Thank you for purchasing the BLACK BOX
®
ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB. Your
ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB is a very high performance Keyboard, Video monitor and
Mouse (KVM) sharing device which supports a wide range of computer hardware
and software platforms. The ServSwitch Duo USB supports two users and enables
each user to independently access the connected computers. The ServSwitch Uno
USB supports a single control console.
The ServSwitch Uno USB and ServSwitch Duo USB are multi-platform KVM
switches that are designed for controlling computers that have different styles of
keyboard and mouse port. Cables are available to connect to PC PS/2 style ports (6-
pin min-DIN connectors for keyboard and mouse, often colored purple and green),
USB style ports (common on many laptop and desktop PCs, Sun computers and
Apple Mac computers) and Sun style ports (8-pin min-DIN connector for keyboard
and mouse used on older style Sun computers). USB style keyboards and mice are
available for all the different styles of computer that may be controlled and so the
ServSwitch Uno/Duo USB supports USB devices to enable you to use your
preferred style of keyboard and mouse.
An On-Screen-Display (OSD) menu system is provided for easy computer selection
and control. This enables users to select computers by name or description without
having to remember the port that the computer is physically connected to. The OSD
menu system also provides a security structure that enables the system
administrator to allocate access rights to each user on a login basis.
We trust that you will be delighted with the function of your new ServSwitch Uno/Duo
USB. Product enhancement upgrades are provided free of charge during the
