The ServSwitch Freedom™ enables a single USB keyboard/mouse user to easily access information and control operations across four USB computer systems and monitors, saving time and money.
With the ServSwitch Freedom, you can perform functions that ordinarily would require four separate keyboard/mouse sets—freeing up valuable desktop space and simplifying your work. The Freedom works as if you had an extended desktop on a single computer. Instead, you have four PCs, and all you need to do is configure your screen layout. Switching ports is as simple as moving your mouse cursor over the screens’ X and Y borders.

It’s ideal for professionals in command and control applications, such as those in finance on a trading desk floor. Not only can users switch between several computers just by moving the mouse, but they can also simultaneously access a mix of USB peripherals, including high-speed USB 2.0 devices.
When properly configured, the switch has two switched USB Type A ports for the USB 2.0 peripheral connectivity, in addition to its four USB Type B ports for computer channels and two USB Type A ports for USB keyboard/mouse connections.
The keyboard/mouse, audio, and the two individual USB channels can be collectively or separately switched through to each computer system. You can, for instance, create e-mails on one system, listen to audio on a second system, print from a third computer, and scan documents on another—all at the same time.
Yet also external switching is possible. An options' port enables the ServSwitch Freedom to be remotely switched using simple ASCII codes. The same port can also be used to upgrade the firmware to guarantee that your hardware investment continues to deliver real value well into the future. The optional remote control unit (KV4-REM) offers four colour-coded buttons allowing switching on a keystroke.
Even better, there’s no need to install any software on the connected computers, so setup is simplified and you won’t create any security issues in the process—a real concern in government, healthcare, and banking environments.
In addition, the ServSwitch Freedom works with all known software and operating systems, including Windows®, Linux®, Mac®, Sun™, UNIX®, and NetWare® systems.
