The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC is now ready for use and will start to operate as soon as one of the attached PCs is powered on. If you are connecting to PCs using cables that are longer than 5 metres or are cascading the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC to another CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC you will need to use the optional power adapter. When using the optional power adapter, ensure that it is connected to the mains and powering the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC before you switch on the connected computers. Failure to switch the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC and computers on in the correct order can lead to the mouse and/or keyboard not being recognised by the computers when they are switched on.
2.4‘Interface powered’ operation without the optional power adapter
The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC draws its power from the connected computers via the keyboard cables. A single keyboard connection is normally sufficient to power the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC provided that the cable is no longer than 5 metres. If more than one computer is connected then the power will be intelligently drawn from all computers. Cables longer than 5 metres may be used provided that the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC is already powered by another connected computer or the optional power adapter. If you are cascading the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC to another CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC then a power adapter must be connected to all CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PCs.
2.5 Configuring your computers
Configure your computers in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse and monitor were all connected directly to your computer. For PCs, the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, and PS/2 mice, so ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.
2.6 Configuring the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC
The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC is supplied pre-configured with factory defaults which are suitable for most applications. There are a number of more advanced options which can be set by the user. These are stored in the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC's EEPROM memory and are retained when the power is disconnected.
