Features Hardware Versions A new hardware version (v2) of the B042-004 was released in 2019, requiring different firmware from the previous version (v1). The Support tab of this page includes a zip folder for v2. Along with the applicable firmware, it contains an FW Notes file to help you determine which hardware version you have and which firmware to use. The current firmware comes pre-installed on all v2 models. If you have a hardware version (v1) KVM, consult Technical Support for the applicable firmware. Note: *When daisy-chaining KVM switches together and problems are experienced, confirm switches have the same hardware version. If firmware is not up to date, you may need to upgrade the firmware of your unit(s).* ● NetController 4-Port, 1U rackmount KVM switch ● Control 4 computers via a single VGA monitor and USB or PS/2 keyboard/mouse ● P780-Series USB/PS2 combo KVM cable kits allow you to connect either USB or PS/2 computers, without the need to purchase separate cables or adapters ● Control up to 244 computers by daisychaining up to 15 additional B042-Series KVM switches ● ● Allows for easy customization of ports by daisy-chaing any combination of B042-Series KVM's (4-, 8- or 16-port) B042-004 NetController 4-Port, 1U rackmount KVM switch ● ● Standard 19" Rackmount size - hardware included ● On-Screen Display (OSD) menu for intuitive operation and easy control External Power Supply with NEMA 1-15P Plug (Input: 100240V, 50/60Hz, 0.3A / Output: 9V, 1A) ● Switch between connected computers via the On-Screen Display (OSD), pushbuttons, or keyboard hotkey commands ● Rackmount hardware ● 8 In.
