Cables
Although it’s possible to use standard extender cables to connect the PCs to the
MiniView
TM , for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout we strongly recommend
that you use the high quality custom cables that are provided as part of the package.
Note: The keyboard and mouse cables have PS/2 connectors at each end. If your PC uses a
standard AT style keyboard socket, you will need an AT-PS/2 keyboard adapter in order to plug
the cable into the PC’s keyboard port. If your computer uses a serial mouse, you will need to use
the provided PS/2 to Serial mouse adapter. Be aware, however, that because of the wiring and
pin assignments, attempting to use a PS/2 to Serial mouse adapter other than the one provided
with your MiniView
TM
could provide undesired results.
