ServSwitch™ DKM
1
Welcome to the ServSwitch™ Family!
Thank you for purchasing a ServSwitch™ DKM! We appreciate your business, and we think
you’ll appreciate the many ways that your ServSwitch™ DKM will save you money, time,
and effort.
The ServSwitch™ DKM offers four fundamental uses:
As a Crosspoint Switch with a maximum of 32 input ports and 16 output ports.
Optionally, in reverse mode, the device supports a maximum of 16 input ports and
32 output ports. Thus, you can, for example, switch and distribute the signals from
multiple signal sources on up to 32 displays (allowing explicitly simultaneous
presentations on several displays). Alternatively, signals coming from up to 32
signal sources can be switched in turn to a single display. The changeover can be
triggered remotely using the remote control (included), the serial interface (RS232)
and/or by the built-in web interface.
As a KVM Switch with a maximum of 32 CPU ports and 16 Console ports. The
ports can be configured as Single-Head ports (a “Single-Head” extender system
supports 1x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse), Dual-Head ports (a Dual-Head
extender system supports 2x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse) or even Quad-Head
ports (a Quad -Head extender system supports 4x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse).
The changeover can be triggered remotely using the remote control (included), the
serial interface (RS232) and/or by the built-in web interface.
In KVM Switch Mode CPU Ports and CON Ports can be configured as USB2.0
Ports. This can be done for single Ports as well as for combinations of one Single-
Head (Triple-Head-)Port and one USB2.0 Port. In the latter case the respective
consoles will always be switched together with its assigned USB2.0 Port.
As a special case of the KVM Switch, you can choose the “Control Room” Mode
with 2, 4 or 8 monitors. In “Control Room” Mode, up to 8 CPU’s are permanently
displayed on up to 8 monitors. With a hotkey, you can switch to any of these
monitors for operation.
In “Teacher/Student” Mode, the teacher can attend up to 31 students.
The ServSwitch™ DKM has the advantage that it can be positioned (CATx version) up to
140m away from both your signal source and display device. This becomes possible by using
the proven ServSwitch™- Extender technology for the transmission of DVI- Monitor and
USB-Keyboard and Mouse signals over CATx cable.
The operation of a ServSwitch™ DKM always requires up to 32 Local Units and up to 16
Remote Units from the ServSwitch™-Extenders range.
