NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB KVM SWITCH USING THE UNIMUX DVI KVM SWITCH Once the UNIMUX is properly connected, the UNIMUX will enable a connection to be made between the CPUs attached to its VIDEO and CPU ports and the monitor and input devices attached to the MONITOR and USB Device ports. The LEDs on the control panel of the UNIMUX will illuminate depending on which port (and corresponding CPU) is being connected to the monitor and input devices. The UNIMUX can be controlled by three m

NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB KVM SWITCH Select Country Code It is possible to configure the UNIMUX to emulate a specific international Sun keyboard regardless of what actual keyboard is connected. This is recommended when the CPU needs the layout code (i.e. a SUN CPU) and the keyboard doesn't have an explicit layout code (i.e. some Windows keyboards). To do this, manually set the UNIMUX to indicate the international keyboard identification number to the CPU using the following procedure;
