Overview
Save money on expensive monitors, create more working space and cut down on
your power costs. Designed and manufactured in Australia by an award winning
engineering company, they arepacked with features, providing total control of
your ever expanding network.
Select Computers via On-Screen-Display (SOHO
series does not have OSD)
They feature pop-up screen menu control, yet require absolutely no software.
Select any computer directly from your keyboard using simple hot-key commands.
When you invoke the hot-key, a pop-up menu will appear on your screen listing
the connected computers by name.
Computers can also be selected by a simple press of the "Print-Screen" button on your keyboard.
Name your Computers for Easy Identification
They allow you to assign names to each computer to simplify selection.
Give your computers names that are meaningful to you.
Selecting NT Server or UNIX Server is a lot easier than selecting Computer 1
or Computer 2.
Mouse & Keyboard Emulation for Flawless Booting
At the heart of the ServerLink Infinity is a custom RISC I/O processor. This
processor has multitasking implemented in hardware, which allows it to simultaneously
run independent drivers for each connected computer and the local console devices.
This unique emulation technology means each computer continuously sees its own
keyboard and mouse, ensuring error free switching and flawless booting.
Scan Mode for Periodic Monitoring of Computers
A powerful feature is the Auto Scan feature. Computers can be grouped by tagging
or untagging using the on-screen menu. When placed in Auto Scan mode the ServerLink
will sequentially scan only those tagged computers. The scan interval is also
user selectable offering greater flexibility for monitoring your computers.
Host Powered
They are powered by attached computers, eliminating system power failures. This
feature ensures continued mouse & keyboard emulation, preventing system
lock-ups.
ServerLink KVM Switch Cables
The quality of your KVM switch cables directly affects the video quality displayed
on your monitor. ServerLink KVM switch cables are moulded 3 in 1 cables with
connectors for monitor, keyboard and mouse. Every ServerLink KVM switch cable
is made from high quality componentry and uses individual coaxial cables for
each RGB signal, minimizing interference, signal degradation and ghosting.
The SL-821 KVM switch allows you to control 8 computers or network servers,
and SL-1621 KVM switch allows you to control 16 computers or network servers
with a single monitor keyboard & mouse. All ServerLink KVM switches are
hardware only solutions totally independent of software and network operating
systems. This ensures hassle free installation and error free switching &
