Aten CS72U [9/26] Overview

Chapter 1

Introduction

Overview

The CS72U / CS74U 2/4-Port USB KVM Switch is a desktop control unit that

allows users to access two or four computers from a single KVM and VGA

console (keyboard and mouse, audio and VGA monitor).

With the CS72U / CS74U, you can access computers conveniently using port

selection pushbuttons located on the unit’s front panel.

Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. There is

no software to configure, no installation routines, and no incompatibility

problems. Since the CS72U / CS74U intercepts keyboard input directly, it will

work on multiple computing platforms.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a CS72U / CS74U

installation. Since a single console manages all of the computers, the CS72U /

CS74U setup: eliminates the expense of having to purchase separate console

components for each computer; saves all the space those extra components

would take up; saves on energy costs; and eliminates the inconvenience and

wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one computer to another.
