MiniView™
Dual View USB KVMP Switch
User Manual (GCS1742 / GCS1744)
®
Thank you for purchasing one of the industry’s most feature-rich dual display KVMs, with USB peripheral
sharing and audio technology. You’ll save money and space by eliminating the need for multiple monitors,
keyboards, mice, as well as USB peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and more. Up to 127
USB devices can be daisy chained from this KVMP switch. Sharing speakers and a microphone also
offers extra value and convenience for the users.
USB and KVM technology together makes cross-platform management easy. A single USB console can
control a PC and a Mac workstation, and share peripherals and audio between the computers.
We hope you’ll enjoy using your Miniview Dual View USB KVMP switch, yet another first-rate connectivity
solution from IOGEAR

Overview
The GCS1742/GCS1744 USB KVM Switch brings dual head video functionality to IOGEAR’s USB KVM
switch technology. Now, two (GCS1742) or four (GCS1744) dual head computers can be accessed and
controlled from a single console that consists of a USB keyboard, USB mouse, and two VGA, SVGA, or
Multisync monitors.
In addition, the GCS1742/1744 incorporates a two port USB hub that allows each of the computers to
share any USB peripherals connected to the hub on a one-computer-at a time basis. Recognizing the
importance of sound, the switches are also audio enabled. A single microphone can provide audio input
to each of the computers, and you can listen to the audio output of each computer on a single set of
speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis).
The GCS1742/GCS1744 independent (asynchronous) switching feature allows independent switching of
the KVM, USB hub, the second display channel, and audio focus. If you wish, you can give one
computer the KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus, while a third has the audio focus.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. There is no software to configure,
no installation routines, and no incompatibility problems.
