Overview
An extended local port extends the reach of the local port beyond the
rack the KX II is located, for example to another KVM switch.
This can be achieved by configuring a KX III to work with a Raritan Cat5
Reach DVI transmitter and receiver, which are then connected to a
remote console or other device.
Once connected to the Cat5 Reach DVI, the KX III can be accessed up
500 feet (152 m) away.
Connecting the KX III to the Cat5 Reach DVI by daisy chaining Ethernet
switches extends can extend the KX III's reach up to 3000 feet (914 m).
