Introduction Introduction The NTI ST-nXm-U-HD (also known as NODEMUX-HD) is a multi-user / Universal Multi-Platform Matrix KVM switch, (n= number of users, m= number of CPUs) with high density construction to require less rack space. It allows multiple users, up to 4, each with a keyboard, monitor, and mouse, to communicate directly with any PS/2 or SUN workstation connected to the switch. A single switch can connect to 16 CPUs or up to 256 CPUs when switches are cascaded. These CPUs can be

Interface cables and adapters are not included and must be purchased separately. A cable for each CPU being connected to the switch: PS/2 CPU to Switch • VMTINT-xx-MM for video, keyboard and mouse interface OR SUN CPU to Switch • SMTINT-xx-MM for video, keyboard and mouse interface • 13W3M-15HDF (adapter for 13W3 to 15HD) • USB-SUN Adapter (adapter for USB SUN CPU) One of the following cables must be used to connect the keyboard/mouse and monitor: PS/2 keyboard/mouse VMTINT-xx OR SUN keyboard/mo

Additional Features • Users can work individually or share the same CPU. • Up to n users can work with m CPUs where n and m are the switch size acquired. • High density (similar to SCSI) input and output ports that interface cables plug into adapt to PS/2 and SUN platform devices. • Power cycle circuit control allows the NTI switch to be powered OFF, then ON, at any time without affecting the attached CPUs. • Power cycle circuit control allows the attached CPUs to be powered OFF, then ON, at any

Installation Installation Turn OFF power to all CPUs that will be connected to the NTI ST-nXm-U-HD switch before connecting or disconnecting any cables. 1. If using RS-232 Control see RS-232 section for more information. 2. Connect the monitors to the 15HD female connector ends of the VMTINT-xx or SMTINT-xx cables, depending upon what type of devices will be connected (PS/2 or SUN). See Fig. 1. 3. Connect the keyboards to the purple 6 miniDIN female connector (PS/2) or orange 8 miniDIN female

Using the ST-nXm-U-HD Switch Using the ST-nXm-U-HD Switch Basic Operation This unit enables any user to access any CPU at any time with no restrictions or limitations. Users can even share a CPU and work on the same project – each from their own console. Resolution is supported through 1900x1200 with no degradation – guaranteed. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on the front panel indicates the port to which the user is attached. The ST-nXm-U-HD can be controlled by three methods, front panel k

OSD Control OSD Control OSD superimposes a menu system on the user’s video screen with a list of all connected CPUs. OSD allows CPUs to be named (with up to 12 character names). OSD then allows selection of CPUs by that name. Connected CPUs can be listed by name or by port number. OSD Search Mode enables the user to type in the first few characters of the CPU's name and the OSD will locate it. HELP screens assist with all OSD functions.
