DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION Sender Unit The Gefen DVIKVM Extra Long Range Extender contains DIP switches on the bottom of the Sender Unit. Each DIP switch performs a different function. Two DIP switches located on the bottom of the Sender Unit. DIP Switch 1 - Power Management (Default = ON) • OFF - Enable Green Mode Sender and Receiver Units are ON only when the DVI source is active. This is the default position.
DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION Receiver Unit The Gefen DVIKVM Extra Long Range Extender contains four (4) DIP switches on the bottom of the Receiver Unit. Each DIP switch performs a different function. Four DIP switches located on the bottom of the Receiver Unit. DIP Switch 1 - EDID Mode (Default = OFF) • ON - Pass-Through Mode DDC and HPD are passed through. Both the connection status and the full video capabilities of the monitor are used by the source device.
DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION DIP Switch 2 - Hot Plug Detect (Default = OFF)* • ON - HPD Pass-Through HPD follows upstream HPD towards the source. The HPD signal will reflect the connection status between the display device and the source device. If the source or monitor is temporarily disconnected then reconnected, there will be a delay of 20 - 30 seconds before the content is restored to the monitor. • OFF - HPD Always High The HPD signal remains high regardless of the downstream HPD state.
FIRMWARE UPDATE Updating the Firmware 1. Connect an RS-232 cable from the computer to the Sender Unit. 2. Set DIP switch 2 to the ON position. 3. Connect the 5V DC locking power supply to the Sender Unit. 4. Go to the directory where the firmware files are stored. 5. Double-click the .BAT file.
