CS1708AATU, CS1708A-AT-U
Overview
The CS1708A KVM switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple 
computers from a single PS/2 or USB console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). A 
single CS1708A can control up to 8 computers. As many as 31 additional switches 
can be daisy-chained to each other, so that up to 256 computers can all be 
controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console. Additionally, a front 
panel USB port is available for each computer to access any peripherals 
connected to it on a one-at-a-time basis.
