Question:
Do any of your products switch not only between hard drives but also turn on or off ethernet connections (high speed internet)? I would like to use my computer on the internet, but I cannot afford to have one of my hard drives connected to the internet and exposed to possible viruses.

Answer:
You can easily accomplish what you want by using an IDEX hard drive switch to switch between your two drives and disabling the ethernet port in the settings on second drive. You do not need to physically disconnect the port to be secure.

To disable the port:
- Right click on the “My Network Places” icon and select “Properties”
- Right click on the ethernet adaptor icon and select “Disable”.

You can also add an extra layer of protection by:
- Right click on “My Network Places” and select “Properties”
- Right click on the ethernet adaptor icon an select “Properties”
- Unselect all of the protocols 
   (TCP/IP is the only one you really need – but you might as well turn them all off.).

The remote control feature is primarily for use in a classroom environment, so the only control method that we sell is a manual device. You can see it at http://www.industechnologies.com/master.html. The pinout information (link on same page) is provided so customers can develop their own remote control systems if they prefer. There are numerous off-the-shelf computer control products that could be used for this purpose.
