the information provided in the sections above. If any transmission problems are detected, an error message is displayed.
TOUCH SCREEN SUPPORT
(Optional)
The NTI ST-2U-TS 2-PORT UNIVERSAL KVM Switch allows a single touch-screen monitor, and MAC, SUN, or PS/2 mouse
and keyboard to communicate directly with any two PS/2 workstations connected to the switch.
The NTI ST-2U-TS includes serial cable connection ports in addition to the video and keyboard/mouse ports (see Fig. 18).
The Serial ports may be used for the data communications (DATA I/O) from a VGA multi-scan monitor with touch-screen features
if the monitor has touch-screen features. The Keyboard/mouse ports may alternatively be used for the data communications
(DATA I/O) if a keyboard and mouse are used. At least one set of DATA I/O ports must be used, either the Serial ports, the
Keyboard/mouse ports, or both. If a VGA multi-scan monitor with touch-screen features is used, then a keyboard and mouse are
not necessary. If a keyboard and mouse are going to be used, then a standard VGA multi-scan monitor without touch-screen
features can be used. It is also possible to use both the monitor with touch-screen features and a keyboard with mouse.
