Terminal port
When there are X-RICC RS232s in the DX system, you can control them through an
RS232 terminal connected to the DX User IP.
Ethernet - Connects the DX User IP to an Ethernet network.
8. Rack mounting the DX User IP
Use the L-shaped brackets and screws provided to mount the DX User IP on a
server rack as illustrated below.

9. Pre-installation guidelines
· Switch off all computers
· Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that
are likely to generate electrical noise
· The maximum distance between each device (computer, KVM switch or second
level DX Central) and the DX Central is 100m/330ft. The maximum distance
between the DX Central and the DX User IP is also 100m/330ft.
10. Mouse synchronization limitations
The following will help ensure proper mouse synchronization between the host and
client computers.
Vendor-specific Mouse drivers
Special vendor-specific Mouse drivers disrupt the synchronization process. Ensure
these are not on the host system.
Accelerated mice
DX User IP does not work with accelerated mice. You must disable mouse
acceleration on all computers connected to the system. This is explained below for
Windows 2000 Pro, 2000 Server, XP and 2003 Server. To disable mouse
acceleration for other Operating Systems, see Appendix D on page 67.
