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.
