NTI NODEMUX SERIES UNIVERSAL KVM SWITCH

INTRODUCTION

The NTI ST-xU UNIVERSAL KVM switch (NODEMUX) allows the user’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse to directly control any legacy PC, MAC, or SUN CPU connected to the switch (up to 32 CPUs as a single switch or 152 CPUs when switches are cascaded). These CPUs can be file servers, network managers, etc. Through the connection made by the NODEMUX, the user is able to control any one CPU connected to the system. The microprocessor driven circuitry in the NODEMUX allows all CPUs to boot simultaneously without keyboard error.

NOTE: A VGA multi-scan monitor must be used with this product unless an ST-xU-13W3 has been purchased which will also work with a multi-scan PC compatible SUN monitor.
