NTI NODEMUX SERIES UNIVERSAL KVM SWITCH WARNING! If a serial mouse port is being used on a PC to connect a serial CPU to an ST-2U switch, do not use a generic 9D-to-6mD adapter to make connection to the PS/2 cable-- use a VOPEX-IM9D to convert the signal from the serial port to PS/2. -
Page 11: Units With Touch Screen Support (Optional)
Units with touch screen support (optional) 1. Connect the 15HD male connector from a VGA multi-scan monitor to the port labeled MONITOR on the rear of the NTI ST-2U- TS switch. If a touch-screen type monitor is being used, connect the 9D male serial connector from the touch-screen monitor to the port in the USER set labeled SERIAL on the rear of the NTI ST-2U-TS switch. -
Page 12: Power Up/Down
USING THE NTI ST-2U 2-PORT UNIVERSAL KVM SWITCH Control over the CPUs attached to the NTI ST-2U 2-Port Universal KVM switch is achieved through operation of the ST-2U 2-Port Universal KVM switch. Once the ST-2U switch is properly connected, the ST-2U switch will enable a connection to be made between the CPUs attached to its "CPU x"... -
Page 13: Scan Mode
CPU. Normal Mode When only one CPU LED on the ST-2U switch is illuminated the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected through the ST-2U switch. The illuminated CPU LED indicates which CPU the user is connected to. -
Page 14: Usb Cpu Support
The ST-2U-U should have all cables attached before powering up. If no cable is plugged into either of the 8 pin miniDIN CPU ports labeled CPU 1 or CPU 2 (see Fig. 15) on the ST-2U-U, then their respective USB ports labeled for CPU 1 USB and CPU 2 USB on the ST-2U-U will become the default active CPU port(s). -

PS/2 workstations connected to the switch. The NTI ST-2U-TS includes serial cable connection ports in addition to the video and keyboard/mouse ports (see Fig. 18). The Serial ports may be used for the data communications (DATA I/O) from a VGA multi-scan monitor with touch-screen features if the monitor has touch-screen features. -
Page 18: Audio Support
Dual Video support enables CPUs with two video outputs to be connected to the NODEMUX switch and two user monitors to be connected to view both sets of video signals. Figure 20- Connections for video cables on the ST-2U-DV Both monitors must be of the type VGA multi-scan. -
Page 19: Keyboard-To-Cpu Translation
NTI NODEMUX SERIES UNIVERSAL KVM SWITCH KEYBOARD-TO-CPU TRANSLATION The NTI ST-2U Universal KVM switch enables the connection of otherwise incompatible peripheral computer components to each other. This is accomplished by performing keyboard-to-CPU translations automatically (i.e. connect a MAC keyboard and mouse to a PS/2 type CPU). -
