Computer port connections to alternative computers
ServSwitch Duo IPC is intended to connect directly to computers that have
separate circular mini-DIN connectors for keyboard and mouse. Not all
computers use such an arrangement, so Black Box can supply converter cables
for use with either Sun
®
computers or
computers that use a USB port for
keyboard and mouse
.
Connections to a Sun
®
computer
Some Sun computers use a single mini-DIN connector for both keyboard and
mouse. The Sun converter cable (part number: EHN429-00xx -
where x is
the length: 06, 16 or 35 feet
) allows Sun computers to be connected to the
ServSwitch Duo IPC.
To connect a Sun computer
1 Ensure that power is disconnected from the ServSwitch Duo IPC and the Sun
computer to be connected.
2 At the end of the converter cable that has three plugs, connect the
keyboard, mouse and video plugs to the three sockets of the chosen
COMPUTER PORT at the rear of the ServSwitch Duo IPC.

Help
* Certain PS/2 keyboards have a
power key which will be mapped
to perform the same function for
a Sun computer.
3 At the other end of the converter cable (with two plugs), connect the video
plug and Sun keyboard/video plug to the relevant sockets on the computer.
When the ServSwitch Duo IPC and Sun computer are switched on, the
ServSwitch Duo IPC will interact with the converter cable and together they
will pass an appropriate keyboard code to the computer.
Keypress equivalents
The table given here provides
equivalent keypresses on
a standard PC (PS/2-style)
keyboard that emulate special
keys found on Sun keyboards.
