This section introduces three scenarios involving KVM switches.
Connect the Cat5 Reach DVI between any KVM switch and its local
console.
Connect the Cat5 Reach DVI between two KVM switches.
Connect the Cat5 Reach DVI between a computer/server and a KVM
switch.
Turn off all devices before making the connections. For detailed

To increase the distance between a KVM switch and its user
console/user station:

transmitter and receiver respectively.
2. Use a Cat5e/6 cable to connect the transmitter and receiver.
3. Connect the transmitter and receiver to an appropriate power source
respectively.
4. Connect the local console ports of the KVM switch to the transmitter.
a. Plug one end of the Raritan-provided DVI cable into the DVI-I IN
port on the transmitter, and the other end into the KVM switch's
video port.
