Sharing one device or console between
multiple computers Sharing one computer with multiple devices or consolesr 
Sharing one Monitor with multiple computers Cables: For the manual switches,
to connect between the computer and the switchbox, Use M1337, or for
longer lengths, use M1327. The monitor should be
able to plug into the switch. If an extension is needed, use M1339, or for longer lengths, use M1329. The electronic switch would use the M1339 or M1329 for all
connections.

Sharing one parallel printer with multiple computers (without a
network) Please note: For switches that are NOT IEEE1284
compliant, the IEEE1284 interface would need to be disabled on the printer.
Manual switches will not support the IEEE1284 interface. Only certain auto
switches support the interface. - Using DB25s Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M2131, or for longer lengths, use ADP3231 and L0505 (the ADP3231 is not
IEEE1284 Compliant). Then to connect from the switchhbox to the printer, use M2256.
- Alternative configuration Using
CN36s Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M2256, or for longer lengths, use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not
IEEE1284 Compliant). Then to connect from the switchbox to the printer, use M2200.
- Alternative configuration for
using Parallel printer cables all around Cables: The M2256 is used from computer to switch and from switch
to printer. For longer distances, use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not
IEEE1284 Compliant).
.
Sharing one serial (RS232) device with multiple computers
Switches with all DB25 Females Cables: For Manual switches, to connect between
the computer and the switchbox, use M1371 (or M2132 if the computer has a DB25 serial port). Then if
connecting to a Modem or other DCE configured device, use M2131, or for a serial printer or other DTE configured
device, use M2161. Since not all auto switches are
designed the same, please click on the auto switch and see what cables it uses
on its information page.
Sharing USB devices with multiple computers Cables: The M2404 is
used from computer to switch and from switch to peripherals. For longer
distances, add the USB extender, part number ADP31802-16.
Our ADP3184
can be also used to extend a USB signal through a Cat 5 cable.
Sharing multiple monitors with one computer Splitters can be
used to broadcast the VGA to multiple monitors simultaneously, or a switch box
could be used to display one monitor at a time.
Cables: To connect between the computer and the switchbox, use M2131. Then to connect from the switchbox to the
printer, use M2256, or for longer distances, use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not
IEEE1284 Compliant).

Sharing multiple printers with one computer (single parallel
port) Please note: For switches that are NOT IEEE1284
compliant, the IEEE1284 interface would need to be disabled on the printer.
Manual switches will not support the IEEE1284 interface. Only certain auto
switches support the interface. - Using DB25s Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M2131. Then to connect from the
switchbox to the printer, use M2256, or for longer
distances, use ADP3230 and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not

- Alternative configuration for

used from computer to switch and from switch to printer. For longer distances,
use ADP3230
and L0505 (the ADP3230 is not

Sharing multiple serial (RS232) devices with one computer (single serial
port) Switches with all DB25 Females Cables: To connect between the computer and the
switchbox, use M1371 (or M2132 if the computer has a DB25 serial port). Then if
connecting to a Modem or other DCE configured device, use M2131, or for a serial printer or other DTE configured
device, use M2161.
Sharing multiple USB devices with one computer A switchbox is
only needed when USB devices need to be isolated; otherwise USB hubs will allow multiple USB devices to work to
one computer. Cables: The M2404 is
used from computer to switch and from switch to peripherals. For longer
distances, add the USB extender, part number ADP31802-16.
Our ADP3184
can be also used to extend a USB signal through a Cat 5
cable.
