    Introduction The NTI ST-2U 2-PORT UNIVERSAL KVM Switch allows a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse to communicate directly with any two PC, MAC or SUN CPUs connected to the switch. These CPUs can be file servers, network managers, etc. The microprocessor driven circuitry in the NTI switch allows all CPUs to boot simultaneously without keyboard or mouse error.

    Configure the ST-2U for the keyboard type being used as per Fig. 2 below (SUN, PS/2 or MAC). The dip-switches on the front panel must be configured for the platform of the keyboard / mouse that will be used to operate the ST-2U. This action must be completed prior to powering up the ST-2U.

    CPUs attached to its CPUx and DEVx ports and the keyboard, monitor, and mouse attached to the MONITOR and USER ports. The lights on the control panel of the ST-2U 2-Port Universal KVM switch will illuminate depending on which port (and subsequent associated CPU) is being connected to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

  • Page 9: Command Mode

    Scan Mode Scan Mode is indicated by a flashing CPU port LED on the front panel of the ST-2U. The ST-2U 2-port Universal switch scans to either port with a CPU powered-ON. That port 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 other powered-ON CPU port.

    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 DEV 1 or DEV 2 (see Fig. 15) on the ST-2U-U, then their respective USB ports labeled for DEV1 USB and DEV 2 USB on the ST- 2U-U will become the default active CPU port(s).
