The TradeSwitch-Function

optimizes the operation of workplaces that, through multiple console modules, are responsible for the simultaneous monitoring or control of multiple computers. Instead of assigning a separate keyboard and mouse to each console module, the TradeSwitch-Function provides a central keyboard and mouse for controlling the entire workplace. To enable this, multiple console modules of a KVM matrix system are grouped together. Within the group, only one module is equipped with a keyboard and mouse. The user can switch these two input devices to any console module using a hotkey. With CrossDisplay-Switching as part of the TS-Function, user-friendly switching via mouse movement is also enabled. The mouse behaves as if on a “virtual desktop” and can be seamlessly moved across the connected monitors. When the mouse pointer moves from one monitor to another, the keyboard-mouse focus is automatically redirected to another module, thus switching to a different computer. Computer modules can also be integrated into the TradeSwitch group, where the keyboard and mouse signals can be switched directly. This allows, for example, the operation of a laptop that has its own monitor. With the FreeSeating function, as part of the TS-Function, the user’s personal work environment is automatically restored at any workplace within the group – including the last connected sources. The simplified login process optimizes workflows and increases productivity: The login credentials only need to be entered once to log into all console modules of the group and switch to the most recently used sources. Similarly, a single logout is sufficient to log out the entire group.
