Local Unit Installation
To install a Local Unit:
1. It is recommended that the PC and other devices are switched off before
connection.
2. Using the supplied CPU KVM cable(s), connect the keyboard, monitor(s)
and mouse connectors on the computer (or KVM switch) to the
corresponding connectors on the Local Unit as shown in Figure 6 for single
video units, or Figure 7 for dual video units.
Ensure that you attach the keyboard and mouse connectors to the correct
ports. The keyboard connector is purple; the mouse connector is green.
If your PC does not have a PS/2 mouse port, an active serial converter will
be required - Model No: Mdapt (PS/2).
3. If you have a dual access system, connect the keyboard, mouse and monitor
for the local console to the appropriate ports on the Local Unit. The ports
may also be used to feed into a KVM switch.
4. If you have an audio and serial enabled system, connect the audio cables
between the computer and Local Unit as follows:
Computer Local
Unit
Audio Out (green)
Audio In
Audio In/Microphone (pink)
Audio Out
5. If appropriate, connect the supplied serial cable between the serial port on
the computer and the Local Unit.
6. For single video units, connect the CATx cable to the INTERCONNECT
socket on the front of the Local Unit. For dual or quad systems, connect
CATx cables from the Remote Unit to the corresponding
INTERCONNECT ports (1,2,3 & 4) on the Local Unit.
7. Power up the PC.
The Local Unit normally takes power through the PCs keyboard port. In video
only applications, this connection is not used and so an external PSU is
required.
Models SDBX/S2 and SDBX/SA2 have a port for an optional 5V power supply. Models
SDBX/S1, SDBX/D1, SDBX/SA1, and SDBX/DA1 require a 5V PSU with a MiniDIN
connector to be plugged into the extender’s keyboard port.
Please contact Technical Support to obtain a suitable power supply.
NEVER CONNECT THE REMOTE UNIT 9V POWER SUPPLY TO A
LOCAL UNIT: YOU WILL DAMAGE THE EXTENDER SYSTEM.
