8-Port VGA KVMP with USB & PS/2 Interface
IOGEAR’s GCS1808 KVMP is a combo USB and PS/2 switch allowing access and control of up to 128* computers from a single
console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). Cascade as many as 8 additional switches to bring the total number of connected
computers to 64 computers that can be controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console. A custom ASIC (patent pending)
provides an auto-sensing function that recognizes the position of each station on the installation, eliminating the need to manually set
the position with DIP switches. Additionally, the GCS1808 features high density SPHD 15-pin instead of the usual 25-pin connectors
thus allowing for a compact design and installation in a 1U system rack.
Expanded Peripheral Sharing
The GCS1808 includes one USB port located on the front panel for easy access for system upgrades and shared peripherals. 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 GCS1808 intercepts keyboard input directly, thus eliminating the need for any
software configuration.
