separate channels. For both variants, a local module attaches to the computer
system and provides connections for the local peripherals while the remote
module is placed up to 200m away and handles the remote peripherals. The
long distance link between the two modules is made by either two (MS2 model)
or four (MS4 model) Category 5, or higher, twisted pair cables.
Special circuitry within the remote module allows you to make adjustments to
the sharpness and brightness settings to suit your own preferences. Additionally,
a Skew adjustment is also provided to counteract the effects of uneven lengths
of twisted pair cables that are used to carry the video signals.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AdderLink X2 Multi Screen extenders. Comprising
two compact modules, these extenders allow you to place multiple video
monitors and serial devices together with a keyboard, mouse and audio
peripherals up to 200 metres from a computer system. In addition, locally
connected video monitors, keyboard, mouse and speakers allow two users to
simultaneously view the outputs of the host system and also take control of
the system, providing it is not being used by the other user. A user relinquishes
control two seconds after their last key press or mouse movement.

two video and serial channels, while the larger MS4 model provides four
