The NODEMUX™ SUN PC Multi-platform KVM switch allows one keyboard, monitor and mouse to control up to 32 computers. Dedicated internal microprocessors emulate keyboard and mouse presence to each attached computer 100% of the time so all computers boot error-free.
Compatible with PC, SUN and MAC (with ADB ports) computers, including HP9000, Silicon Graphics and IBM RS6000, SUN Ultra 5 and 10 and any SUN with a VGA or 13W3 video port. Connect a USB SUN or MAC to a switch with USB-SUN or USB-ADB adapters. Control all network computers from one office.	Improve manageability of your computer room-eliminate extra cables, monitors, keyboards and mice. Power down the switch without causing failures on SUN computers. Catch system failures early with Scan Mode. Broadcast keystrokes to all computers for simultaneous shutdown.

Cascade to Add Ports to Your Switch
Cascade 4, 8 or 16-port units from one switch to control up to 152 computers. Cascaded switches use one CPU port and the remote port on the master switch. Connect up to eight slave units to one master unit.	All switches connected to the master unit must have the same number of ports. Control signal is daisy-chained. Use REXT-SR-xx and standard interface cables to connect cascaded switches.
