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.

Automatic Mouse Conversion

The StarView Switch enables you to connect computers with PS/2 or serial mouse ports (using adapters supplied with each SV231), and control both computers from one PS/2 mouse. The StarView automatically identifies the mouse and switches to proper mouse protocol.
