ATEN CV-131 User Manual
The CV-131 is a PS/2‑to‑SUN interface converter that translates PS/2 keyboard, mouse, and video signals to Sun‑compatible signals, allowing a USB‑enabled Sun workstation to be controlled from an IBM‑compatible KVM console. It supports multiple keyboard languages, hotkey configuration, and can be powered directly from the USB bus.
The manual covers hardware components, wiring diagrams, step‑by‑step installation, system requirements, and troubleshooting tips, helping users integrate Sun workstations into existing PS/2 KVM networks or extend them up to 150 m using ATEN console extender products.
