NTI NODEMUX MULTI-USER UNIVERSAL KVM SWITCH
1
INTRODUCTION
The NTI ST-nXm-U (NODEMUX) is a multi-user / universal KVM switch, (n= number of users, m= number of CPUs). It allows
multiple users, up to 8, each with a keyboard, monitor, and mouse, to communicate directly with any PC or SUN workstation
connected to the switch. A single switch can connect to up to 32 CPUs. These CPUs can be file servers, network managers, etc.
The auto-boot circuitry in the NODEMUX allows all CPUs to boot simultaneously without keyboard and/or mouse error.
Features
¾ Users can work individually or share the same CPU.
¾ Up to n users can work with m CPUs where n and m are the switch size acquired.
¾ Universal input and output ports that interface cables plug into adapt to PC and SUN platform devices.
¾ Power cycle circuit control allows the NTI switch to be powered OFF, then ON, at any time without affecting the attached
CPUs.
¾ Power cycle circuit control allows the attached CPUs to be powered OFF, then ON, at any time without affecting the switch or
other attached CPU.
¾ OSD enabled system with security features optionally enabled on a port by port basis.
¾ A microprocessor is dedicated to each CPU, preventing connected CPUs from locking up.
¾ Each connected CPU can boot without a keyboard or mouse.
¾ Keyboard and mouse interface cable can be hot-plugged during operation.
¾ LCD display on the front panel shows the CPU to which each user is connected.
¾ 10 connection setups can be saved in memory by the user for instant setup recall.
¾ No dip switches or jumpers necessary to configure.
¾ Video formats up to 1900X1200 can be displayed from all platforms. (A VGA multi-scan monitor must be used)
¾ User’s keyboard and mouse can control the switch using the On Screen Display (OSD) of each user’s connections
¾ Names can be assigned to the CPUs
¾ Password security on a PORT enabled basis.
¾ RS-232 control allows control of the switch with one CPU serial port.
¾ Power required is 110 or 220 VAC @ 50-60 Hz at less than 25 watts.
