CHAPTER 4: Installation and Adjustment
If you’re attaching a ServSwitch family KVM switch, refer to the users’ manual for
your Extender system for descriptions of which switches belong in which category.
As you attach devices to the Remote Unit, here are some things you’ll want to
keep in mind:
•
Use caution if you are attaching KVM switches:
Different ServSwitch family KVM
switches use different proprietary signaling between cascaded switch units. The
only ServSwitch family switch models whose cascade signals the Extenders can
carry are the models with a regular ServSwitch style DB25 composite interface
(see the list in your Extender system’s manual), so these are the only models
for which you can install an Extender link between two cascaded (master and
submaster) switch units.
Under no circumstances should you ever try to use an Extender to connect
two incompatible ServSwitch units. Having an Extender between them will not
make them compatible.
• Each powered device should be powered OFF when you attach it.
• Make sure you don’t attach your keyboard and mouse, or the keyboard and
mouse strands of any multi-stranded cable, backwards. (Fortunately, the
strands of most multi-stranded cables used with the Extender are fairly easy to
identify: The keyboard strand is usually orange or purple and labeled with a
“K” or a picture of a keyboard, while the mouse strand is usually green and
labeled with an “M” or a picture of a mouse.)
• The 3.5-mm stereo “audio in” and “audio out” connectors on the various
Remotes will be labeled differently, but “audio in” will always be associated
with the word “In” and “audio out” will always be associated with the word
“Out.”
• If you run audio cables to and from a KVM/Serial/Audio model, make sure to
run from the “audio out” connector on the device to the “audio in” connector
on the Extender Remote, and from “audio in” or “microphone” on the device
to “audio out” on the Extender Remote.
