CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PCInstallation and Use
Page 16
The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC is now ready for use and will start to operate
as soon as one of the attached PCs is powered on. If you are connecting to PCs
using cables that are longer than 5 metres or are cascading the CPU Switch Smart
SUN-MAC-PC to another CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC you will need to use the
optional power adapter. When using the optional power adapter, ensure that it is
connected to the mains and powering the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC before
you switch on the connected computers. Failure to switch the CPU Switch Smart
SUN-MAC-PC and computers on in the correct order can lead to the mouse and/or
keyboard not being recognised by the computers when they are switched on.
2.4 ‘Interface powered’ operation without the optional power
adapter
The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC draws its power from the connected
computers via the keyboard cables. A single keyboard connection is normally
sufficient to power the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC provided that the cable is
no longer than 5 metres. If more than one computer is connected then the power will
be intelligently drawn from all computers. Cables longer than 5 metres may be used
provided that the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC is already powered by another
connected computer or the optional power adapter. If you are cascading the CPU
Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC to another CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC then a
power adapter must be connected to all CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PCs.
2.5 Configuring your computers
Configure your computers in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse
and monitor were all connected directly to your computer. For PCs, the CPU Switch
Smart SUN-MAC-PC emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, and PS/2
mice, so ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the
correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.
2.6 Configuring the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC
The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC is supplied pre-configured with factory
defaults which are suitable for most applications. There are a number of more
advanced options which can be set by the user. These are stored in the CPU Switch
Smart SUN-MAC-PC's EEPROM memory and are retained when the power is
disconnected.
