INTRODUCTION
The UNIMUX-USBV-2 (formerly referred to as KEEMUX-USBV-2U) USB KVM switch allows one user to access two USB CPUs
with only one USB keyboard, USB mouse, and 15HD VGA monitor. Internal microprocessors allow both CPUs to boot
simultaneously and error-free. Port selection is accomplished by a front panel push button or commands typed on the keyboard.
Types of User Input Devices Supported:
USB keyboard with Windows
®

USB keyboard with SUN layout
USB keyboard with MAC layout with mouse
USB Mouse - (up to 3 buttons)
USB IntelliMouse

NTI USB-Sun Adapter
USB Hub
Microsoft, Logitech, and Kensington mice/trackballs
Types of CPUs Supported:
Any USB CPU supporting USB version 1.0 or above including:
USB WINxx
USB MAC
USB SUN
Limitations
A USB HUB can only be used provided only a USB keyboard and/or USB mouse are connected to its inputs.
NOTE: A Mac USB keyboard already has a hub incorporated and can only be connected to one of the inputs on the
switch, not to the HUB.
The maximum number of input devices connected to a HUB is limited to one keyboard and one mouse. Composite devices
(NTI USB-Sun Adapter) should be counted as two USB devices (one keyboard and one mouse).
The last device type (keyboard/mouse) plugged into the KEEMUX-USBV-2U-USB KVM switch will be the only active device
of that type.
NOTE: Removing the second keyboard (mouse) will not re-activate the first one. To make the first keyboard (mouse)
active, the first keyboard (mouse) should be re-plugged to the KEEMUX-USBV-2U USB KVM switch or HUB.
