A KVM switch (KVM being an abbreviation for "keyboard, video and mouse") is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. In the CB308 and CT450 CAEDM labs, KVM switches can be found in group cubicles and allow users to quickly transition between a ThinClient and a user's laptop. In the CT450 lab, each cubicle also has an extra Ethernet cable for easy wired connections to a user's laptop.
To use, attach available monitor and USB connections to a laptop. Once connected, press buttons labeled "#1 CAEDM PC" and "#2 YOUR LAPTOP" to switch between the two devices.
