Cascade Configuration
Connection
Before connecting a device (a computer or another USB product) to
the master under power, you must turn off the device. Only PS/2 port is
operable for cascade operation, see Figure 7 for details.
Figure 7: Cascade Connection
Note
: The Master must have equal or more ‘PC x’ ports than that of the
slave, i.e., if an 8-port switch is the Master, an 8-port or 4-port
switch can be a Slave, but not a 16-port one. PS/2-only models
can be cascaded with USB-PS/2 universal models.

Sun Keyboard Mapping
The OSD models emulate a Sun’s keyboard and mouse when a
computer is marked with a
Sun
in OSD menu by Function key
F5
. A
Sun keyboard has more keys than a standard PS/2 one. These extra
keys are simulated by tapping the
lower-right
Ctrl
followed by one of
the function keys on a PS/2 keyboard (i.e. combo key). For instance,
tap the
lower-right
Ctrl
key, then tap the function key
F7
to activate
Open
for a Sun computer.
