7.
Connect the mouse to the appropriate output (the VKM02 connects directly to a PS/2
or serial mouse).
Note: Only one mouse may be connected to either the PS/2 or serial mouse port.
8.
Connect the local computer monitor to the VIDEO output using a standard 15-pin
VGA cable. The VKM02 derives power directly from the computer through the
keyboard port. Therefore, no separate power supply is required. The unit powers up
automatically when the CPU is turned on.
Warning: NEVER connect the VKM02 or the VKM03 to a computer that is already on.
9.
Using a VN531M 15-pin VGA cable (included), connect the CPU’s video output to
the VKM02 video input connector (“TO COMPUTER”). Using the VN576-L6 PS/2
keyboard and mouse cables (included), connect the CPU’s keyboard input port to the
VKM02 keyboard output connector, and CPU’s mouse input port to the VKM02
mouse output port. The VN531M VGA cable and the VN576-L6 PS/2 cables are 6’
long. If your installation requires longer cable runs, a list of available cables and
extensions can be found on page 8 (Optional Accessories - VGA / Keyboard / Mouse
Cables & Extensions).
Note: Mouse cable runs of over 12’ can result in signal problems and are not
recommended.
10.
Complete the installation by turning on the VKM03 Remote Module, computer and
monitor(s).
To avoid possible damage to the unit or the need for re-calibration:
1)
turn on the VKM03 Remote Module FIRST,
2)
turn on the CPU SECOND, and
3)
turn on the monitor(s) / additional pheripheral devices LAST.
11.
Adjust the VGC control located on the back of the VKM03 Remote Module. This
control lets you fine-tune the signal peaking circuitry to compensate for different
cable lengths. The ideal setting for this control will vary depending on the resolution
of the computer video signal and the length of the CAT5 link cable between the
VKM02 and VKM03 modules. Turning the VGC pot clockwise will increase the
cable compensation, while turning it counterclockwise decreases the cable
compensation. Using the IN9333 adjustment tool provided, gently adjust the VGC so
that a good quality image is displayed. Note: The entire rotation range of the VGC
control is just over 180 degrees, so care must be taken not to force or over-rotate the
pot.
The VKM01 requires no special software or dipswitch / jumper settings. Simply connect the
cables, turn it on (in the proper sequence), adjust the cable compensation control and your
system is fully operational.
