SERVSWITCH™ BRAND CAT5 KVM EXTENDER STANDALONE REMOTES
4. Installation and Adjustment
To install your ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 KVM Extender Standalone Remote Unit,
first test-place it (if you want to) as described in
Section 4.1
, then attach devices as
described in
Section 4.2
, then finish your installation as described in
Section 4.3
.
Lastly, adjust the video compensation of any full-size (non-Micro) model as
described in
Section 4.4
.
4.1 Test-Placement (Optional)
Refer to the users’ manual for your Extender system for a full system-installation
procedure, including descriptions of the cables and adapters you’ll need. We
recommend testing your Extender system with a test setup confined to a single
room; that way, if any components are bad, you can find out before you run cable
halfway across your campus. If you want to do this, gather your equipment in your
test site; otherwise, place the Extender’s Remote(s) and Local(s), and the
equipment you’ll be attaching to them, in your desired locations. (If you’d like to
rackmount a full-size [non-Micro] Remote Unit, see
Appendix B
.)
4.2 Attaching Devices
For instructions on making device connections, refer to these subsections:
•
Section 4.2.1
for the special considerations involved in making audio
connections in a KVM/Serial/Audio system.
•
Section 4.2.2
for attaching a CPU to the CPU port on an ACUREMSW
Switching Remote Unit.
•
Section 4.2.3
for attaching a KVM switch to the CPU port on an ACUREMSW
Switching Remote Unit.
•
Section 4.2.4
for attaching a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc., to the user port
on a Remote Unit.
•
Section 4.2.5
for attaching a KVM switch to the user port on a Remote Unit.
To attach a serial device to a KVM/Serial or KVM/Serial/Audio Remote Unit,
follow the instructions in
Section 4.2.4
. Also refer to that section to attach an audio
device to a KVM/Serial/Audio Remote Unit. Because few KVM switches handle
serial communication in a way that’s compatible with the KVM/Serial Extender, we
generally don’t recommend attaching KVM switches to it. (One exception is the
ServSwitch Multi; to attach it to the KVM/Serial or KVM/Serial/Audio Extender,
follow the instructions in
Section 4.2.3
or
4.2.5
.)
