The Master View Pro KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the Master View Pro, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner. Depending on the model, a Master View Pro can control up to 4, 8, or 16 PCs.

Since each CPU Port on a Master View installation is assigned a unique Port ID, you can directly access any computer on any level of the installation using the Hot Key port selection method or from the OSD Main Menu by specifying the Port ID that the computer is connected to. The Port ID is made up of two parts: 1. The Station Number - a two digit number which reflects the Master View’s position in the daisy chain sequence, and 2. The Port Number - a one or two digit number whi
