Tradeswitch function (option)
The Tradeswitch function optimises the operation of user modules that monitor sev-
eral computers over several monitors.
Instead of connecting keyboard and mouse to each monitor, the Tradeswitch func-
tion provides a central keyboard/mouse for all operating tasks of the user module.
In order to enable this, up to eight user modules of a KVM matrix system are
arranged into groups, which form the multi-monitor console.
Each user module within a group is provided with a monitor, but only one of the
group’s user modules is provided with keyboard and mouse. By using a hotkey, the
user is now able to switch these two input devices to each monitor. Now, each com-
puter of the group can be operated.
