The CS231 Computer Sharing KVM Switch from Aten is a compact, micro-processor controlled solution designed for environments where two users need to access a single computer efficiently and securely. Perfect for shared workspaces, training labs, help desks, classrooms, and regulated industries, this device consolidates keyboard, video, and mouse control from two independent consoles into one dependable system. With TAA compliance, it meets government procurement standards while maintaining a sleek footprint that fits neatly on a desk or in a rack-friendly setup. By enabling two operators to work on a single PC from their own monitors, keyboards, and mice, the CS231 helps reduce hardware congestion, minimize desk clutter, and extend the life of a single computer by centralizing access control. It’s built to deliver reliable switching with minimal latency, ensuring smooth collaboration without compromising security or performance.

  • Two-user, single-computer sharing: The CS231 enables two distinct consoles to access one computer simultaneously, making it ideal for collaborative projects, process training, and IT support scenarios where quick, coordinated access is essential.
  • Effortless switching for productivity: Front-panel pushbutton switching, along with keyboard/mouse hotkey support, provides fast, reliable transitions between users. The intuitive controls minimize downtime and keep teams focused on their tasks rather than on configuration.
  • USB keyboard and mouse compatibility: Designed to work with standard USB peripherals, the CS231 supports common keyboards and mice, enabling a familiar, plug-and-play experience that reduces setup time and compatibility concerns in mixed-device environments.
  • Compact, durable design for busy spaces: Its compact footprint fits neatly on crowded desks or in shared equipment areas, while robust construction and reliable internal microprocessor control ensure consistent performance in demanding, multi-user workflows.
  • TAA compliant for secure procurement: The CS231 meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it suitable for government, education, and regulated sectors that require compliant hardware without sacrificing functionality or ease of use.

How to install Aten CS231

Setting up the CS231 is straightforward and designed to minimize disruption to your existing workstation. Begin by identifying the two console workstations that will connect to the KVM switch, ensuring each has its own keyboard, mouse, and monitor ready for attachment. Connect the two console peripherals to the two console ports on the CS231, taking care to align USB and video connections with the corresponding ports. Next, attach the host computer to the CS231’s computer port, which provides the single PC that both users will share. Confirm that the computer is powered on and that the display is configured to the appropriate resolution supported by the host and the consoles. Finally, power on all connected devices and test the switching mechanism. Use the front-panel pushbuttons to toggle between consoles, or employ the keyboard hotkeys if your workflow requires rapid switching during collaboration. If your environment uses multiple displays, ensure each console is receiving the correct video signal, and adjust any monitor-specific settings as needed. With the CS231, you’ll notice a clean, organized desk and improved efficiency as two operators coordinate tasks without the need for additional PCs or complex cabling.

Made well. Precise control pouring spout. Stainless steel, not just coated.
Love this little pitcher. It holds up to 12 oz. It's stainless steel, not just coated, and a decent weight. I love the design with the precise control of the eagles beak spout, but I still can't do the "art" very well. The etched numbers inside make a huge difference between making a Cappacino or Combacha as the difference to a lot of these coffee drinks has to do with how much frothed milk you add to your shots of Espresso, so having the etched markings inside is fantastic! The markings are not actually dug/etched INTO the stainless steel. Feels smooth inside to run your fingers over the etchings. Although I've washed it a few times in top rack of dishwasher the etchings haven't faded, so I'm glad about that. The etchings are dark enough to be easily seen. Measure in ounces and ml. Hopefully they will not wear off somehow. That's why I gave it a four star. It's very comfortable to hold and pour.
