KEYBOARD-TO-CPU TRANSLATION
The NTI NODEMUX enables the mixture of otherwise incompatible devices and CPUs to control each other. It accomplishes this
by performing keyboard-to-CPU translations automatically (i.e. connect a SUN keyboard and mouse to a PS/2 type CPU). The
chart below shows the key commands that will be recognized and translated for the different types of CPUs. Following the chart
below, find the character desired to type or function to be performed, then follow the row across for the key or series of keys to
press on the keyboard currently in use.

Keyboard Replacement
If the keyboard is being replaced with one from the SAME PLATFORM, it can be hot-swapped without powering-down.
To change the keyboard configuration from one platform to another, simply unplug the old keyboard, plug in the new keyboard,
and power cycle the NODEMUX once.
