Local / Remote Console Switching
The VoyagerUTP Dual Access version allows you to connect an additional keyboard, monitor, and
mouse to your system through the local unit. The PC may now be operated from either of two
locations, though not simultaneously.
Pressing any key on the keyboard activates a user console; the key press is ignored by the operating
system. The console is now active. The other console cannot operate while the active console is in
use. If the active console’s keyboard or mouse are not used for more than 15 seconds, control is
taken by the first console to send a keyboard or mouse signal.
Private Mode (Dual Access Version Only)
The Private Mode feature will disable the remote keyboard, monitor and mouse. To enter Private
Mode, press Scroll Lock on the local keyboard. The Scroll Lock LED will now light on both local and
remote keyboards. Press Scroll Lock again to re-enable the remote console. Scroll Lock will also re-
initialize the local keyboard and mouse. The local console is active on power up.
When the remote console is powered up, it may take up to 15 seconds to be initialized. This will
result in a blank screen.
Jumper JP1 (normally off) in the Remote Unit can prevent the remote monitor from being blanked
when in private mode. Connect this jumper to prevent screen blanking.
UTP / STP Connection Cable Wiring
The Local-Remote interconnection cable is terminated in RJ45 connectors and should be wired
according to the EIA/TIA 568 (Scheme B preferred) industry standard.
Orientation: Looking into the RJ45 socket on the VoyagerUTP unit, Pin 1 is on the left and Pin 8 on
the right.
