Description:

The USB-802 "MegaSwitch"™ 2 Port Three-Head USB KVM Switch with USB Hub-Support allows one USB keyboard, USB mouse and three monitors to control two triple head / triple video USB PCs. It is the ideal solution for three monitor USB KVM switch applications requiring access to two USB computers, without the clutter and expense of additional keyboards, mice and monitors. The USB-802 2 Port Three-Head USB KVM Switch with USB Hub-Support supports all popular USB keyboards including those with built-in USB hubs, USB mice, and video resolution up to 1600 by 1200 at 75Hz per monitor. In addition, the USB-802 2 Port Three-Head USB KVM Switch with USB Hub-Support, provides one level of Hub-Support and also works with a wide range of USB low-speed and full-speed HID devices.

At the heart of the USB-802 2 Port Three-Head USB KVM Switch is Vetra's advanced, patented technology, which provides and supports true USB device enumeration through the switch. This is in contrast with competitive switches, which only emulate, rather than truly enumerate, devices. Connected keyboards, mice and/or devices enumerate and operate correctly, even through a hub. Devices may be "hot-plugged" at any time, and the connected PCs may be powered up and down in any order. The unique, patented, architecture of the USB-802 2 Port Three-Head USB KVM Switch ensures error free boot up and device driver loading for each connected PC, and allows the MegaSwitch to operate transparently with all USB compatible PCs, including iMAC's, PC operating systems, and applications.

The USB-802 2 Port Three-Head USB KVM Switch with USB Hub-Support comes in a variety of standard configurations, is compact in design, easy to install and operate, and is ideally suited for desktop use. For applications requiring rack mounting, an optional 2U height rack mount tray is available (see Accessories ). The USB-802 2 Port Three-Head USB KVM Switch with USB Hub-Support is also available as a Dual or Quad-Head USB KVM Switch (models for 2 and 4 video monitors per PC).

All Vetra Three-Head USB KVM Switches are designed and manufactured in the USA for use around the world for enterprise mission-critical applications and are backed by a Limited 3-year Warranty.

OPERATION:

All USB-802 "MegaSwitch" 2 Port Three-Head USB KVM Switch models can select the active PC via a keyboard "hot-key" sequence ( [scroll lock] + [1] for PC1, or [scroll lock] + [2] for PC2), or by a push button(s) located on the front panel of the KVM Switch.

Direct Entry models (as indicated by -DE in the model number) have two individual push button switches for selecting the active PC channel as well as an "auto-scan" mode ([scroll lock] +"A"). Auto-scan sequentially switches through each connected and powered PC, pausing for 5 seconds at each PC before automatically switching to the next PC. The selection of any PC channel terminates the auto-scan mode. Non-DE models have a single push button (NEXT PC) which toggles between the two selectable PC channels.

In all cases and on all models, when a PC channel is selected, an LED on the front panel illuminates to indicate the selected PC. Additional front panel LED's indicate which PC channels are powered. Upon selection, the intelligence in the MegaSwitch correctly sets the USB keyboard's status indicators, CAPS, SCROLL, and NUM Lock, as these settings may be different for each PC. The keyboard and/or mouse may be disconnected and re-connected (hot-plugged), or exchanged at any time without having to power down the connected PC's. This feature is useful if a connected device fails during a critical application.

Connections:

Standard USB type A-B cables are used to connect the MegaSwitch to the USB ports of the PCs, and standard HDD15 Male-female video cables are used to connect to the video ports of PCs. Using standard cables eliminates the need to replace an entire multi-port cable if one connection is damaged or fails, thereby reducing the overall cost of maintainence. You may use your cables, or ours (see Accessories ). The captive cables that are part of the USB keyboard, USB mouse, and video monitor are used to connect these devices to the MegaSwitch.
