CHAPTER 3: Installation
3. Installation
Before you install the ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 Extender Delay Line Module,
check the compatibility list in
Appendix B
to make sure that your Delay Line
Module can be used immediately with your KVM or video extender, without
requiring pinning or pairing adjustments to your cables.
To install the Delay Line Module, unplug one end of the main twisted-pair cable
that runs between your extender’s transmitter and receiver units and plug it into
the Module’s RJ-45 connector marked “Interconnect”. Then run the included
patch cable from the Module’s RJ-45 connector marked “Extender” to the RJ-45
connector on the extender unit from which you unplugged the main cable.
You can place the Delay Line Module at either end of the main cable. However,
you will probably find it easier to make adjustments to your video-extension system
if you place the Module next to your extender’s remote unit.
Figure 3-1 shows a typical application with the Module installed in an extender
system.
