Connecting Your KVM Extender
Preparing Your Site
Before you can install the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the host computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located
and place them appropriately.
3. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Local unit to the Remote unit’s
location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ45 connector. The cabling should
not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
OR
b) If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling between the Local unit and the Remote unit has been
properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long
enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Local unit to their respective outlets.
The cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
Local Unit Installation
1. Switch off the computer and disconnect any unnecessary devices/peripherals.
2. Using the provided cables, connect the USB cable from the USB type B connector on
the Local unit to an available USB port on the computer system. Connect the DVI-D
cable from the Local unit to the DVI connector on the computer system.
NOTE: If using audio, no separate cables are required, as it will be carried over USB.
3. Connect the UTP cable connection for the Remote unit to the RJ45 connector on the
Local unit. If using premises cabling, connect the opposite end of the patch cable to
the terminated wall outlet.
Installing the Remote Unit
1. Place the Remote Unit near the remote station.
2. Using a DVI-D cable (not included) connect a monitor to the DVI-D connector on the
Remote unit.
3. Connect a USB keyboard and/or mouse to any of the USB Hub ports on the
Remote unit.
4. OPTIONAL: Connect any additional USB peripherals you wish to use to the Remote
unit. An external USB hub (powered) may be connected to the Remote unit, if
additional USB ports are required.
