Dual user configuration

You can combine two Adder X-USBPRO (or X-USBPRO-MS2) 
extender sets to create a dual user configuration. Such an 
installation would allow a single computer to be controlled from 
two different positions, with each position receiving the same audio 
visual output and having equal and concurrent control over the 
computer. Arbitration between the two positions is handled by the 
computer’s USB system and so this arrangement is better suited to 
situations where two users would not often require simultaneous 
access.

Both local modules 
require their own 
USB links to the PC

Video and audio crosslinks are 
made from first local module to 
the second local module 

CATx link (up to 300m)

CATx link (up to 300m)

First local module

Most of the connections are similar to the standard configuration. The main 
difference is in the links to the second local module. Use an audio link lead to 
connect the audio out socket of the first local module to the audio in socket of 
the second. Similarly, use a video link lead to connect the video out and video 
in ports. The second local module then requires its own USB link directly to the 
computer. In all other respects follow the standard instructions to connect CATx 
links and all of the remote module connections.
