TradeSwitch function - one workplace, several computers

Illustration CrossDisplay-Switching

The TradeSwitch-Function streamlines the operation of workplaces where several computers are monitored or controlled simultaneously through multiple console modules.

How it works

Rather than assigning a separate keyboard and mouse to each console module, the TradeSwitch-Function provides one central set of input devices for the entire workplace. To do so, several console modules of a KVM matrix system are combined into a group; only one module in the group is equipped with a keyboard and mouse.

The user switches these two input devices to any console module in the group using a hotkey. Computer modules can also be integrated into the group, with keyboard and mouse signals switched to them directly – for a laptop with its own monitor, for example.

Parts of the function

  • CrossDisplay-Switching: switching by mouse movement instead of hotkey
  • FreeSeating: one login for all console modules at a workplace, including restoration of the sources last used

Benefits in operation

  • One set of input devices for a workplace with several computers
  • Less hardware and less cabling at the desk
  • Continuous operation instead of switching between separate input devices

CrossDisplay-Switching
CrossDisplay-Switching switches keyboard and mouse between the computers of a multi-monitor workplace by mouse movement alone. It is part of the TradeSwitch-Function. Learn more >>
FreeSeating
FreeSeating automatically restores a user's personal working environment at any workplace. A single login applies to all console modules at that workplace. The function is part of the TradeSwitch-Function. Learn more >>
IP-Control-API
The IP-Control-API enables text-based XML control of a KVM matrix system over the network — sending switching commands and retrieving switching states, independently of any console module. Learn more >>
Push-Get function
The Push-Get-Function transfers the switch state of one console module to another – pushing it there or getting it from there. A source can be handed over within the team without the recipient having to switch. Learn more >>
Scenario switching
Scenario switching stores the switch state of one workplace, several workplaces or the entire system and restores it on demand. Learn more >>
