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.
NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB DVI KVM SWITCH DEFINITIONS • A USB device that contains multiple endpoints each representing input devices that cannot be separated USB Composite (i.e. a keyboard with a built-in mouse) Device • A USB device that allows one or more USB input devices to plug in to the USB.

RACKMOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS This NTI switch was designed to be mounted to a rack or to set on a desktop. It includes rackmount ears to make attachment to a rack easy, and rubber feet to be applied to the bottom of the case if it will instead sit on a flat surface.
NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB DVI KVM SWITCH INSTALLATION It is not necessary to turn the CPUs or monitors OFF during this installation. Connect the cable from a DVI multi-scan monitor to the DVI-I connector labeled “MONITOR” on the UNIMUX (See Fig. 3 below.)
Connect the 5VDC AC adapter to the UNIMUX. (See Fig. 5 below.) N T I Connect each CPU to the USB switch using a DVI-IS-xx-MM video cable and USB-AB-xxM input device interface cable – REQUIRED (not supplied). (See Fig. 6 below.) Group the input device and monitor interface cables from each CPU, making sure that cables from the first CPU are connected to the UNIMUX at connectors CPU 1 and VIDEO 1.
NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB DVI KVM SWITCH Power-Up Sequence • The UNIMUX can be powered at any time. • The CPUs can be powered at any time although if a CPU needs a keyboard and/or mouse at power-ON it should be powered after connecting to and powering-ON the UNIMUX.
Front Panel Control There is a touch-switch and LED on the front panel of the UNIMUX for each CPU the switch will connect the monitor and input devices to. Pressing any touch-switch on the front panel of the UNIMUX will connect the corresponding CPU to the monitor and input devices.
Scan Mode When in Scan Mode the switch scans to each port with a CPU powered-ON. (The SCAN LED on the front panel will illuminate and remain ON while in Scan Mode. ) The port with the CPU powered-ON remains active while in use until it becomes idle for the configured dwell time (default time-out period is 5 seconds) before switching to the next powered-ON CPU port.
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.
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.
NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB DVI KVM SWITCH International Sun Keyboards The UNIMUX can recognize international layouts for Sun keyboards. procedure: 1. Power-OFF the CPU from the UNIMUX 2. Connect the international keyboard to be used to the UNIMUX 3. Power-ON the CPU to the UNIMUX It is also possible to configure the UNIMUX to emulate a specific international Sun keyboard regardless of what actual keyboard is connected.
No Video SOLUTION: Check cable connections on each CPU and the switch. Make sure thumbscrews are fully tightened. Verify that keyboard and video connect from each CPU to matching ports. After reconnecting, CPU may need to be re- booted in order to sense the monitor connection.
