USING THE NTI SWITCH 

 
The NTI UNIMUX-DVI-2 can be operated by the CPU SELECT button on the side of the switch or by keyboard control. 
 

CPU Select  

•

Pressing the CPU SELECT button on the UNIMUX will toggle between CPU 1 and CPU 2 which connects the selected CPU 
to the user's keyboard, monitor, and mouse. 

•

Holding down the CPU SELECT button for more than 2 seconds will cause the UNIMUX to cycle through all modes of 
operation: COMMAND, SCAN,  BROADCAST, and NORMAL (see pages 6 and 7 for Command,  Scan, Broadcast, and 
Normal mode sections).   After the first change, modes will continue to change every 2 seconds as long as the CPU SELECT 
button is still pressed in.   The CPUx LEDs will indicate which mode the switch is in (see the table below).  Release the button 
when the desired mode has been selected.   

 
NOTE: On model UNIMUX-DVI-2-NBSC, the CPU SELECT button will only toggle between CPU1 and CPU2.  Command, 
Scan, and Broadcast modes are not available.
