 Introduction 

 
Overview 

The hybrid USB and PS/2 KVM switches – NS431H, NS831HD, and 

NS1631HD extend your computer management to either PS/2 and/or 

USB models, or both from a single PS/2 console. With the 

Sync-Emu

TM

 Technology, the advanced NS831HD, and NS1631HD 

are designed to meet the special requirements from USB-ready HP 

Unit systems and Sun servers. Engineered for servers of the highest 

level, the NS831HD, and NS1631HD guarantee flawless switching 

with zero tolerance. 

 

Installation is as easy as connecting USB A-B cables or PS/2 cables in 

between computers and the NewStar switch. Selecting a computer is 

as easy as front panel button pressing or by entering hotkey 

commands. The innovated KVM technology ensures smooth switching 

from one computer to the other and signal conversion from PS/2 to 

USB. No more tangled cables and messy working environment; let the 

NEWSTAR SWITCH switches do the computer switching for you.
