AdderLink XD522 Receiver * subject to link cable quality Optional CATx link carries: Hi-Speed USB only Main CATx link carries: Video Keyboard/mouse True USB Emulation Audio RS232 Serial AdderLink XD522 Transmitter AdderLink XD522 is a high performance KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) extender that enables you to locate your critical computing hardware in a secure and temperature controlled environment away from the user work station whilst maintaining t
During low rate mode, the secondary video port is disabled and a total bandwidth of 148.5 MegaPixels per second is made available to the primary video port. This is more than enough to support a single 1080P video display. This diagram indicates how the total bandwidth of the high rate mode can be shared between the two video ports.
(B) Mini-TOSLINK connector (C) Standard analog 3.5mm stereo jack Serial communication support The AdderLink XD522 transmitter and receiver both have serial Options ports which are used for firmware upgrades but are also available during normal use for transferring high speed serial data across the CATx link. This means that you can connect the serial port of the Host computer to the transmitter and any serial device to the receiver.
• The cable screening should be: S/FTP, S/STP or PiMF. Please see Appendix D - Link cable interference protection for details. Low rate mode To achieve 150m (in LR mode), the cable thickness is important: Use 23AWG (or thicker). High rate mode As mentioned above, patch links affect performance. For each additional break/ patch within a run, you will need to reduce the distance given above by roughly 5 meters. For best results, patch cables should be of type CAT 7a and be less than 2 meters in length.

Installation Mounting Note: The units and their power supplies generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40oC. Do not place the products in contact with equipment whose surface temperature exceeds 40oC. The optional brackets (plus four screws), allow the units to be secured within a standard rack slot.
Video connections are made between the host computer and the two DisplayPort sockets on the rear panel of the transmitter unit. To connect the video ports 1 Use the supplied DisplayPort video cable to link DP port 1 on the rear panel of the transmitter unit with the primary video output socket of the host computer. Note: Low/full speed USB devices can also be used on port B; the transfer speed will be automatically reduced. The A ports support USB keyboards and mice only.
To connect digital audio 1 Use either a mini-TOSLINK fibre optic cable (or a full size TOSLINK fibre optic cable plus a mini-TOSLINK adaptor) to connect the Line In socket on the transmitter to the digital Line Out socket of the host computer. TOSLINK cable from host computer plus mini-TOSLINK adaptor From the host computer’s Line In socket 2 If a microphone or other audio input is required (from the AdderLink XD522 receiver back to the host computer), use another 3.
AdderLink XD522 transmitter and receiver units are linked by either one or two CATx cables at a distance of up to 150 meters (492 feet). The type and quality of the CATx cables used are crucial to the mode of operation (please see the section Tips for achieving good quality links). If Hi-Speed USB is not needed at the receiver then a CATx link between the B ports of the units is not necessary.
Power connection 2 Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specific power lead to the socket of the power adaptor. 3 Connect the power lead to a nearby mains supply socket. Note: Both the unit and its power supply generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade.
To connect the video ports 1 Connect the DisplayPort video cable from the primary video display to the DP++ port 1 on the rear panel of the transmitter unit. If an adaptor is being used to convert signals, connect it to the DP++ port 1 and connect the cable from the video display to the output of the adaptor. If an externally powered adaptor is required, you may need to also connect it to one of the USB ports in order to derive its power.
The AdderLink XD522 receiver provides four USB sockets on its front face: The fourth socket is labeled and delivers Hi-Speed USB providing that: • One of the host computer’s USB sockets is connected to the Link B socket on the AdderLink XD522 transmitter and supports USB v2.0, and • The second CATx link (B) is in place.
socket on the From the Line Out socket of your audio device From your speakers or the Line In socket of your audio device 2 Connect the 3.5mm jack from the Line Out socket of your audio device to the Line In socket on the rear panel of the receiver unit. 3 Ensure that the Line In input is selected using the hotkey switch: Once the AdderLink XD522 receiver is powered on, use a USB keyboard attached to one of the A ports and press the key three times in succession.
Third party adaptors (not supplied) are available to convert between the mini-TOSLINK connections used on the AdderLink XD522 units and the more common full size TOSLINK connectors found on many audio/visual devices.

From link port A on the transmitter unit From the serial device From link port B on the transmitter unit (required only for transfer of HiSpeed USB) 2 If Hi-Speed USB is required, connect the CATx link cable from port B (on the front panel) of the transmitter unit to the LINK B port on the rear panel of the receiver unit. To link the units 1 Connect the CATx link cable from port A (on the front panel) of the transmitter unit to the LINK A port on the rear panel of the receiver unit.
Power connection 2 Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specific power lead to the socket of the power adaptor. 3 Connect the power lead to a nearby mains supply socket. Note: Both the unit and its power supply generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade.
Configuration To choose between the Line In and Microphone inputs 1 Using a USB keyboard attached to one of the USB A ports on the AdderLink XD522 receiver, press the key three times in succession. In response, the three keyboard indicators will all flash, once per second.
