Introduction Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com KVM extender. This product allows a computer to control a host system from a remote location at a distance of up to 984 feet (300 meters). For ease of installation, this product uses standard Category 5, 5E, or 6 network cabling that fits easily into almost any existing network infrastructure. For added versatility, the KVM extender supports either PS/2 or USB computer interfaces. Console support is provided using standard USB and VGA connectors.
This product will also control a KVM switch, allowing you to manage more than one computer remotely. In this configuration, you can connect the KVM extender’s Host Unit to the “console” ports on the KVM. You must use the provided power adapters if using this configuration. You should set the Host Unit to Compatibility Mode before connecting it to a KVM that uses the [Ctrl] key as its hotkey sequence; see page 7 for details.
