Make sure you order the correct modules

I accidentally ordered the modules for the B064 series and thought they were ok but they didn't even turn on. Modules for B070 and B072 must be ordered! Please note that you need modules if you want to use this device properly. So take this price into account when making your purchase. This system doesn't have direct KVM inputs like the old model and no* USB* input. It is designed to use PS/2 and KB mice and transfer signals to USB using modules. The modules also convert the VGA port signals of each system on this KVM switch to Ethernet connections. Don't look at it and think that you can just connect it to any system via Ethernet! While it may be possible, this device is not designed to work and I have not researched it as video drivers are unlikely to support my custom servers/arrays. I'll do an additional check once I can shake it properly.
