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 
modification. 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 files 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.
