CHAPTER 1: Quick Start Guide
Installing the Extender
To install your Extender system, refer to the illustration below. (A Dual-Access
model is shown; the Single-Access model won’t have the local user station.) Take
these steps:
1. Use the included extension cables to attach the CPU’s video, keyboard,
mouse, serial, and/or audio ports to the Local Unit.
2.
Dual-Access models:
Plug the local keyboard, monitor, and mouse directly into
the Local Unit.
3. Plug the remote keyboard, mouse, monitor, serial device, and/or audio
devices directly into the Remote Unit.
4. Connect the Local and Remote Units with straight-pinned four-pair CAT5
cable.
5. Power the Remote Unit with its included power supply.
For more information about installation, or if you’re attaching any KVM switches
to the Extender, refer to
Chapter 6

Operating the Extender
For the most part, your Extender system should operate automatically and
transparently. Some functions, though, are handled with keyboard commands.
