NOTE: The AutoView 424 and all attached computers should be powered down before
servicing the unit. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
To connect an extended access PS/2 user station:
1. Plug a standard Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair cable (up to 500
feet) into the RJ-45 style modular jack on the rear of the AutoView 424.
Avocent C5T or Avocent P5T cable is strongly recommended to achieve
best performance and maximum distance. If you use a different Category
5 cable, make sure it is terminated to the EIA (TIA) 568 B standard,
commonly used for 10BaseT Ethernet.
2. Route the Category 5 cable to the location where you intend to place the
secondary monitor, keyboard and mouse.
3. Connect your monitor, keyboard and mouse to the connectors on the
rear of the LongView receiver just as you would connect them to
your computer. Make sure you connect your monitor’s power supply to
appropriate electrical outlets.
NOTE: The connector on the rear of the receiver is not used in any AutoView 424
confi guration. Do not connect anything to this connector.
4. Connect the Category 5 cable to the modular jack on the rear of the receiver.
5. Connect the circular power plug from the wall mount power supply to
the power port on the LongView receiver. Then plug the power supply
into a convenient electrical outlet. Verify that the receiver’s power LED is
now lit.
To connect an extended access Sun user station:
NOTE: This will require a VAK-1 adaptor kit available from Avocent.
1. Plug a standard Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair cable (up to 500
feet) into the RJ-45 style modular jack on the rear of the AutoView 424.
Avocent C5T or Avocent P5T cable is strongly recommended to achieve
best performance and maximum distance. If you use a different Category
5 cable, make sure it is terminated to the EIA (TIA) 568 B standard,
commonly used for 10BaseT Ethernet.
2. Route the Category 5 cable to the location where you intend to place the
secondary monitor, keyboard and mouse.
3. If your monitor uses a 13W3 plug, connect the 15HDD male adaptor to the
port of your LongView receiver and your monitor cable to your VAK-1 video
adaptor. Otherwise, plug your monitor directly into the LongView receiver.
