NTI BRANDNAME AND DESCRIPTON  
INTRODUCTION  
The VOPEX-USBV-2-HUB (VOPEX) is a USB KVM Splitter and 3-Port Hub. It enables the control of one USB enabled CPU  
through two separate USB keyboards, USB mice, and VGA monitors and it enables the connection of 3 additional USB devices  
(other than keyboards or mice). Each user is able to have complete control of a CPU, provided they don't try to access it at the  
same time. While the user access is controlled by four (4) separate modes of operation, both user monitors will show the same  
image at all times. The 3 hub ports (for printer, scanner, camera, etc.) will be connected to the CPU at all times.

OPERATION  
Mode Selection  
The VOPEX comes equipped with four (4) modes of operation. To manually toggle between modes, depress the MODE button  
once each time a mode change is desired. The VOPEX will cycle through the 4 modes of operation, then return to the first mode  
(1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 1). The following table depicts the 4 operations available for operation.

`
When the Command Mode is enabled, all 3 status lights on the keyboard will illuminate and both LEDs on the VOPEX will  
illuminate solid to indicate Command Mode is enabled. See the table below for available functions while in Command Mode.  
NOTE: The user must exit Command Mode in order to use the CPU in the selected mode. To exit Command Mode,  
press ESC on the keyboard. ) The mouse will not operate while in Command Mode.  
NOTE: While in Command Mode, when a proper programming key is pressed and recognized by the switch, the LEDs  
on the keyboard will flash once to indicate acceptance. The user must exit Command Mode (by pressing ESC) to see a  
change take effect in the switch operation.  
NOTE: The VOPEX will automatically exit Command Mode after 10 seconds of inactivity by the user if the user does not  
manually exit Command Mode.  
The following functions exist while in Command Mode:  
Key Combination  
Description of Function  
<X>-<key>-<Y>  
Select a new key sequence to use to enter Command Mode- Replace <key> with the desired key  
to follow <Ctrl> with.  
<L> - <x> - <x>  
<V> - <Enter>  
Select the country code of the keyboard being used with a USB SUN CPU (see Country Codes  
chart on page 6)  
This will print the version of the code in the VOPEX to a text editor window (i.e. Windows Notepad)  
for use when troubleshooting the VOPEX. Note: The text editor should be open prior to entering  
Command Mode.

NTI BRANDNAME AND DESCRIPTON  
Mice and Trackballs with MACs  
The VOPEX can be configured to enable full functionality between mice and trackballs having two or more buttons and a USB  
MAC CPU. By default, the CPU port on the VOPEX is configured for use a WINDOWS or SUN CPU and has no special  
translation for using multi-function mice and trackballs when a MAC CPU is connected. Using the commands in Command Mode  
above, either enable or disable this feature as needed.  
NOTE: Be sure to re-configure port for connection to a WINDOWS or SUN CPU if a MAC CPU is removed and a  
WINDOWS or SUN CPU is then connected.  
International SUN Keyboards  
The VOPEX can recognize international layouts for Sun keyboards. In order to use an international Sun keyboard, follow this  
procedure:  
1. Disconnect the CPU from the VOPEX  
2. Connect the international keyboard to be used to the VOPEX  
3. Power down the VOPEX for at least 3 seconds  
4. Power up the VOPEX  
5. Reconnect the CPU to the VOPEX  
It is also possible to configure the VOPEX to emulate a specific international Sun keyboard regardless of what actual keyboard is  
connected. This is recommended when the CPU needs the layout code (i.e. a SUN CPU) and the keyboard doesn't have an  
explicit layout code (i.e. some Windows keyboards). To do this, manually set the VOPEX to indicate the international keyboard  
identification number to the CPU using the following procedure;  
1. Connect the keyboard to be used to the VOPEX  
2. Power down the VOPEX for at least 3 seconds  
3. Power up the VOPEX  
4. Enter Command Mode (<Ctrl> - <`>)  
5. Type Lxx, where xx is the number from the list below that corresponds to the desired country code  
6. Exit Command Mode  
7. Power down the VOPEX for at least 3 seconds  
8. Power up the VOPEX  
9. Reboot the CPU connected to the VOPEX
