INSTALLATION

 

 

Connection to the Splitter/Multiplexer to the PC must be made while the PC is powered down.

 

 

1. Connect PC to Multiplexer unit:

 

 
(a) Use one of the male/male keyboard extension cables (6-pin DIN) supplied with the system to connect the PC's 
keyboard port to the 6-pin DIN female connector on the back panel of the Multiplexer marked "TO PC KBD". An adapter, 
the VIP-301-5M6F (maybe purchased separately) will be needed for connecting to an AT style PC. Use the second 
male/male 6-pin DIN keyboard extension cable to connect the PC's mouse port to the 6-pin DIN female connector on the 
back panel of the Multiplexer marked "TO PC MSE". 

(b) For KMV models connect the HDD15 male/female video extension cable to the PC’s female video port and the other end 
to the back panel of the Receiver male connector marked “TO PC MON”. For KMV2 models connect the HDD15 male/female 
video extension cables to the PC’s female video ports and the other end to the back panel of the Receiver male connectors 
marked “TO PC MON A” and “TO PC MON B”. 
 

2. Connect Workstations to the Multiplexer:

 

 
a) Use the normal keyboard cable to connect to the back panel of the Multiplexer’s 6-pin DIN female connector marked  
“STA-1 KBD”. An adapter the VIP-301-5F6M (maybe purchased separately) will be needed for connecting an AT keyboard 
to the Multiplexer. Use the normal 6-pin mouse cable to connect to the 6-pin DIN female connector marked "STA-1 MSE" 
on the Multiplexer. 
 
b) For the KMV models connect the VGA monitor to the Multiplexer’s backpanel 15-pin HDD connector marked “STA-1 
MON”. For the KMV2 models connect the VGA monitors to the Receiver’s backpanel 15-pin HDD connectors marked “STA-1 
MON A” and “STA-1 MON B”.
