NTI XTENDEX KVM EXTENDER
2
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
•
A location should be chosen for the monitor, mouse, and keyboard that also has space to mount the Remote Unit within the
distance provided for by the cables from the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for
the cables required.
•
The CAT5 cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be mounted. Be careful to route the
cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the video signal
(i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, etc.).
NOTE: If CAT5 cable is already installed in the wall and there are RJ45 wall outlets, it will be necessary to obtain male-
to-male straight through connection cables long enough to reach from the wall outlets to the mounting locations of the
Remote and Local Units.
•
A properly grounded, polarized, and preferably surge-protected 120V or 240V electrical outlet (depending on the AC adapter
being used) must be installed close enough to the mounting location of each Unit (the Remote and Local) and monitor to plug
them into.
•
All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the equipment. Extended
lengths of cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that connection. Secure cables as needed to
minimize this.
•
Properly shut down and disconnect the power between the computer CPU and monitor, keyboard, and mouse to be
separated. If other equipment is involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction
manuals for that equipment for proper disconnection and re-connection procedures before proceeding.
Note: CAT5 connection cable used between NTI XTENDEX Series Local and Remote or any XTENDEX Series products
should not be run underground, outdoors or between buildings.
WARNING: Outdoor or underground runs of CAT5 cable could be dangerous and will void the warranty.
