Connecting Computers
Prepare the following components or devices before connecting
computers to the MCCAT switch:
 Cat5 UTP cables (one cable per computer)
 Computer Interface Modules (CIMs): MCIM-PS2 or MCIM-USB
(one CIM per computer)
Note: MCIMs are compatible with MCCAT18/116 switches, but
MCUTP cables are NOT. Do NOT use MCUTP cables to connect
computers to MCCAT18/116 switches. For information on MCUTP
cables, see the MCCAT28/216 User Guide, which can be downloaded
from the Raritan website (http://www.raritan.com).
 A standard keyboard
 A standard mouse
 A standard monitor
Note: For better video quality, the use of “Belden” Cat5 UTP cable is
strongly recommended.
1. Make sure the MCCAT switch and all devices are switched OFF,
including the monitor and computer(s) that you want to connect.
2. Connect a PS/2 or USB MCIM to the computer.
If the MCIM is a PS/2 CIM:
 Plug the PS/2 mouse connector of the CIM into the PS/2 mouse
port of the computer.
 Plug the PS/2 keyboard connector of the CIM into the PS/2
keyboard port of the computer.
