The Avaya C360 Converged Stackable switches provide high-performance and IP telephony connectivity in a very compact design. These switches are designed to support voice, video, and data applications on a Local area network (LAN) and are ideal for use in wire closets where their stackable and compact architecture let you deploy the right number of ports where-ever needed, and to economically deliver power to endpoints for a more manageable and survivable solution. The C360 switches are available in Power over Ethernet (PoE) models which are ideal in situations where you need to connect to devices requiring power, such as wireless access points, security devices, and IP telephones. Power management is simplified with the C360 switches because they automatically detect and deliver power to any 802.3af compliant device. By using this standards based PoE solution, you eliminate the need to add mid-span units, local power units, and have power cords running to endpoints. This allows you to provide power for endpoints to enable continuous operations, end-to-end in the event that building power is lost.
Advantages: Easy to use, easy to install Disadvantages: closeness of the ports.
...Netgear are well known for their networking equipment and it is for this reason I want to tell you about a great piece of kit. The 24portswitch.
24ports of networking capability.... But what does that all mean???
Ok, let me tell you about what a network is.
Even the internet is just one big network. it is simply just a collection of computers that are connected together and can communicate. Simple!
But, how do you connect them together? Its not like they shake hands and have a chat is it?
Well in a way, that is what they are doing but using some extra hardware to do this.
To put a computer on a network, it needs a Network interface card or NIC. This plugs into your computer's motherboard. Its basically similar to installing a graphics card or sound card. You then need to connect the computer via the NIC card to...

...stops autoscanning and lets you use the currently selected PC.
The Belkin claims support for scrolling mice but I did find sometimes one PC would start up without recognising this facility if it wasn't the currently selected one when booting up and in extreme cases, wouldn't recognise the keyboard and mouse at all. Previous KVM's I've used send the PC fake 'There's a keyboard and mouse here' messages when not selected and it seems this unit does not, which is a pity.
Conclusion
The Belkin 2 port KVM is a well built unit that works nicely and provides a great way to save desk space and the cost of a second monitor, keyboard and mouse. The long leads are useful and despite the niggles with scrolling mice and the lack of manual switch. I'd say this unit is worth considering at this price if you can live with those shortcomings...
