Introduction

Overview

The CL1308 / CL1316 LCD KVM Switch features an integrated 19" LED-

backlit LCD panel allowing access and control with up to 8 or 16 computers

from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). As many as 8 (CL1308)

or 16 (CL1316) additional switches can be cascaded bringing the total number

of connected computers to 128 (CL1308) or 256 (CL1316) computers that can

be controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console. Additionally,

the CL1308 / CL1316 features a compact design that allows installation in a 1U

system rack.

Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is

needed. The switch supports both USB and PS/2 connections for the console

and computers. The CL1308 / CL1316 intercepts keyboard input directly, thus

eliminating the need for any software configuration. Switching between

computers can be easily accomplished either by manually pressing the front

panel push button port LEDs, entering hotkey combinations from the

keyboard, or via a menu driven multilingual on-screen display (OSD) system.

A convenient auto-scan feature permits automatic scanning and monitoring of

activities on all connected computers. Lastly, the CL1308 / CL1316 offers the

following additional benefits: a) integrated 19” LED-backlit LCD, keyboard

and mouse console, b) managing 8/16 computers from a single console, c)

eliminating the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor,

and mouse for each computer, d) space and energy costs savings, and d) creates

a greener environment by reducing energy waste.
