When any one of the internal network and the external network is selected by the network selection signal, the transmitting unit 230 may transmit the control signal received from the external electronic device 300 to the selected network. Here, if the network selection signal is an internal network, the control signal may be transmitted through the internal network transmission unit 231 , and if the network selection signal is an external network, the control signal may be transmitted through the external network transmission unit 232 .

The internal network transfer unit 231 and the external network transfer unit 232 may be connected to the signal converters 21 and 22 through an interface such as a UTP cable. Here, the control signal may be changed from a TCP/IP signal to an optical signal through the signal converters 21 and 22 and transmitted to the wavelength division multiplexer (WDM:30).

The WDM 30 may transmit an optical signal corresponding to the received control signal through a wavelength selected according to an internal network or an external network among multi-divided wavelengths. In addition, the WDM 30 may receive data corresponding to the control signal from an internal network or an external network and transmit it to the signal converters 21 and 22 . On the other hand, since the optical signal transmission/reception technique according to the wavelength division multiplexing and demultiplexing of WDM is a known general technique, a detailed description thereof will be omitted below.

The output unit 240 provides the data transmitted from the internal network or the external network according to the control signal to the external electronic device 300 so that it can be displayed through a display device (not shown) connected to the external electronic device 300 . do.

When it is determined that the worker has left, the user monitoring unit 160 may transmit a virtual server session termination request message to the virtual server 20 through the KVM 200 . In this case, the virtual server session termination request message may include the desk ID from which the worker left.

In this case, work information performed before the worker leaves the desk 10 may be matched with the desk ID by the virtual server 20 and stored in the virtual server 20 .

In addition, when the user monitoring unit 160 terminates the virtual server session in response to the virtual server session termination request message from the virtual server 20 , it controls the switching 130 to cut off the power supplied to the main power supply unit 140 . can

As a result, a security function can be provided by automatically connecting or terminating a virtual server session using a desk ID according to whether a worker enters a desk in a smart office environment.
