PLEASE NOTE

: It is necessary to configure a Sun CPU such that the Sleep Mode is not enabled.  If a 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

Keyboard-To-CPU Translation

The NTI ST-2U Universal KVM switch enables the connection of otherwise incompatible peripheral computer components to each other.
This is accomplished by performing keyboard-to-CPU translations automatically (i.e. connect a MAC keyboard and mouse to a PS/2 type
CPU).  The charts below show the key commands that will be recognized and translated for the different types of CPUs.  Following the
charts below, find the desired key character, then follow the row across for the key or series of keys to press to achieve that equivalent
function on the keyboard currently in use.

To emulate the right-button click using an Apple 1-button mouse, hold down the CMND key (            ) while pressing the mouse button.

Keyboard Features

The keyboard configuration of each CPU is saved in the NTI ST-2U 2-Port Universal 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.
