RACKMOUNT SERVSWITCH™ BRAND CAT5 KVM EXTENDER LOCAL HUBS

KVM/Serial/Audio links only:
Does the Extender need to amplify microphone
input from the remote site?
This should not be the case if you are connecting
a PC’s sound card (which can amplify the signal itself) to the local CPU’s
audio jack on the Local Hub. If you are connecting some kind of recorder or
sound-input device that can’t amplify the input signal to that jack, and you’re
using a nonamplified microphone at the remote site, install the jumper on
the jumper posts marked “MIC” on the audio daughterboard for that link
inside the Remote. Refer to
Section 5.6
.

All Dual-Access links
except
those with Micro Remotes:
If you don’t want a given
remote monitor to be blanked in Private Mode, set position 1 of DIP-switch
SW1 in that Remote Unit to ON. If you want to lengthen the inactivity
timeout for automatic local/remote switching to 15 seconds, set position 2 to
OFF. If you want automatic switching to be triggered by mouse activity as well
as keyboard activity, set position 3 to OFF.
To set a Remote Unit’s internal controls (which only needs to be done once),
open it while it’s powered off—taking all reasonable precautions against static
electricity—by unscrewing the four screws on its case and lifting off the top half of
the case. Open a hub in roughly the same way to set its internal controls (which
also only needs to be done once, and only for the Remote Hubs and KVM/Serial
Local Hubs); unscrew the five screws on its lid and remove the lid. For more
information about configuration, refer to
Chapter 5
.
