NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB DVI KVM SWITCH INTRODUCTION The UNIMUX-DVI-4 4-Port USB DVI KVM switch (UNIMUX) allows access to any four Windows, MAC, or SUN USB CPUs from one USB keyboard and mouse and a DVI video-enabled monitor. Internal microprocessor circuitry allows all USB CPUs to be booted simultaneously without keyboard error. Port selection is accomplished by front panel push buttons or commands typed on the keyboard. Port lights and status LEDs continuously update on the front pa

NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB DVI KVM SWITCH USING THE UNIMUX USB 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 DEVICES 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 two me

NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB DVI 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 proce

NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB DVI KVM SWITCH KEYBOARD FEATURES The keyboard configuration of each CPU is saved in the UNIMUX. For example, if the CPU attached to Port 2 had CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK selected the last time that CPU was accessed, then they will automatically be set when that CPU is accessed again. (See Fig. 9 on page 12 for reference.) Keyboard-To-Computer Translation The UNIMUX enables a mixture of otherwise incompatible peripheral computer components to be connecte
