NTI RACKMUX Console Drawer with UNIMUX Switch

International Sun Keyboards

The UNIMUX can recognize international layouts for Sun keyboards. In order to use an international Sun keyboard, follow this procedure:

1.Power-OFF the CPU from the UNIMUX

2.Connect the international keyboard to be used to the UNIMUX

3.Power-ON the CPU to the UNIMUX

It is also possible to configure the UNIMUX to emulate a specific international Sun keyboard regardless of what actual keyboard is connected. This is recommended when the CPU needs the layout code (i.e. a SUN CPU) and the keyboard doesn't have an explicit layout code (i.e. some Windows keyboards). To do this, manually set the UNIMUX to indicate the international keyboard identification number to the CPU by following the instruction on page 16 for Language Selection.

DDC SUPPORT

(Optional)

DDC information allows the CPU to automatically select the optimal resolution for the monitor by receiving, at power up, information from the monitor concerning its resolution specifications.

When DDC Support is installed, the DDC information is acquired from the monitor by the UNIMUX switch when the UNIMUX is powered-up.The DDC information will be made available at every CPU port.

Note: In order for the CPU to correctly receive the DDC information from the switch at boot-up, the switch must be powered up before all attached CPUs.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM: Keyboard Errors

SOLUTION: Check cable connections on each CPU and the switch.

PROBLEM: No Video

SOLUTION: Check cable connections on each CPU and the switch. Verify that keyboard and video connect from each CPU to matching ports. After reconnecting, CPU may need to be re-booted in order to sense the monitor connection.

RACKMUX-UW15-4USB, RACKMUX-UW15-8USB, RACKMUX-UW17-4USB, RACKMUX-UW17-8USB specifications

Network Technologies has developed a series of innovative products designed to enhance connectivity and functionality for various applications. Among these are the RACKMUX-UW15-4USB, RACKMUX-UW15-8USB, RACKMUX-UW17-4USB, and RACKMUX-UW17-8USB models. These devices serve as high-performance USB extenders and multiplexers suitable for enabling USB peripherals to connect over long distances while maintaining efficiency and integrity.

One of the key features of the RACKMUX series is their ability to extend USB connections up to 300 feet over standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable. This capability is crucial in environments where traditional USB cabling would be impractical, such as in large data centers or remote server farms. The RACKMUX devices support USB 2.0 speeds, allowing for a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbps. This ensures that users can seamlessly connect various USB devices, from keyboards and mice to printers and external drives, without sacrificing performance.

The RACKMUX-UW15 models, available in both 4 and 8 USB port configurations, are designed with a compact form factor ideal for rackmount applications. They provide a straightforward and efficient solution for managing multiple USB connections in a single rack space. The 4USB version is perfect for setups requiring fewer devices, while the 8USB version accommodates more extensive requirements, supporting simultaneous connections with minimal interference.

In contrast, the RACKMUX-UW17 variants offer a broader range of interfaces, allowing users to manage up to 4 or 8 USB connections, which is beneficial when dealing with various devices across different platforms. They are equipped with enhanced power management features, ensuring that each connected device receives the appropriate power it requires to function optimally.

Another important characteristic of the RACKMUX series is their plug-and-play functionality. This facilitates quick and easy installations without the need for complex software configuration or specialized knowledge. Users can simply connect their devices and start utilizing them immediately, thus saving valuable time and resources.

Overall, the RACKMUX-UW15-4USB, RACKMUX-UW15-8USB, RACKMUX-UW17-4USB, and RACKMUX-UW17-8USB models by Network Technologies offer superior performance and versatility. They are designed to meet the growing demands for reliable USB connectivity in modern environments, making them an essential addition to any infrastructure requiring reliable, high-speed USB connections across extended distances.
