Important information
• For use in dry, oil free indoor environments only.
• Your CCP2U converter contains no user-serviceable parts.
• For connection only to the following standard computer system and KVM switch connectors: PS/2-
style keyboard, PS/2-style mouse and USB ports.
Software upgrades and keyboard emulations
The software within your CCP2U converter can emulate keyboards for various computers without
modication. When used in conjunction with Adder MP-type KVM switches it can support PC,
Apple and Sun systems as standard. When used in conjunction with other Adder or non-Adder
switches, your CCP2U converter supports PC and Apple systems as standard and Sun systems by
means of downloading a Sun driver into the cable.
The Sun driver as well as other specialist keyboard emulators and general software upgrades are
available within the Support section of the Adder Technology website - www.adder.com. Full
instructions for performing an upgrade/keyboard emulation are included with the les from the
website.
Keypress equivalents
The tables below provide equivalent keypresses on a standard PC (PS/2-style) keyboard that emu-
late special keys found on Apple®, Microsoft® or Sun® keyboards.
3 At the other end of the CCP2U
converter, attach the USB connec-
tor to a vacant USB socket on your
computer.
4 Switch on your computer(s) and
KVM switch (if used), and operate
in the usual manner.
Your CCP2U converter emulates
the presence of a keyboard and
mouse (via the USB connector)
to the computer at all times. This
means that when used with a KVM
switch, there will be no delay in
response when switching to this
channel.
