AC247A

PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse

Emulation Device

Once you plug a PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Emulation Device (our product

code AC247A) into an IBM

PS/2

compatible computer, the emulation device

mimics the responses of a keyboard and PS/2 mouse. When you power up the

PC, it will boot and operate successfully without a keyboard or mouse attached.

Plug a keyboard and mouse into the emulation device when you need to

control the computer; the device will pass the data through to the computer.

This adds a measure of security to your system, making accidental use of the

computer impossible and purposeful misuse more difficult.

To install the Keyboard and Mouse Emulation Device, take these steps,

referring to the figure on the reverse:

1. Make sure the computer is turned off and unplugged, and that nothing is

attached to its keyboard or mouse ports. (The monitor’s video cable

should be attached to the computer’s video port.)

2. There are two short cables with 6-pin mini-DIN male connectors attached

to the emulation device. Plug the cable labeled with the keyboard symbol

(color-coded PC99 purple) into the computer’s 6-pin mini-DIN female

keyboard port. Note that if you only need to emulate the mouse, the

device gets its power from the keyboard interface, not the mouse interface,

so you still must make this keyboard connection.

3. Plug the device cable labeled with the mouse symbol (color-coded PC99

green) into the computer’s 6-pin mini-DIN female PS/2 mouse port.
