Belkin KVM 4-ports w/USB but Console w/o USB
Ports and Console feature PS/2 connectors. Because the Console lacks a USB port, I'm unsure about the function of the four USB ports on this switch. Are they genuine USB ports or merely for connecting PCs without PS2 ports? The manual appears to be completely irrelevant regarding how to connect these USB ports.
There are numerous possibilities based on the specific conversion needs. The connection can be PS/2 to USB or USB to PS/2. Various adapters and cables exist. The main focus should be to outline the necessary connections between the Belkin KVM and the Console, taking note of the physical ports and their types. You can search online for available adapters and cables to find suitable options for the required connectivity. It's important to pay attention to details.
The setup allows only PS/2 and VGA connections from the KVM to the console, with no USB options. The slaves have USB ports. At the slave end, the keyboard and mouse can use either PS/2 or USB, and the KVM can convert USB inputs from the slave to PS/2 for the console if needed.
Regarding KVM models that switch USB connections so external devices like an external HDD or a full USB hub can be connected alongside the console, KVM options that support this functionality are available.
