Dell Monitor Network KVM feature
I have several U3223QE and U2722D monitors - I have the latest version of Dell Display Manger installed on all of them. I have setup clusters between the various computers. Everything appears to be setup correctly as far as I can see. How do I switch back and forth between each computer so I can see the remote screen? I would think it is obvious, but I can't figure it out. My computer has (3) monitors - some of the remote computers have (2), some have (1).

Yes, I understand that - but what does that have to do with network KVM - the computer I am trying to control is not connected to any of the monitors directly. Are you familiar with network KVM? I am trying to control another computer via IP - how do I get the video to appear on my monitors?

"the computer I am trying to control is not connected to any of the monitors directly."
That is not possible through our monitors RJ-45 Ethernet connector.
KVM for Dell monitors is the ability to share peripheral USB devices (mouse, keyboard) connected to monitor to multiple PC connected to the monitor.

I am not using the ethernet ports on the monitors - our own internal network.
Are you saying that the network KVM feature does not support video like every other KVM (keyboard/VIDEO/mouse)??

The only mention of video and KVM is when using two PC to the monitor and setting up PBP/PIP =
Every other mention of KVM has to do with USB peripheral devices connected to the monitor =

Sorry, I guess you are not familiar with this - if you go to Dell Display Manager - you will see there is a KVM feature that you can setup either network or USB - the problem is - is that the documentation is vague regarding the network KVM - I have successfully set it up - but can't access the video on the remote computer (I have three monitors) and the remote computer has one).
