KEYBOARD FEATURES

The keyboard configuration of each CPU is saved in the NTI UNIMUX-USBV-2 USB KVM switch. 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. 4 on page 9 for reference.)

The NTI UNIMUX-USBV-2 USB KVM switch 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.
