The
SMK580LX15 uses aluminum for the LCD panel and keyboard housing. It weighs about
10 pounds less than comparable products made with metal. And it has a sleek look given by
its brushed finish.
The rackmounting flanges and slide rails are still made of steel for strength.- Flexible rack mounting
- Ball-bearing slide rails with rack mounting front and rear brackets are mounted on the unit. The rear bracket can be extended from 25" to more than 38" accomodating are wide range of rack configurations.
- User friendly console switch
- The
SMK console switch series includes an 8- or 16-port keyboard video mouse switch providing
a convenient solution for controlling multiple computers. The KVM console switch lets
you control up to 128 PCs or servers by cascading additional KVM switches. The SMK
series console switch supports hot plugging of systems so you don't have to power down
the KVM to add or remove PCs. It features auto-scanning of connected systems and systems
on cascaded installations.
Using the console switch can't be simpler, using a combination of on-screen menu and keyboard-mounted pushbuttons, the console switch scans for connected PCs and the operator uses the pushbuttons to select the desired PC either by number or by name. - Assign unique Names to connected computers
- In a networked environment, you may find it easier to identify the computer in a network by name, rather than by port number. You can assign the same names as those assigned by the network for each computer.
