Abcd Switch Views
An ABCD data switch is an electronic device that enables to connect up to four devices from one PC serial or parallel port on the computer. For instance, if there are three printers- one color laser, one inkjet printer and another monochrome laser and one tape backup drive that need to be shared by one PC then the ABCD box can be used for connection to enable device sharing. A rotary switch is used to make a particular device active at a time for use. Similarly, a data switch can also be used to have up to four computers share the same printer or other device.
An ABCD data switch is a small box that lets you hook up to four devices from one PC serial or parallel port on your computer. For example, if you have both a black-and-white laser printer for regular printing and a color inkjet printer for when you want color, you may want to attach them both to your computer. Perhaps you also have a tape backup drive that needs to be attached. You can connect all of them to the ABCD box which is in turn connected to your PC's parallel port. By turning a rotary switch on the box to the A, B, C, or D (if you have a fourth device attached) position, you can select the device you want to be active. (You will need to tell your operating system the kind of device that's attached whenever you switch.)
