The Aten CL5708M 8-Port 17" Single Rail LCD KVM Console is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. A single CL5708M can control up to 8 computers, and as many as 31 additional KVM switches can be daisy-chained to the CL5708M, so that up to 256 computers can all be controlled from a single KVM console.
