The ServSwitch™ DKM provides full flexibility for configuration of your Switch
environment. One part of the ServSwitch™ DKM can be configured as Single-Head Ports,
another part as Dual-Head- or even Quad-Head Ports. Additionally, there are mixed
configurations of KVM and USB2.0 ports available.
With the ‚CPU-Splitter’ function, you can copy your own display content to one or more
additional monitors, e.g. if a presentation shall be displayed concurrently on a beamer.
The operating mode ‚Control Room’ allows the selection of several CPUs that are
permanently displayed on a set of monitors. By means of hotkeys, you can quickly and easily
switch between the monitors for operation.
Further, in each operating mode, the device can be controlled like a ‚Crosspoint Switch’. This
functionality can be used e.g. to perform all switch activity from one single workplace or to
set up specific configurations which are not allowed in regular operating modes. Obviously,
this is the only possible operating mode for pure video switching environments.
Presumably, standard access will be done via the OSD by means of a connected keyboard.
Nevertheless, additional access options are available:
By means of the supplied IR Remote Control at the LCD-Display
By means of HTTP and Web Browser (under development)
By means of the serial interface
By means of the network interface (socket server)
Connection to market available media controls is possible as well as control by our dedicated
switch control, a JAVA application and serial interface or socket server.
