INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Gefen Inc.’s ex•tend•it USB•241
KVM switcher series. The USB•241 switches your moni-
tor and USB between two computers and is expandable
up to 8 USB•241 units for a total of 16 computers. The
USB•241 switcher is designed to be placed close to the
computers. The USB and Video output of the USB•241
unit can be extended with the ex•tend•it CAT5•2000I USB
product, up to 300 feet away. Alternately, the USB•241
can be switched remotely using the RMT-16 wired remote
control. Video and USB can be extended up to 25 feet
away without the need for an additional amplifier.
The ex•tend•it USB•241 unit can be configured for all types
of monitors and resolutions. Each CPU needs to be con-
figured for the specific monitor size and resolution. For all
new computers from year 2000 and up, the resolution of
the monitors can be adjusted from the control panel of
each computer.
The ex•tend•it USB•241 can be configured for different
modes of switching by setting dip switches on the front
panel. The default model comes with all the switches off.
It allows switching between two CPUs. In order to control
more than two CPUs, the dip switches are set to Master
and an address from 1 to 8 is selected on the selector
switch.
The ex•tend•it USB•241 can be connected together with
other USB•241 units using an expansion cable between
the USB•241 units.
Another useful configuration is for dual monitor switching.
By using two USB•241 units, and a setup for the two units
as Master and Slave configuration, two computers using
two monitors each, can be switched with the USB•241.
