Introduction
Overview
The CS1732B / CS1734B are two- and four-port KVMP Switches combined
with a two-port USB 2.0 hub. As KVM switches, they allow users to access
two and four computers from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console.
The CS1732
B / CS1734B improves on previous designs by giving the user a
choice of either transferring keyboard and mouse data to the computers via a
USB connection, or with the traditional PS/2 connection. If a USB connection
is used, the CS1732
B / CS1734B's integrated two-port USB hub is available for
each computer to access any peripherals connected to the hub on a one-at-a-
time basis.
The CS1732
B
/ CS1734
B
's asynchronous switching feature allows independent
switching of the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus. If you wish, you can give one
computer the KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus, while a third has
the audio focus. You can work on a spreadsheet on one computer, for example,
while you print from a second computer at the same time, thus eliminating the
need to purchase separate USB hubs or peripheral sharers.
Recognizing the importance of sound, the CS1732B / CS1734B is 2.1 channel
surround sound audio enabled. A single microphone can provide audio input to
each of the computers, and you can listen to the audio output of each computer
on a single set of speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis).
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 CS1732
B / CS1734B intercepts keyboard input directly, it
works on multiple operating platforms (PC compatible, Mac*, Sun*, etc.).
There are four convenient methods to access the computers: pushbutton port
selection switches located on the unit's front panel; an OSD (On Screen
Display) selection panel; Hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard; and
an innovative new mouse port-switching feature that allows you cycle through
the ports using the mouse alone.
