NOTE: The USB ADAPTOR stores these settings in their own internal memory so even if you unplug, power down, or move them to another computer, the settings will not be lost.

The following table illustrates how the W and R settings change key assignments on a PS/2 keyboard.

Cascading the SCOUTutp.

The SCOUTutp can be cascaded by attaching another SCOUTutp to it. A PS/2 Adaptor must be connected to the console port of the unit being attached (the slave unit) and then connecting the PS/2 Adaptor via a UTP cable to the master unit’s computer port.

Each port of the master SCOUTutp can be connected to a slave SCOUTutp unit, enabling a total of 256 computers to be controlled from a single console
