Its Commander line is a common sight in many places where rows upon rows of servers need to be controlled from one monitor, keyboard, and mouse station. You can control four computers from one station in a single-unit configuration. Up to 64 computers can be controlled if you elect to daisy-chain together multiple units.
Installation is straightforward and simple.
You first connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the unit's base port. You then use the included cables to connect computers to the four available port groups. You can switch between ports either by pressing the Select button or by using keyboard commands. Use the Control key to put the SwitchView Commander into command mode and operate the unit from the keyboard. In testing, we found that the enhanced keyboard that came with our 266MHz Pentium II Gateway G6 Series testbed with 32MB of RAM was unable to control the SwitchView Commander unit in command mode.
