Supplied cables
A set of cables is supplied with the VNC 200 to accommodate a variety of standard
connection requirements. The VNC 200 is compatible with both digital (DVI) and
analog signals. The unit is provided with the additional cables that you may require.

NOTES:
• Disconnecting and reconnecting PS/2 cables to a computer that is already
switched on may cause loss of mouse and keyboard control or cause the
computer to freeze. It is recommended, therefore, that the connections are made
while the computer is powered down (see “
Power-up procedure ”).
• If you use a monitor cable or adapter other than that provided with the VNC
200 (configured as an encoder), you must ensure that all pins are properly
interconnected, otherwise the computer graphics card or monitor may not
operate correctly.
Network connection
CAUTION: Do not proceed with connecting the VNC 200 to an existing network
until it is correctly configured using the procedure in “ Network
Communications Setup .” Incorrect connection or configuration may
cause disruption to other network users.
Typically, the VNC 200 will connect to a convenient network point on an existing in-
house network. Use a standard CAT 5E, CAT 6, or better patch cable for this purpose.
A patch cable is not supplied with the VNC 200, but it is available in a variety of
lengths.
If a convenient network connection point is not available, it will be necessary to have
one installed. Consult your IT or network administrator for advice. Alternatively, the
VNC 200 and source computer can share a connection by using a network switch.
