Control Scope
The ATEN CS1716A is a 16-port KVM switch that lets one PS/2 or USB console manage up to sixteen directly connected computers. It targets administrators who need local, multi-platform access without network-dependent software agents.
Capacity Limits
Video output reaches 2048 x 1536 resolution across the single monitor port. Daisy-chaining supports 31 extra units for a 512-computer ceiling, while the front USB hub serves one peripheral at a time per selected system.
Bundled Impact
SPHD-15 cables for each computer and the SPHD-18 console cable are required but not listed as included; the RJ-11 flash port enables firmware updates, and front-panel buttons plus hot-key/OSD switching provide immediate control without extra software.

Questions about this item
Will the CS1716A work with the PS/2 keyboards and mice I already have on older servers?
Yes, the CS1716A supports both PS/2 and USB consoles, so your existing PS/2 peripherals connect directly to the SPHD-18 console port.
How can I verify the video signal is passing through at the rated 2048 x 1536 resolution after installation?
Use the on-screen display (OSD) or hot-key menu to confirm the active resolution; the switch handles up to 2048 x 1536 at the console port.
Which cables come in the box and what must I buy separately to connect 16 computers?
The unit includes the KVM switch and power adapter; you need 16 SPHD-15 to PS/2 or USB KVM cables (one per computer) purchased separately.
