5. Local Unit Operation
5.1 Overview
You need to read this section if you have purchased an extender system kit containing both a
Local and Remote Unit.
For more information about serial port operation, see Appendix D: Serial Port Setup and
Operation , page 48.
Keyboard and Mouse Emulation
Local Units have keyboard and mouse emulation. The attached PC operates normally without
requiring a keyboard or mouse to be attached to either the Remote or Local Units (in the case
of a dual access system). You can therefore replace any keyboard or mouse attached to the
extender system without disrupting the operation of the computer.
Power Requirements
Local Units normally take power from the keyboard connection to the computer. For video
only applications, you must apply external power through this port. Use an external 5V PSU
with PS/2 connector (Model: PSU1001E-LOCAL).
