Can you attach a switch on the client end of the adapter to enable multiple devices to connect to one plug?

Yes, you can. I have a wireless router/switch on the end of mine, extends my wireless network for me.

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

There is no "Physical" Switch on the connector itself. It is a sofware switch and that depends on the software you using with it if it has the capability.

If you mean the 3x1 switch, the answer is yes. All three source devices can be on but only one input will be selected at a time.

No, it's a splitter. You should get the switch. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1V071E

You can but not together. The port that the devices attach to will only accept one device at a time.

If you are talking about the poe interfaces then each interface is switchable from the web admin page but it may require a reboot of the. Switch and I have not personally tested this process

yes it is a switch. You plug an Ethernet cable from a device that can provide dhcp addressing such a router or server, and this gives you multiple ports to plug in peripheral devices or computers.

No. It has a button to switch between ports. However, it does automatically switch to whichever port device is powered. Of course, if two or more are powered you will have to manually select the one you want.

There is 1 of each available connection type. If you use a different connection for each source, you can do so and can switch between with a couple pushes of the buttons on the monitor.

You only can use one port at a time and do one thing at a time. Mine won't work at all but it wasn't designed to multi task.

I am not sure, but if you couldnt just plug both ports, it probably means it isnt possible, since there is a single "on" switch...

No. This product does not allow you to connect two devices to a single active network cable / port - you need a hub or switch for that. It simply allows you to send *two* separate wired connections through a *single* network cable. Cat5/6 cables have 8 wires inside them (4 pairs). A normal connection only uses 2 pairs which leaves the other 2 pairs left unconnected - this is just how it is, worldwide. This device (which only works as a *pair* of devices - they will not work as singles) allow you to send two switch port outputs down a single cable, and then split them back out again at the other end. You normally only need to do this (and use this product) in structured wiring situations where you just need 1 extra wired network connection and you dont want to go through the time and expense of running a completely new wire (the wiring might not be easily accessible or the cost maybe prohibitive). Network splitters like this one do not work like power adapters for your 110V/220V supply.

The switch is equivalent of you unplugging the device from one computer and then plugging it into another computer. From other comments I see it even works if you extend the output with a USB hub. I see no reason why this wouldn't work.

I bought one and it malfunctioned. But yes. You can plug in 7 devices and use them all at once or which ever one you need.

You would have to go to the device settings on one device and disconnect it before connecting it to another. There just isn't a simple switch go between two devices. If that's what you want I would recommend the USB version of the Arc touch mouse and a keyboard in conjunction with a KVM switch. That wil allow you to easily switch back and forth between two devices with the same mouse and keyboard.

its an A-B switch. You can connect 2 devices but only one would work at a time.
