Cables CrystalView Mini USB Local Unit to CPU cable A HD15M to HD15F cable is used to connect from the Local Unit to a CPUs video port. If Local viewing is needed, connect a monitor to the HD15F video out port on the Local unit. The Serial/Audio models use two male-to-male 3.5mm audio cable and a DB9MF serial cable. These connect directly from the Local unit to the appropriate PC ports.
INSTALLATION Installation Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any installation or configuration of the CrystalView Mini USB. Installation of the CrystalView Mini USB consists of five easy steps. 1. Connect interface cables from the Local unit to a computer 2. Connect the Remote keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, microphone, serial device, and other USB devices to the Remote unit. 3. Set the CATx cable distance dip switches (if needed) 4.
Step 2 - Connect the Remote equipment to the Remote unit. Equipment Connections: 1. Primary monitor & Secondary monitor 2. USB Keyboard and Mouse 3. Serial devices 4. Powered stereo speakers 5. Microphone Figure 4. Remote to KVM (Dual video, serial/audio model) The basic connections between the Remote unit and a KVM station are shown in Figure 4. The secondary video monitor, serial device, speakers, and microphone only apply to the dual video, serial and audio models.
INSTALLATION Step 4 - Connect Local unit to Remote unit with CATx cable Figure 5. Local to Remote unit Connect up to 150’ of CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 cable between the RJ45 connector on the Local unit and the RJ45 connector on the Remote unit. Two cables are required for dual video and/or serial and audio models. Note: CATx cable from RJ45 port #1 carries the primary video, keyboard, and mouse signals. CATx cable from RJ45 port #2 carries the secondary video, serial and audio signals.
OPERATION Operating Instructions Operating your equipment using the CrystalView Mini USB extender is no different than having your equipment connected directly to a computer. The only difference is you can be up to 150 feet away. Applications can be executed, data updated, computer maintenance performed, or anything normally performed locally can now be done remotely. Upon power up, the Local and Remote monitors will display the computer’s video.
Serial Interface - Set Up and Operation No setting up or user adjustments are required for connecting a serial device. The Remote unit’s serial port is wired as DTE - the same as that on a PC. To connect a serial printer or other DTE (rather than DCE) device to the Remote unit, you will need a Null-Modem crossover cable between the Remote unit and the printer. Select Xon/Xoff software flow control on the printer and PC. A serial touch screen may be plugged directly into the Remote unit.
