NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB 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.

Keyboard-To-Computer Translation

(See Fig. 14 on page 18 for reference.)

The UNIMUX enables a mixture of otherwise incompatible peripheral computer components to be connected together. This is accomplished by performing keyboard-to-computer translations automatically (i.e. translate a MAC keyboard and mouse to a Windows type CPU). The chart below shows the capabilities of devices controlling certain CPU types.
