4. Operation
4.1 Power and activity indicators
On the front panel of both modules are small recessed indicators which provide confirmation of power and
activity, as follows:
•
Constant red –
power applied, no communication activity.
•
Flickering red -
power applied, mouse or keyboard activity occurring.
•
Slow flashing red –
module is in flash upgrade mode.
Note: Both modules contain internal automatic cut-out fuses to protect against power surges. To reset, remove
power (or, for the LOCAL module, the keyboard connection) from the module for one second and then
reconnect.
General Use
In use, the Extender C5 modules should be transparent - the system and its peripherals should operate exactly
as normal, the only difference being that they are now up to 200 metres apart.
In some installations, you may see some ‘shadows’ to the right of high contrast screen characters. This is
caused by an incorrectly selected video compensation setting. In the majority of cases the automatic video
compensation circuitry will correct such occurrences. However, it may be necessary to manually adjust the video
compensation settings or in extreme cases to install an optional correction module.
(See section 5.7 ‘Video
compensation.’ )
