You’ll be plugging the monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly into the
corresponding user-port connectors on the Extender’s Remote Unit. If your serial
device is made to plug directly into a CPU, it will plug directly into the Remote
Unit; if not, you will 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 as 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 BC01900-0100.
• 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
Because the 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 ports. Call Black Box Technical Support if you’d like to
do this.
If your audio device is made to plug directly into a CPU, it will plug directly into
the Remote Unit; if not, you will need an audio cable such as product code EJ110
to attach the device.

To attach a CPU Card installed in a ServSwitch Multi to the user port of an
Extender’s Remote Unit, you’ll need a one-to-many ServSwitch Multi User Cable
with Audio (product code KV2040-R2). To attach a CPU Card to the user port on
an Extender Local Unit (which doesn’t have the serial and audio connectors),
you’ll need a regular ServSwitch Multi User Cable (KV2020-R2).
To attach a User Card installed in a ServSwitch Multi to the CPU port of an
Extender’s Local Unit, you’ll need a one-to-many ServSwitch Multi CPU Cable with
Audio (KV2515),
plus
the extension cables included with the Extender.
