INTRODUCTION
The KEEMUX-P2 switch allows one user to access two PS/2 CPUs with only one keyboard, monitor and mouse. Internal autoboot circuitry allows both CPUs to boot simultaneously and error-free without the need for a keyboard, monitor and mouse on
each CPU.
Available Options
• A KEEMUX-P2 can be ordered that supports a hard-wired remote control (RMT-2-ST) for increased user control flexibility.
Add "-RMT" to the part number. (i.e. KEEMUX-P2-RMT) The RMT-2-ST remote (ordered separately) comes standard with
a 6 foot cable but a cable of up to 100 feet can be ordered
• Audio support to enable user to connect stereo speakers to receive audio signals from connected CPUs- add "-AUD" to the
part number (i.e. KEEMUX-P2-AUD)
• RS232 support for alternative control using RS232 connection. Add "-RS" to the part number (i.e. KEEMUX-P2-RS)
• Dual Video option supports CPUs with two video outputs. Add "-DV" to the part number (i.e.KEEMUX-P2-DV)
