It supports both USB and PS/2 interfaces and offers automatic interface detection and keyboard/mouse emulation to ensure smooth switching and simultaneous booting of multiple computers. The console supports daisy-chaining for large installations and includes on-screen display (OSD), front-panel controls, hotkeys and firmware upgrade capability across chained units.
