KEYBOARD FEATURES 

 

The keyboard configuration of each CPU is saved in the NODEMUX switch.  For example, if the CPU attached to Port 2 had 
CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK selected the last time that CPU was accessed, then they will automatically be set when that CPU is 
accessed again.  

 

Keyboard-To-Computer Translation   

 
The NODEMUX switch enables a mixture of otherwise incompatible peripheral computer components to be connected together.  
This is accomplished by performing keyboard-to-computer translations automatically (i.e. translate the Windows keyboard and 
mouse to a SUN type CPU). The chart below shows the capabilities of the keyboard controlling certain CPU types.
