USING THE NTI ST-2U 2-PORT UNIVERSAL KVM SWITCH
Control over the CPUs attached to the NTI ST-2U 2-Port Universal KVM switch is achieved through operation of the ST-2U 2-Port
Universal KVM switch. Once the ST-2U switch is properly connected, the ST-2U switch will enable a connection to be made
between the CPUs attached to its "CPU x" ports and the keyboard, monitor, and mouse attached to the MONITOR and USER
ports. The LEDs on the control panel of the ST-2U switch will illuminate depending on which port (and subsequent associated
CPU) is being connected to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse. The ST-2U switch can be operated by the front control panel or
by keyboard control.
Front Panel Control
Pressing momentarily the “CPU SELECT” button on the front panel will toggle between CPU 1 and CPU 2 and connect the
selected CPU to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Pressing and holding in the "CPU SELECT" button on the front panel for more than 2 seconds will cause the switch to cycle
through all modes of operation: COMMAND, SCAN, BROADCAST, and NORMAL modes. Release the button when the desired
mode has been selected. All three LEDs above the numeric keypad of your keyboard will illuminate to indicate that Command
Mode is enabled. When the LEDs resume their previous state of operation (LEDs illuminated only because CapsLock, NumLock,
and/or ScrollLock are ON), the user is in Normal Mode controlling directly the CPU to which the user is connected through the ST-
2U 2-Port Universal KVM switch.
Keyboard Control
Keyboard control of the ST-2U switch can be achieved through Command Mode. Command Mode is operated by using
keyboard commands as instructed under “Command Mode” on page 8. By pressing <Ctrl> + <`> (accent key), the user can
enter Command Mode. Once in Command Mode, typing a series of commands will cause the ST-2U switch to connect the user
to any one CPU
Command Mode
In order to control the ST-2U switch with the keyboard, Command Mode must be enabled. To enter Command Mode from the
keyboard:
