Automated Switching Mechanism

[Qacer]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a device that can automatically switch between multiple RS-232 or Ethernet ports. I have some devices that can supposedly be controlled via a computer. They either have an ethernet or RS-232 port. I only have one RS-232 and one Ethernet port in my laptop.

Any ideas on how to tackle this?

My setup would look like:

laptop -> 3 x RS-232 devices and 2 x Ethernet devices

Thanks!
