A combination console module is described which enables a console to be used both as a local console for a local KVM switch and as a remote console for a remote network-enabled KVM (IKVM) switch. In a stand-alone configuration, the combination console module includes a control section, an analog-to-digital converter for converting analog video signals from the KVM switch to digital video signals, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for converting digital video signals from the network to analog signals, a video switch for applying either the input video signal form the KVM switch or video signals from the DAC to the console's display, and a network interface device. The keyboard/mouse signals from the console are processed by the control section and transmitted to either the KVM switch or the network. The combination console module can also be implemented by modifying a conventional IKVM switch by adding the DAC.
