 from the Administration menu.   The Port Configuration menu can only be 

accessed when the administrator is logged-in.  
The port configuration screen is used to edit the names of ports and to configure ports to be compatible with MAC or non-MAC 
CPUs.   If the port will have a MAC CPU connected, use the mouse to click on the box associated with the port to place a check 
mark in the box.  

Note: If a port is configured as connected to a non-MAC CPU, but is in fact connected to a MAC CPU, the mouse will still 
work as a generic mouse.  No special functions provided by software drivers will be available. 

Note:  MAC mode must be enabled on any CPU ports that are connected to a CPU through an NTI ST-C5USBV extender.
