Description
Connect the sharing computers to these
ports with “CPU Adapter Cables.” At the
ServSwitch end these cables have a DB25
male connector; at the other ends, they
have appropriate connectors to plug into
your CPUs’ video, keyboard, and mouse
ports. These cables take the signals that
would normally pass between the CPUs’
ports and the monitor, keyboard, and
mouse, and carry them between the CPUs’
ports and the Switch instead.
You could also connect “submaster” Serv
type switches to these ports using
“ServSwitch to ServSwitch Expansion
Cables.” These cables have DB25 male
connectors at both ends; at the submaster
end, they should be plugged into a
MONITOR/KEYBOARD/MOUSE port.
