NTI NODEMUX SERIES UNIVERSAL KVM SWITCH
1
INTRODUCTION
The NTI ST-xU UNIVERSAL KVM switch (NODEMUX) allows the user’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse to directly control any
legacy PC, MAC, or SUN CPU connected to the switch (up to 32 CPUs as a single switch or 152 CPUs when switches are
cascaded). These CPUs can be file servers, network managers, etc. Through the connection made by the NODEMUX, the user
is able to control any one CPU connected to the system. The microprocessor driven circuitry in the NODEMUX allows all CPUs
to boot simultaneously without keyboard error.
NOTE: A VGA multi-scan monitor must be used with this product unless an ST-xU-13W3 has been purchased which will
also work with a multi-scan PC compatible SUN monitor.
