INTRODUCTION
The NTI Sun Switch allows a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse to communicate directly with any Sun workstation connected to
the switch (up to 32 computers with a single switch, depending on the switch model, or 128 computers when cascaded – see
CASCADE section). These computers can be file servers, network managers, etc. The auto-boot circuitry in the NTI Switch
allows all computers to boot simultaneously without keyboard error.
Available Options
1. Switch models are available in 60 or 50 Hz, and 110 or 220V.
2. A hard-wired remote control (RMT) is available. This remote comes
standard with a 25 foot cable (REXT-
xx), but a cable of up to 250 feet can be ordered.
CABLES
Monitor, keyboard and mouse interface CABLES ARE REQUIRED but not supplied. Before beginning installation, refer to
installation drawing to insure that you have the proper type and number of cables needed.
1. SUCEXT-xx
