NTI Legacy SUN to USB and PS/2 to USB Adapter

INTRODUCTION

The NTI USB-SUN-R is a legacy SUN to USB adapter designed to enable the connection of a legacy SUN CPU to an NTI USB
KVM switch. It also enables the connection of a USB keyboard and mouse to a legacy SUN CPU, or to an NTI Universal KVM
switch.

The NTI USB-PS2-R is a PS/2 to USB adapter designed to enable the connection of a PS2 CPU to an NTI USB KVM s witch.
The USB-PS2-R also enables the connection of a USB keyboard and mouse to a PS/2 CPU, or to an NTI PS/2 KVM switch.

Features

• Support for USB 1.1 Specification

• Sun extra keys are emulated when using a PS/2 or MAC layout keyboard with the USB-SUN-R

• Adapter is powered by the CPU it is connected to

• USB connection(s) can be hot-plugged to the adapter without effecting the CPU performance

Definitions

Legacy SUN CPU - a SUN CPU that has 8 pin miniDIN connector for keyboard/mouse connection
PS/2 CPU - a CPU that has two 6 pin miniDIN connectors for keyboard and mouse connection

Supported Devices

• NTI USB KVM switches

• USB Sun Keyboard - All foreign USB Sun keyboards are detected and supported

• USB PS/2 Keyboard - Extra keys from Sun keyboard are emulated through sequences of 2 keys

• USB Mac Keyboard - Extra keys from Sun keyboard are emulated through sequences of 2 keys

POWER UP

If the USB-SUN-R or USB-PS2-R has been connected to a CPU, power up the CPU. The CPU will boot up normally whether a
USB keyboard and mouse are attached to the UNIMUX switch or not.

Exception: If a USB Sun foreign keyboard is being used, it must be connected before the CPU is powered up in or der to
communicate the country code to the CPU.

KEY EQUIVALENTS

Using the chart below, find the character needed to be typed on the CPU, then follow the row across for the equivalent on the
keyboard being used. See Fig. 9 on page 9 for reference.
