NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB KVM SWITCH
10
To activate Broadcast Mode press <Ctrl> + <B> from the Command Mode menu.
Broadcast Mode enables the user to type characters to more computers simultaneously. From the Change Settings menu (see
page 18) the user can edit the list of ports that receive data in Broadcast Mode. A port doesn’t receive broadcast data if one of the
following conditions is true:
- the port is not in the Broadcast Mode list
- Security Mode is enabled and the user does not have access rights to the port
NOTE: The user must type somewhat slowly when in Broadcast Mode (less than 20 wpm) and cannot use the
<Backspace> key.
When all of the UNIMUX mode LEDs are OFF the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected
through the UNIMUX.
PLEASE NOTE: It is necessary to configure a Sun CPU (most versions) such that the Sleep Mode is not enabled. If the
Sun CPU goes into Sleep Mode either automatically or manually, the user must reboot the Sun CPU in order to resume
use of the Sun CPU.
To disable the Sleep Mode, perform the following steps:
1. Select "Power Manager"
2. Look for "Device Idle Time Before Power Saving Starts"
3. Select "Always ON"
4. Look for "Override Device Idle Time For:"
5. Make sure neither "Monitors" nor "Disks" are selected.
It is 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 using the following procedure;
1. Connect the keyboard to be used to the UNIMUX
2. Enter Command Mode
3. Type Lxx, where xx is the number from the list below that corresponds to the desired country code
4. Exit Command Mode
5. Reboot the CPU connected to the UNIMUX
