USB-882-KM  MegaMux™, 2 sets USB Keyboard & Mouse to 1 PC  
Connects two workstations, each consisting of one USB keyboard and one USB mouse to one PC. The workstations are not limited to USB keyboards or mice, but can consist of any USB HID device, including bar code scanners and touch screens. Only one of the workstations is active at a time, preventing unwanted input from the other workstation. Either workstation can be the active one. Any input from either workstation selects it and makes it "active". It remains "active" until no further input is detected for a period of 5 seconds. It then relinquishes control, and the whole process starts again.

Description:

The USB-882-KM and USB-882-KM-KS "MegaMux"™ USB Splitters/Multiplexers allow two workstations, each consisting of two USB HID devices, such as keyboard, mouse, bar code scanner, including 2D barcode scanners, to share local access to one PC. Access is limited to one workstation at a time, effectively forming an intelligent USB hub.

The USB-882-KM and USB-882-KM-KS utilize Vetra's patented, unique TruReflekt™ USB device enumeration technology. The devices, such as keyboard, or mouse, or bar code scanner are not just emulated, as in most competitive products, but truly enumerated. This means that all special features that may be present in the devices, are conveyed to the PC, and are available to the user during device operation.

The splitters/multiplexers operate transparently with
all PCs, PC operating systems and applications.

Operation:

On all models only one workstation may access the PC at any given time, effectively making an intelligent USB hub. This prevents unwanted input from the other workstation as might occur from accidental keystrokes, bump to the mouse, touch on screen, or swipe with a scanner. On the non-keyswitch model, workstation selection has two modes.

The first, default, mode monitors both workstations for device input. The first workstation to generate input "seizes" the PC and becomes the "active station". It remains "active" until no further device input is detected for a period of 5 seconds, at which time it relinquishes control of the PC and the whole process starts again.

The second mode provides a lock and release feature, which allows the user of an "active station" to lock the station by making 3 taps on the left Shift key on a keyboard, if present. The other workstation is locked out, giving the "active" station uninterrupted input to the PC. Three taps on the right Shift key will release the "active" station, returning to the default operation mode.

Keyswitch models utilize a two position front panel keyswitch to select the active workstation. The keyswitch can be removed in either position for security purposes.

On all models, any changes to the keyboard status indicators, CAPS, SCROLL, and NUM Lock are shown on the keyboards of both workstations.

The USB-882-KM and USB-882-KM-KS USB splitters/multiplexers are powered by an external power supply, which is supplied with the unit.

For applications requiring rack mounting, an optional 2U height rack mount tray is available (see Accessories ).
