  • Page 3: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The KEEMUX-USBV-xU USB KVM switch allows access to any Windows, MAC, or SUN USB CPUs from one monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse (up to 32 CPUs as a single switch or 152 CPUs when switches are cascaded). Internal microprocessor circuitry allows all USB CPUs to be booted simultaneously without keyboard error.

    4. CPU Select Switches- push to manually switch to a specific CPU 5. Dipswitches- for configuring cascaded switches 6. Remote In/Out - for attaching interface cables (REXT-SR-xx) between slave switches and the master switch Rear View of KEEMUX-USBV-8U NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED 1275 Danner Drive, Aurora Ohio 44202 330-562-7070 www.nti1.com...

    KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch. Connect the male USB type A connector on the mouse cable to the remaining connector labeled "USB DEVICES" on the rear panel of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch. (See Fig. 2 below.) DEVICES Fig. 2...
  • Page 6: Power Connector

    Group the input device and monitor interface cables from each CPU, making sure that cables from the first CPU are connected to the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch at connectors CPU 1 and VIDEO1. Cables from the second CPU should connect to CPU 2 and VIDEO 2 connectors...etc.
  • Page 7: Limitations

    Limitations • Only USB input device or hub cables can be connected to the NTI KEEMUX-USBV-xU KVM switch at the USB Type A female ports labeled "USB DEVICES". • A USB hub (single or multi-port) can be used provided only USB input devices (except for MAC keyboards) are plugged into it.
  • Page 8: Cascading

    Using a VEXT-xx-MM cable, connect the KEEMUX-USBV-xU slave’s MONITOR port to the master’s VIDEO 1 port. With a USB-AB-xxM, connect one of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU slave’s USB DEVICES port to the master’s CPU 1 port. Repeat step c. and d. for each additional slave, keeping in mind that each slave will connect to the next available master’s port (i.e.
  • Page 9: Front Panel Configuration Switches

    CPUs attached to its VIDEO-x and CPU-x ports and the monitor and input devices attached to the MONITOR and USB DEVICES ports. The LEDs on the control panel of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU KVM switch will illuminate depending on which port (and subsequent associated CPU) is being connected the monitor and input devices.
  • Page 10: Front Panel Control

    Front Panel Control There is a touch-switch and LED on the front panel of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU KVM switch for each CPU the switch will connect the monitor and input devices to. Pressing any touch-switch on the front panel of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU KVM switch will connect the selected CPU to the monitor and input devices.
  • Page 11: Scan Mode

    NOTE: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the next active port. Normal Mode When all of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch mode LEDs are OFF the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected through the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch. No Sun Sleep Mode PLEASE NOTE: It is necessary to configure any Sun CPU such that the Sleep Mode is not enabled.
  • Page 12: User Login Mode

    The administrator , when setting the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch up for the first time, may want to proceed directly to the ADMINISTRATION Mode by typing <Ctrl> + <M> , then <A>, and then <Y>. The factory settings are: • default user name = ADMINISTRATOR •...
  • Page 13: User Name List

    INTRODUCTION The NTI optional On Screen Display (OSD) allows a user to name the CPUs connected to the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch and connect to them using that name from a single keyboard and mouse. The OSD is positioned on the user's monitor, displaying 8 CPU names at a time.
  • Page 14 The list below describes the Command functions available from the keyboard within the OSD mode of control after entering into Command Mode and while the COMMAND LED is illuminated: Function: Keystroke: Select the previous port Select the next port Ctrl Enable/disable Scan Mode Ctrl Enter Edit Mode...
  • Page 15: Scan Mode

    NOTE: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the next active port. Normal Mode When all of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch mode LEDs are OFF the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected through the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch. Edit Mode Edit Mode allows the user to modify the names of the CPUs connected to the switch.
  • Page 16: Search Mode

    Search Mode Search Mode allows the user to enter and maneuver through a list of CPU names. The CPU name best matching the characters typed is selected. The list of CPUs may also be searched for a specific (or similar) name. The following commands are valid when the search option has been invoked from Command Mode.
  • Page 17: Help Mode

    Other Control Options There are other ways to control the NTI KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch, depending upon which options have been purchased with the switch, including an Infrared Control, or RS232 . If either of these options have been purchased with the switch, instructions for that option should have been included with this manual.
  • Page 18: Keyboard Mapping

    Keyboard Mapping The keyboard configuration of each CPU is saved in the NTI KEEMUX-USBV-xU Switch. For example, if the CPU attached to Port 4 had CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK selected the last time that CPU was accessed, then they will automatically be set when Port 4 is accessed again.
  • Page 19: How To Disable Operating Modes

    How To Disable Operating Modes Two operating modes of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch can be disabled if desired. The Command Mode can be disabled which would also disable the Scan Mode, or, the Scan Mode can be separately disabled leaving Command Mode enabled.
  • Page 20 Overhead view of video board on top of digital board. Fig. 11 To avoid further more difficult disassembly, the video board and front panel will be removed from the KEEMUX-USBV-xU as an assembly. 6. Carefully loosen the video board from the standoffs.
  • Page 21 For models KEEMUX-USBV-xUO (with OSD): 1. The KEEMUX-USBV-xUO must be completely disconnected from all computer components. Disconnect the KEEMUX-USBV-xUO from the electrical outlet. 2. Remove the two philips-head screws from the underside of the KEEMUX-USBV-xUO that hold the plastic case together.
  • Page 22: Configuring The Jumper Block

    Scan Mode is still enabled. Fig. 16 Once the desired jumpers are in place, reverse the disassembly process to re-assemble the KEEMUX-USBV-xU (or KEEMUX- USBV-xUO). Be particularly careful about connecting the ribbons back to the headers they were removed from and to fully insert the ribbons to the headers.
