KVM Switch: Better Efficiency & Saves you Money

In these days of high end servers, it becomes very difficult for the Network Engineers to control multiple computers with multiple peripherals and this is where the role of KVM Switches comes into play. KVM short for Keyboard, Video, Mouse switch is a Hardware device that enables a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse to control more than one computer one at a time. With just the touch of one button, you can change the PC you want to control.

KVM Switches are popular among users who have upgraded their home PC systems and want to still use their old computers but do not want to invest in a second keyboard, monitor and mouse. A business can use these switches to save money as the latter requires less physical space & improve business continuity as they allow the network personnel to access, control & manage the company’s servers even when the corporate network is non-functional.

KVM switches also come in a variety of Range, styles & functionality. Whereas the USB version, which is the USB KVM, enables a single user to control multiple USB Computers via a single USB keyboard, mouse & VGA Monitor, the PS2 KVM Switch performs the same function via a PS2 Keyboard, mouse & VGA monitor. The PS2 KVM Switch with Audio performs the same function with the added ability to switch audio from each PC that is connected & transmit the sound to a set of peripheral speakers.

The Dual Video DVI KVM Switch & the Dual Video PS2 KVM Switch help to control multiple computers with dual video connections. These switches support dual DVI Monitor/Flat panel display with high resolution up to 1920*1440.

Another variety, which is the IP KVM switches, provides a touch screen functionality & IP access with SSL v2 / v3 Secured transmission, Virtual Media & Mouse synchronization. They can be cascaded to access up to 256 Servers

The CAT5 KVM Switch allows access up to 40 meters with CAT5/6 cables. They provide higher density, multiplatform capabilities through the use of USB or PS/2 dongles.

DVI KVM Switch (DVI stands for digital video interface) is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple DVI based computer with a single keyboard, DVI video monitor and mouse.

KVM switches offer a ROI in hardware savings by eliminating the need for separate Keyboard, Video & Mouse. They play a vital role in improving productivity & overall server management system by allowing Out-Of-Band access to the company’s servers and IT devices. They also free-up valuable physical space, reduce clutter and decrease demands on electric power and cooling systems.

Control Switches
I have a sears digital control garage opener and no remote control. It is the kind with DIP switches.?

I have a newer remote control with the three buttons on it, but no dip switches. How can I make the newer three button control work with both my doors? (the new and the old)?

Contact Sears Parts and obtain an operating manual for your model unit. You will find the model # and Serial # on the main unit. Your newer Remote probably is not the correct remote for your Opener.
