You’ll be plugging the monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly into the
corresponding user-port connectors on the Remote or Dual-Access Local Hub. If
your touchscreen or other serial device is made to plug directly into a CPU, it will
plug directly into the same user port’s serial connector on the KVM/Serial or
KVM/Serial/Audio Remote; if not, you’ll need a serial cable to attach the device:
• If the serial device is DCE and has a DB25 female connector, use a DB9 female
to DB25 male modem cable such as product code EVMBMC.
• If the serial device is DTE and has a DB25 female connector, use a DB9 female
to DB25 male null-modem cable such EVMBPC.
• If the serial device is DTE and has a DB25 male connector, use a DB9 female
to DB25 female null-modem cable such as BC01900.
• If the serial device is DTE and has a DB9 male connector, use a DB9 female to
DB9 female null-modem cable such as EYN257H.
NOTE
KVM/Serial/Audio Extender systems only:
Because the KVM/Serial/
Audio Extender transparently passes through RTS, CTS, DTR, and DSR,
it is possible to substitute additional TD/RD data pairs (to/from a second
or third serial device) for each pair of these hardware flow-control
signals if you’re using software flow control (or no flow control) instead.
To do this, you’ll need to attach special breakout cables to the
Extender’s serial connectors. Call Black Box Technical Support if you’d
like to do this.
If your audio devices are made to plug directly into a CPU, they’ll plug directly into
the same user port’s audio connectors on the KVM/Serial/Audio Remote; if not,
you’ll need an audio cable such as product code EJ110-0010 to attach the device.
