Trading Floor Switch SUN-PC

1: Product Description

The Trading Floor Switch allows a single keyboard and mouse to control two SUN
and two PS/2-compatible CPUs. Valuable desk space is conserved by using a single
keyboard and mouse to control multiple CPUs. Video signals are not switched by the
Trading Floor Switch so that video information from each CPU may be simultaneously
displayed on separate monitors, preventing the user from missing important data.

Keyboard and mouse emulation is supplied at all times to all attached computers
regardless of switch position. There is no interruption of operation caused by a CPU
detecting the absence of a keyboard. The Trading Floor Switch stores keyboard status
(Caps Lock, Num Lock, etc.) for each CPU and restores the current status each time the
CPU is selected.

Two Models of Trading Floor Switch are described in this manual:

• SUN Trader Switch, PN 300.000.2201 uses a SUN Keyboard (Type 5 or
greater) and Mouse for the User

• PS/2 Trader Switch PN 200.000.2220 uses a PS/2 Mouse and PS/2 Keyboard
for the User.

Both models are similar except for the User’s Keyboard/Mouse connections.
The Trading Floor Switch’s small size makes it easy to locate the unit away from

valuable desktop space. A wired Remote Switch allows users to switch between CPUs
with just the push of a button; the selected CPU is indicated by an LED above the
appropriate button. When the Trading Floor Switch is used with Lightwave
Communications’ Cat 5 Extender, CPUs may be located up to 300 feet away from the
desktop.

Included with each Trading Floor Switch are several pieces of 3M Dual Lock reclosable
fastener to attach the Remote Switch to a desk, wall, or keyboard. Enough material is
included with each unit to provide multiple mounting locations.
