Product Name: ATEN Masterview Pro KVM Matrix Switch. (2-Consoles x 8-PCS) (CS228).

Leading our foray into the multi-user switch arena is ATEN's CS228. With support for two users and up to eight attached computers, this unit is perfect for testing benches and other multi-user environments. Multilevel password protection, built-in OSD (On-Screen Display) and full multimedia sharing are just a few of the enhanced features the CS228 supports. Of course, the CS228 also supports many of the features that make ATEN KVM switches stand above the competition, including support for up to 1920 x 1440 flicker-free video resolution, Plug-n-Play monitors and most advanced wheel mice. There's no better way to manage a multi-user server room or testing bench than with the CS228.

Password protection is provided in order to prevent unauthorized access to the computers. Responding to the growing use of audio, the CS228 has built in microphone and speaker support.

Because of its multiconsole design, the CS228 cannot be daisy chained to another CS228; Instead, the CS138A serves as the cascading unit. Up to eight CS138As (using 2L1603P/2L1603P/2L1605P as the cascading cable) can be chained to the CS228, for a total of up to 64 connected computers.
