Installation
Setting up the KVM Extender Lite system is simply a matter of plugging in the cables.
1) Switch OFF all monitors and the PC / KVM Switch
2) First connect the local unit -
The local unit is placed near the PC or KVM Switch. Connect your local console to the 3 ports not labelled with the
PC symbol. Plug in the power adaptor and power up the local unit. Then connect the 3 ports labelled with the PC
symbol, to your PC or KVM Switch.
Please note that you have to use the same mouse model in both places, local and remote!
3) Connect the remote unit to your console -
The remote unit is placed near the remote monitor, keyboard and mouse. Connect your local console to the 3 ports
as shown by the small icons.
Plug in the power adaptor and power up the remote unit.
Connect the local and remote unit with up to 150m of CAT5 cable.
Operation
The KVM Extender LITE has some options to adjust the quality of the VGA signal for the remote location.
Due to the fact that different types and lengths of CAT5, 5e or 6 STP/UTP/FTP/PIMF cable have different effects
on the picture quality, you may need to adjust the settings for the VGA GAIN (on the top of the Local Unit) and
switch on the GREEN CALIBRATION (on top of the Remote Unit) to obtain the best picture quality for your setup.
Please note:
1) The quality of the graphics card has a certain influence on obtaining the best picture quality
2) The KVM Extender LITE does not support the maximum resolution at the maximum distance of 150m
The supported resolutions and distances are - 800 x 600 @60Hz up to 150m
1024 x 768 @60Hz up to 100m
1280 x 1024 @60Hz up to 75m
Troubleshooting
If no video picture is shown make sure that all cables are securely plugged into their sockets. If you still can’t see a
picture then try connecting with a short CAT5 patch cable to make sure it is not due to a faulty CAT5 UTP, STP or
FTP cable.
If the video picture is not good enough try to adjust the GAIN settings as mentioned above. If this does solve your
problem, try a higher spec or different CAT5, 5e or 6 cable or reduce the display resolution.
If your mouse or keyboard does not function or operates erratically:
 make sure you use the same mouse models for the local and remote console
 check the correct driver is installed and selected in your PC
 check you have followed the installation process step by step and not changed the order
 The KVM Extender LITE only supports standard PS/2 mice. Special functions of mice with scroll wheels or
more than 3 buttons are not supported. These special mice use proprietary PS/2 bus protocols which can
not be supported
 Note that keyboards with special functions like Multimedia buttons, RF keyboards, etc are NOT supported
