INTRODUCTION
The NTI Sun Switch allows a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse to communicate directly with any Sun workstation connected to
the switch (up to 32 computers with a single switch, depending on the switch model, or 128 computers when cascaded – see
CASCADE section). These computers can be file servers, network managers, etc. The auto-boot circuitry in the NTI Switch
allows all computers to boot simultaneously without keyboard error.
Available Options
1. Switch models are available in 60 or 50 Hz, and 110 or 220V.
2. A hard-wired remote control (RMT) is available. This remote comes
xx
standard with a 25 foot cable (REXT-
), but a cable of up to 250 feet can be ordered.
CABLES
Monitor, keyboard and mouse interface CABLES ARE REQUIRED but not supplied. Before beginning installation, refer to
installation drawing to insure that you have the proper type and number of cables needed.
1. SUCEXT-xx Connects the video port of the computer to the switch (up to 250 feet)
2. SUKINT-xx-MM OR SUKEXT-xx-MM Connects the keyboard port of the computer to the switch
Optional Materials:
1. SUCEXT-xx-MF Extension cable for the monitor. Use if the video cable is permanently attached to the monitor.
2. SUKINT-xx or SUKEXT-xx Extension cable for the keyboard.
3. REXT-xx-SR Extension cable for the optional wired remote and / or cascading units together.
Where:
xx = length of the cable
MM = male-male connector
Cables can be purchase from Network Technologies Inc.
MF = male-female connector
INSTALLAT ION
1. Turn OFF power to all computers that will be connected to the NTI Switch before connecting or disconnecting any cables.
WARNING! Y
OU MAY DAMAGE YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU DO NOT TURN THE POWER
OFF
BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING CABLES
2. If you are cascading units together, configure dip-switches accordingly (see Tables 2-4 on page 4).
3. Connect the monitor to the port labeled MONITOR on the rear of the NTI Switch.
4. Connect the keyboard to the port labeled KEYBD on the rear of the NTI Switch. (The mouse connects to the keyboard.)
5. For each computer:
Connect a cable from the Keyboard port of the computer to a Keyboard port of the NTI switch. Note the port’s number.
Connect a cable from the Video port of the computer to the Video port of the NTI switch with the same port number as the
keyboard. See the illustration below. Make sure the computer is connected to a Keyboard port and a Video port with the
same number. Otherwise, you may be typing commands to one computer, but viewing a different computer on the monitor.
6. Plug the NTI Switch into an AC power outlet.

cable.
9. Turn ON power to the NTI Switch, port 1 should illuminate. If it doesn’t, see TROUBLESHOOTING. The NTI Switch supplies
power to the optional RMT.
10. Turn ON power to any or all computers connected to the NTI Switch.

The dip-switches on the front panel are configurable for several tasks. Switches 1-6 are used for cascading actions (see
CASCADING section) and switches 7 & 8 are for keyboard configuration. These keyboard configuration switches come preconfigured with switch 7 in the “ON” position and switch 8 in the “OFF” position. You should not change these settings as this will
cause your SUN keyboard to not work. Should the positions of switch 7 or 8 get changed, you will need to power down the entire
system (including CPU’s), change the dip-switches back to the required position and then power the system back up. Should you
find the need to replace one SUN keyboard with another one, it can be hot swapped without powering down. Refer to Table 1 and
the following diagram for instructions on proper keyboard dip-switch configuration.

CASCADING
The SUN switch can be expanded to access up to 128 CPU’s by cascading multiple units together. Up to 8 SUN switches can be
connected into another switches CPU ports, as illustrated below. The SUN switch connected to the monitor & keyboard must be
configured as the “MASTER” unit (via dip-switc he s). Any switches connected to the “MASTER” must be configured as “SLAVE”
units. All SUN switches are fully configurable for this expansion method, the only additional hardware required is a set of
keyboard, monitor & RMT extension cables for each “SLAVE UNIT” (see materials).
