How do you switch between ports? The photos don't seem to show any buttons or selector switches

This is a splitter, not a switcher. See the description -- 1 in, 8 outs. Multiplies your signal to other outputs. A good example of a use for this would be in a Walmart (with all of the TVs displaying the same content) or for TVs inside a health club, coffee shop, etc. which need to share the same output. -Ki Salem Beats

look to see if there is a button on back says 'mdi - mdx' this tells the switch that it should look for a cross over connection 'mdx' then when you put in router cable it should work for the other ports

I was unable to tell which port was associated with each button. The buttons are numbered, but the ports are not. The documentation doesn't show this and each light illuminates more then one port. I have a simple USB powered light that I used to create a key.

There is the ability, without software, to switch to the next port in line using the numlock key or the scroll lock key. This only moves to the next port in line eg, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-1. If you install the software you can switch to any port with a hoy key, but it has to be installed on all the computers you want to use this feature.

Dear Jason,Both ports are under the top of the printer. There are two, 3-inch hand-holds on the sides.Lift the top using these hand-holds and you will see the ports, in the front, about 6 inches from the leftI have my printer connected to a wireless router with the 1394 Ethernet cable and connected directly to my desktop with a USB cable.I hope this helps.V/R,Howard HeltonEnterprise, AL 36330

The buttons and port light up blue when turned on. If the port is not on, the button nor the port light up.

It has a port forwarding configuration, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I haven't tried all that hard, though.

You need to use a power adapter. Several of the ports no longer function (side note).

clean out the ports on both ends [compressed air] and try a different cable or try reversing the cable end for end...

No. Don't waste your money. Only one port worked for me but since it wasn't greatly expensive I didn't ask for a refund.

Switch, two sets of usb plugs, some vga plugs or something, and the small button to change the output.

Did you do a complete reset? There is a small hole that you can stick a pin in to reset. That would be the only thing that I would know of. Have you tried plugging into port to see if hard wiring works?

Just plug your LAN connection into any of the ports. It makes no difference where any of the connections go. The switch will automatically sense the connections.

Connect it to both usb ports and then push the ps button in the middle. If that doesn't work then push the other two buttons. If that doesn't work then you have a faulty controller and you should send it back

I have not tried. But before i responded - i just went and brought a USB fan. An tried it this morning at work. An yes the ports work. thank you. The USB i used probably required more power than the ports give out.

Please find pictures of the right and left panel. On back you have power port and usb port. http://postimg.org/gallery/28cxj23nu/

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.
