Allow Two Users to Share One Machine


CS201

 

Up to six users share one PC
Automatic or manual switching
Private mode for privileged operation
Screen saver to prevent monitor burn-out
Supports monitor keyboard and mouse

Our computer sharing switches are designed for single task multi-user applications such as booking offices and education environments, where several people can share access to a CPU. This is often a very cost-effective alternative to providing a computer for each user or a network. Installation and operation are both extremely simple, allowing use by people with no special training. The users' monitors, keyboards and mice may be connected to the sharer using their standard cables, or if a greater distance is required an extension cable set is available. The CPU is always attached using an extension cable set, which permits it to be located in a convenient place up to 15 metres away from the sharer. Operation can be set for either automatic switching on user activity, or manual switching from the front panel. A private mode switch gives you the choice of screen visibility to just the current user or to all users, and a screen saver utility is built in to prevent monitors from burning. The sharer supports VGA monitors with resolutions up to 1024 x 768, serial mice and standard 5 pin keyboards. If you don't already have spare consoles, we can supply them for you.
