The KEEMUX-P2 switch allows one user to access two PS/2 computers with only one keyboard, monitor and mouse. Internal auto-boot circuitry allows both computers to boot simultaneously and error-free without the need for a keyboard, monitor and mouse on each computer.

M A T E R I A L S

Materials Supplied with this kit:

1.NTI PS/2 KVM Switch

Materials Not Supplied, BUT REQUIRED:

1. A set of 2 cables for each computer being connected to the switch must be used:

PS/2 computer to switch	1.	VEXT-xx-MM (high res) or VINT-xx-MM (low res) for video interface
	2.	(1) VVKINT-xx-MM for keyboard and mouse interface.
		OR
		(2) VKINT-xx-MM for keyboard or mouse interface

M a t e r i a l s N o t S u p p l i e d , B U T M A Y B E R E Q U I R E D :

VKINT-1K-1 Booster Cable for keyboard or mouse interface with Compaq Proliant 2000 and non-Intel

architecture Unix machines with PS/2 ports (such as HP-9000). Two VKINT-1K-1 cables are needed for each applicable computer.

I N S T A L L A T I O N

1.Turn OFF power to all computers that will be connected to the NTI Switch before connecting or disconnecting any cables

WARNING! Y O U M A Y D A M A G E Y O U R C O M P U T E R I F Y O U D O N O T T U R N T H E P O W E R O F F B E F O R E C O N N E C T I N G O R D I S C O N N E C T I N G C A B L E S .

2.Connect PS/2 keyboard to “USER KEYBD” port on rear panel of switch.

3.Connect PS/2 Mouse to “USER MOUSE” port on rear of switch.

4.Connect monitor to “MONITOR” port on rear of switch.

5.Using (1) VVKINT-xx-MM or (2) VKINT-xx-MM or VKEXT-xx-MM cables (required, not supplied), connect keyboard and

mouse ports of PS/2 computer to “CPU-1 KEYBD” and “CPU-1 MOUSE” ports on rear of switch.

N O T E : If installing a Compaq Proliant 2000 or a non-Intel architecture Unix machine with PS/2 ports (such as HP-9000), booster cables may be needed (VKINT - 1K - 1) . If booster cables are used, they must first be directly connected to both the keyboard and mouse CPU ports on the switch.

6.Using VINT-xx - MM or VEXT - xx-MM (required, not supplied), connect video port of PS/2 computer to “CPU-1 VIDEO” port on rear of switch.

7.Repeat steps 5 & 6 for CPU-2.

1.	The KEEMUX-P2 is powered by the computers it is connected to.	1. Power down computers.
2.	Turn on power to monitor.

3. Turn on power to either or both computer(s).

The switch can be operated by the front control panel or by keyboard control.

F r o n t P a n e l C o n t r o l

1.Pressing the touch switch on the front panel will toggle between CPU 1 and CPU 2 and connect the selected computer to the keyboard, monitor and mouse.

2.Holding down the "CPU SELECT" button for more than 2 seconds will cause the switch to cycle through 3 extended modes of operation: SCAN, BROADCAST, and COMMAND (see Keyboard Control, Scan and Broadcast sections). Release the button when the desired mode has been selected.

K e y b o a r d C o n t r o l
To control switch from keyboard, “COMMAND” Mode must be enabled.
To enable "COMMAND" Mode:	“CTRL” + “`” (accent key)
To disable "COMMAND" Mode:	“ESC” or “CTRL” + “`”
To increment port:	"I" or à
To decrement port:	"D" or ß
To select a specific port:	“P01” or “P02”
To enable / disable "BROADCAST" Mode:	"B"
To enable / disable "SCAN" Mode:	"S"
To set the scan dwell time (time in seconds before switching to other port):	" Txxx" (xxx from 002 to 255)

*NOTE: You must exit "COMMAND" Mode in order to type to a computer .
