You can Switch
A Switch is, in principle, a multiport bridge. It concerns itself with the OSI layer two media access control (MAC) information in the frames it processes. It learns the MAC source addresses associated with each port as traffic appears, so little or no manual administration is required.
When a frame arrives at a port, the Switch examines its MAC destination address. If the destination is local to the segment the frame is on, the Switch filters the frame; that is, ignores the frame and does not retransmit it. If the Switch\'s address database associates the destination with another port, the frame is forwarded (or transmitted) on that port. If the frame\'s destination is unknown, the Switch transmits it to every port except the incoming one.'); return false">Switch KVM channels by pressing scroll lock + scroll lock or num lock + num lock within two seconds. The Hot key sequence denotes that you hit the individual key consecutively, one at a time, not simultaneously. To Switch
