Before you can install the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the host computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located
and place them accordingly.

twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Local unit to the LAN switch if
connecting through the network, or to the Remote unit’s location for a point to
point configuration, and that each end is terminated with a RJ45 connector.
OR
b) If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling between the Local unit and the Remote unit has been
properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long
enough to connect both units to their respective outlets.
4. Ensure your corporate LAN will allow the MAC address of your extender system on
the network (indicated on the bottom of the Local and Remote Extenders). Contact
your system administrator for details.
