Operation Manual VKM01 Video / Keyboard / Mouse Extender System: VKM02 - Local Module VKM03 - Remote Module
Installation and Safety Instructions For Models without a Power Switch: The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be accessible. For Models with 110 / 220V Power Selector: Caution: Before applying power to this unit, the voltage selector must be set to the appropriate setting to match local A/C line voltage. Improper setting of the voltage selector may cause damage to the unit and create a potential fire hazard.
Installations und Sicherheitshinweise Für Geräte ohne Netzschalter: Die Netzsteckdose soll in de Nähe des Gerätes installiert und frei zugänglich sein. Für Geräte mit 110 / 220V Spannungswähler: Achtung: Bevor Sie dem Gerät Spann ung zuführen, muß der Spannungswähler entsprechend der Spannung des lokalen Wechselspannungsnetzes eingestellt werden. Die falsche Stellung des Spannungswählers kann eine Beschädigung des Gerätes und möglicherweise ein Feuer verursachen.

1 Product Overview DESCRIPTION The VKM01 is a video / keyboard / mouse extension system for personal computers that makes it possible to control one CPU from two separate locations. The system consists of the VKM02 Local Module and VKM03 Remote Module. The two units are connected by one economical CAT5 cable, allowing the remote module to be located up to 500 feet away.
2 Applications In addition to allowing two users / stations to share the same data from one computer, the VKM01 system is ideal for: • Work environments in which dust, solvents, intense heat and other harsh atmospheric conditions might otherwise damage a system’s CPU (such as in machine shops, warehouses / distribution centers, and fabrication and manufacturing production facilities).
3 Although CAT5 cable significantly reduces signal loss associated with long cable runs, it does have its limits. High-resolution video signals require a higher bandwidth. The higher the signal bandwidth, the shorter the distance it can be transmitted along any cable before it begins to degrade.
4 7. Connect the mouse to the appropriate output (the VKM02 connects directly to a PS/2 or serial mouse). Note: Only one mouse may be connected to either the PS/2 or serial mouse port. 8. Connect the local computer monitor to the VIDEO output using a standard 15-pin VGA cable. The VKM02 derives power directly from the computer through the keyboard port. Therefore, no separate power supply is required. The unit powers up automatically when the CPU is turned on.

6 Operation This section offers step-by-step instructions for operating the VKM01 Video / Keyboard / Mouse Extender System. 1. Turn the VKM03 Remote Module power switch on. The switch is located on the back of the unit between the RJ45 CAT5 LINK and the IN9204-1 power adapter connectors. 2. Turn the CPU and the monitors on. Since the VKM02 Local Module derives power directly from the computer, the unit automatically powers up when the CPU is turned on. 3.

9 Solution 1: Check the LEDs on the front of the unit. If they are off, make sure the power button on the back of the VKM03 is on. If the LEDs do not engage, see Problem 5. Solution 2: Make sure that the keyboard / mouse / VGA cable is securely seated in the proper VKM03 output port. Solution 3: Make sure that the CAT5 cable is securely seated in the CAT5 LINK receptacle at both modules. Solution 4: (Keyboard and mouse only) See Problem 4.
10 Solution 1: Make sure that the IN9204-1 power adapter is securely plugged into the unit and the A/C source. Solution 2: Make sure the A/C source is live. Solution 3: The IN9204-1 power adapter may have failed. It should feel warm to the touch after it has been plugged in for a few minutes. If the adapter feels cool, replace it. If problems persist, call INLINE Technical Services at (800) 882-7117 for further assistance.
