PLANET's KVM switches utilize advanced microprocessor emulation to intelligently manage each KVM port. This allows simultaneous boot-up of all the attached computers. Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock status can also be saved for each computer. They support VGA, SVGA and MultiSync monitors at up to 1920 x 1440 resolutions.

Furthermore, in addition to computers with a PS/2 interface, iMAC, Power MAC and Sun Microsystems with only a USB port can also be connected through PLANET's USB-PS2 adapter and thus be controlled by a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.

The KVM-E500 is composed of two units: Transmitter and Receiver. The Transmitter can directly attach to a computer or a KVM switch. It synthesizes PS/2 keyboard signal, PS/2 mouse signal, and VGA monitor signal for being easily transmitted over a long distance. The Receiver locating in the remote site can get the synthetic signal and resolve it into original signals.

The KVM-E500 is the ideal solution for isolated server rooms, test sites, or secure systems where the computers ought to keep away from the public. No software is required, and Plug & Play installations reduce the efforts while deploying KVM-E500 to work field.
