Introduction

Overview

The StarView SV231 is a computer switch that allows access to two IBM compatible computers from one keyboard, mouse and monitor. Switching between computers is as easy as pressing the push button or entering hot-key commands from your keyboard. There is no interface card and software to install and the StarView is independent of the computer operating system. The space-saving design enables you to connect all the cables to the back of the SV231.
