NTI XTENDEX KVM EXTENDER
4
The Remote Unit
1. Position the Remote Unit such that the CAT5 cable, the monitor cable, the keyboard and mouse cable, and the AC
adapter power connector can each reach the Remote Unit comfortably.
2. Connect the monitor cable to the VIDEO port on the back of the Remote Unit.
If a SUN Monitor is being used, depending upon the video connector on the monitor, it may be necessary to apply an NTI
cable adapter 13W3M-15HDF to the monitor and a VEXT-xx-MM cable between the adapter and the Remote Unit. (NTI has
various lengths of the VEXT-xx-MM cables available. Just replace the “xx” in the part number with the length in feet that has been
ordered.)
3. For a PC computer, connect the 1 foot keyboard and mouse cable (VKTINT-1) to the “KB/MOUSE” port on the back
of the Remote Unit. For a SUN computer, the keyboard cable will connect directly to the back of the Remote Unit.
If a SUN computer, skip to step 6.
4. Connect the keyboard end of the VKTINT-1 cable to the keyboard (PC computer only).
5. If this is a PC style computer, then there is also a plug on the keyboard cable for the
mouse. Attach the mouse to it now.
6. Make sure the CAT5 cable has been installed in accordance with the
“Preparation for Installation” instructions on page 2. Connect the CAT5 cable to the
“CAT5” port on the back of the Remote Unit. (If an RJ45 wall outlet is being used, connect the other end of the
extension cable to the RJ45 wall outlet. ) When properly inserted the CAT5 cable end should snap into place.
WARNING: Never connect the ST-C5KVM Extender to an Ethernet card, Ethernet router, hub or switch or
other Ethernet RJ45 connector of an Ethernet device.
Damage to devices connected to the Ethernet may result.
Plug-in and Boot Up
1. Plug the power cord from the monitor(s) into the power outlet.
2. Connect the AC adapter power connectors to the 5VDC port on the back of each of the Remote and Local Units. Make sure
each power connector goes into the port all the way. Plug the AC adapters into power outlets. Flip each power switch to
“ON”. The “Power” LEDs on the Remote Unit and Local Unit should both illuminate, indicating that proper power connections
have been made to the Local and the Remote Units.
3. Turn ON the CPU and Monitor(s). They should each react as if they were directly connected to each other.
Note: A loss of signal (blank screen) may be experienced for an instant during the video quality adjustment process after
powering-up. This may also occur if the CAT5 KVM Extender senses a loss of or weak signal connection in the CAT5
cable.
