RACK MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
This NTI switch was designed to be directly mounted in a rack and includes a mounting flange to make attachment easy. Install 4 cage nuts (supplied) to the rack in locations that line up with the holes (or slots) in the mounting flange on the NTI switch. Then secure the NTI switch to the rack using four #10-32 x3/4” screws (supplied). Each screw should be of sufficient length to
go completely through the NTI mounting flange, rack frame and fully engage all threads in the captive nut. Be sure to tighten all mounting screws securely.
Do not block power supply vents in the NTI switch chassis (if provided). Be sure to enable adequate airflow in front of and behind the NTI switch.
Attach all cables securely to the switch and where necessary supply adequate means of strain relief for cables.

2. Connect the user devices to the USB type A female ports labeled with the USB symbol ( ) on the rear of the UNIMUX
switch (see Figure 4 ). Ensure that the monitors and related user devices are connected to ports from the same device port
group.
Note: If there are three (3) USB type A female ports present (models with touch screen support only), then the third USB port is available for connection of a USB cable from a touch screen type monitor. The USB ports are not device specific, so the mouse, keyboard, and USB cable from a touch screen type monitor (or other suppported device) can be connected to any of the available USB ports present.
Note: If device cables are not long enough to reach the UNIMUX switch, they can be extended either 5 or 10 meters using either 1 or 2 NTI USB2-AA-5M Active USB 5 Meter Extensions (see Figure 5)- purchased se parately. Using USB­C5-LC you can extend device cables up to 150 feet. Contact your NTI salesperson for more details by calling (800) 742­8324 (800-RGB-TECH) or (330) 562-7070 or visit our website at http://www.networktechinc.com

RS232 Connection
If RS232 control will be used, connect one end of the CAT5 patch cable (supplied) to the port labeled “RS232” o n the rear of the UNIMUX. Plug the other end of the CAT5 cable into the RJ45-to-DB9 adapter supplied and connect the adapter to the RS232 port on the control terminal. Follow the instruction under “RS232 Control” on page 38 for configuration and use of the RS232 control feature.
Figure 8- Connect cable for RS232 control
CAT5 Connection
If the CAT5 extender option is present, a CAT5 cable up to 300 feet long can be connected between the “USERx” ports that are RJ45 female connectors and an ST-C5USBV-R-300 extender Remote Unit (sold separately). We will use “USER 3” for this example.

Ethernet Connection
If the Telnet Interface (page 44) will be used, an Ethernet connection to the Local Area Network (LAN) must be made using CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors attached. Wiring between connectors should be straight through (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc..) Connect a CAT5 cable between the connector labeled "ETHERNET" and the LAN (see Figure 11).

Remote CPU Access
In order to have access to a User port from anywhere either over a network or through a serial connection via a PSTN, an INTERMUX-KVMUIP can be installed to one of the USERx ports. This will provide user control over any of the CPUs connected to the UNIMUX switch.
Install the INTERMUX-KVMUIP as illustrated below. See manual that accompanies the INTERMUX-KVMUIP for more details.

No-Video Models
Some models of UNIMUX Hi Density USB KVM Switch have been specially designed without support for video. As such, the OSD menu control described in this manual cannot be used. To control the No-Video version of this product, use the following control methods described in the manual:
• front panel control using touch-switches and LEDs (see page 17)
• RS232 control (see page 38)
• Telnet Interface- via command line interface (see page 44)
Note: Ethernet configuration cannot be changed using the OSD menu in the absence of video support. Instead, to change network settings, use the NTI Discovery Tool provided on the CD (page 49). (Default configuration settings can be found on page 31.)
Cables are available from NTI having only the 15HD high density connector at one end and USB Type A male connector at the other end (HDUSB-x-MM where x = 3 or 6 feet).
