This product will also control a KVM switch, allowing you to manage more than one
computer remotely. In this conguration, 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
conguration. 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 6 for details.
Connecting Your KVM Extender
Preparing Your Site
Before you can install the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the host computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located
and place them appropriately.
3. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Host Unit to the Remote Unit’s
location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ-45 connector. The cabling should
not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
OR
b) If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling between the Host Unit and the Remote Unit has been
properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long
enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit to their respective outlets.
