2. You should check the display mode of the computer to be

no higher than 1600 x 1200 pixel dimension. And refresh

rate to be one that is more commonly used such as 60Hz,

etc.

3. Since the LKV-E132 CAT5 KVM extender supports only

standard 5-key mouse and keyboard, any more

advanced mouse/keyboard function will not be supported

by CAT5 extension.

4. Use good quality UTP cable (max. 100M/330ft). Note that

good quality cable will give better video outcome with

longer distance span.

5. Any cabling distance longer than 100M/330ft will

experience more degradation with longer span. However,

good quality cable can reach out farther away.

6. The choice of layout path for the CAT5 UTP cable should

not only take into account the shortest possible path, but

also one that is relatively farther away from any

significant electromagnetic interference source.

7. Prepare 1 or 2 sets of keyboard, mouse and monitor -

one set for local console 1 and the other set for remote

console.

8. There should be an available power outlet near where

you locate the remote console unit.

Plan the layout path and deploy the UTP cable

Step 1. Plan the path through which the UTP cable will be

deployed across the distance between the LKV-

E132-RX and LKV-E132-TX. You should choose the

layout path not only base on shortest possible length

consideration, but also on least electromagnetic

interference.

Step 2. Lay out the UTP cable according to your planned

path.

Configure the LKV-E132-TX (Computer

Module + Console1)

Step 3. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the CAT5

Extension port of the LKV-E132-TX.

Step 4. Connect the LKV-E132-TX to the computer

(connector f), using the Slim 3-in-1 PS/2 KVM cable

and/or the USB cable (connector g). (Note that if you

need to connect with the USB interface, you should

connect the USB cable to the computer since the

Slim 3-in-1 PS/s2 KVM cable support only the PS/2

interface). The LKV-E132-TX is powered through the

connector interface with the computer.

Step 5. Set up Local Console: Connect a set of keyboard,

mouse and monitor to the LKV-E132-TX Console

connectors (connectors c, d, h).

Step 6. Power on the computer, and check the keyboard,

mouse and video output on Local Console to see if it

works fine. It should work fine before you proceed to

next steps.

Configure the LKV-E132-RX (Remote Console)

Step 7. Connect the other end of the UTP cable to the CAT5

Extension port of the LKV-E132-RX.

Step 8. Connect the power adapter to the LKV-E132-RX to

power it up before connecting any devices to it.

Step 9. Set up the Remote Console: Connect a set of

keyboard, mouse and monitor to the LKV-E132-RX

Console ports (connectors 3, 4, 9).

Step 10. Check the keyboard, mouse and video output on the

Remote Console to see if it works fine. At this time,

the video might be very blurred since it is not yet

adjusted and optimized.

Step 11. Adjust the video gain and equalization level by

turning the two mechanical knobs on the front-panel

of the LKV-E132-TX unit. By conscientiously trials,

you should be able to reach an optimized video

display output on the Remote Console monitor.

For KVM Switch Console Extension: You can also use the

CAT5 KVM Extender to extend your KVM Switch console ¡ K.

Just connect the transmitter unit (LKV-E132-TX) to the

console port of the KVM Switch, and the rest of the

connection is just like what has been described above. Thus,

you can also extend the KVM switch console up to 100M

away.

Co n figuratio n Ho tke ys

The LKV-E132 CAT5 KVM Extender Set provides

configuration hotkeys that can help you configure either the

local console or the remote console for access control, view

only mode as well as hotkey preceding sequence selection.

There are hotkeys that are operable only on local console (on

the LKV-E132-TX unit) as well as hotkey that are likewise

operable on both local console and remote console. With

these hotkeys, users can either block or grant access from

the remote console, or toggle on/off the view-only mode on

the remote console. For someone who does need to use

different hotkey preceding sequence, it also provides 5

alternatives for choice. Thus, the Local Console (i.e. the TX

unit) will have permanent access of the computer without

limitation; the Remote Console can be enabled with full

access or view-only access, or access disabled entirely.
