What is keyboard and mouse “emulation”?
Emulation is a term that is used to describe the advaced technology that KVM switches use to make switching a trouble free operation. Most computers need to have a keyboard and mouse directly attached in order to boot-up and operate properly. Your KVM switch “emulates” the responses that a computer expects when looking for a a keyboard and mouse. Without emulation, your computer would not recognize that a keyboard and mouse are attached through the KVM switch. Emulation also prevents your computer from locking up when it looks for the keyboard and mouse during normal operation. Emulation is just like having your keyboard and mouse connected directly to your computer.
