KVM EXTENDER/SHARERS
If you’re going to use the Extender/Sharers in Shared Mode, run an
extension cable from the Host Module to the Local Module connector
labeled “HOST.” Then run the cables from your local monitor,
keyboard, and mouse (or other serial device) to the appropriately
labeled connectors on the Local Module.
NOTE
The Local Module should be placed no farther than 6 feet (1.8 m) from the
Host Module.
With all your cabling finished, you’re ready to start using your
Extender/Sharer equipment.
NOTE
You might need specialty cables for your Extender/Sharer application.
For example, in applications with PS/2 keyboards, you’ll need three PS/2
Keyboard Adapters (FA212). And to extend the distance between your
host and remote modules to 150 feet (45.7 m) for VGA, you’ll need an
extension cable. Refer to
Section 2.4
for a complete list of cables and
adapters, and to Figure 3-1 for an illustration of where they fit in a typical
Extender/Sharer application.
