Bit of a strange one.

I have the need to connect a device (plotter in this case) to 3 seperate networks.

Now these networks can not be connected but I need the ability to use the plotter on each network (not at the same time).

A manual switch to choose which network the device would be connected to isnt a problem (maybe even desirable), otherwise what solutions do people know of or could suggest.

Its almost a KVM for a network Im after. Is there such a device?

Cheers peeps.

Could you not just connect it to a 4 port hub, with the 3 networks also connected in? I'm assuming the plotter will have its own IP address (and subnet mask) so would have to be defined the same way for each network, so the hub would just act as a reverse splitter.

Or is the physical connection (as opposed to operational) of the three networks a complete no-no?

You my shaggy friend are a star.

The 4 port hub is a no go, but the manual switcher is just what is required.
