SERVSWITCH™ BRAND FIBER KVM EXTENDERS
5.3 Connecting User Equipment or a KVM Switch to the Remote Module
NOTE FOR ACS236A
Do not plug monitors, switches, etc., into both of the Remote Module’s
video connectors at the same time.
Take these steps to attach your user equipment directly to the Extender’s Remote
Module:
1. Plug the monitor into the Remote Module’s HD15 or 13W3 female video port
(labeled with the picture of a monitor). If you’re using an RGB monitor with
the ACS235A, run an HD15-to-multiple-BNC video-adapter cable between the
Module and the monitor.
2. Plug the keyboard into the 6-pin or 8-pin mini-DIN female keyboard port on
the Remote Module (the port labeled with the picture of a keyboard).
ACS235A: Use a keyboard adapter such as FA211 if the keyboard is a PC/AT
type with a 5-pin DIN connector on its cable.
3. ACS235A: Plug the PS/2 mouse into the 6-pin mini-DIN female mouse port
on the Remote Module (the port labeled with the picture of a mouse). (The
mouse must be PS/2 type.)
ACS236A: Plug the Sun mouse into the mouse port on your keyboard.
4A. ACS235A: To attach an optional parallel printer, run a standard parallel cable
from the printer to the Remote Module’s DB25 female printer port (labeled
with the picture of a printer).
4B. ACS236A: To attach an optional serial device, run a serial cable from the
device to the Remote Module’s DB9 male serial port (pinned as DTE, labeled
“Serial”). This cable should be the same type that you’d use to attach the
device to one of the serial ports on an IBM compatible PC.
Take these steps to attach a KVM switch with separate CPU-side connectors (that is,
one connector for each interface) to the Extender’s Remote Module:
1. Run a video-extension cable from the switch’s CPU-video port to the Remote
Module’s HD15 or 13W3 female video port (labeled with the picture of a
monitor).
2. Run a keyboard-extension cable from the switch’s CPU-keyboard port to the
6-pin or 8-pin mini-DIN female keyboard port on the Remote Module (the
port labeled with the picture of a keyboard). ACS235A: Use a keyboard
adapter such as FA212 if the switch has a PC/AT style 5-pin DIN CPU-
keyboard port.
