LOCAL
Main connector
for the KVM+A
multi-cable
Stage C – Connections
The naming of the LOCAL and REMOTE modules relate to their
proximity to the computer system. Hence, the LOCAL module connects
directly to the system, while the REMOTE is at the other end of the
twisted pair cable and attaches to the keyboard, mouse, etc.
Connections at the LOCAL module
KVM+A multi-cable connection
Most of the connections between the computer system and the LOCAL
module are made via the supplied multi-cable. This has a single
connection to the module, is 6.5ft (2 meters) in length and splits out to
the keyboard, video, mouse, microphone and speaker ports of the
system.
1 Attach the supplied KVM+A
multi-cable to the 25-way
socket at the end of the
LOCAL module.
2 At the other end
of the KVM+A
cable,
attach the
keyboard,
mouse and
video,
microphone
and speaker
connectors to the appropriate sockets at the rear of the computer
system. On most systems the appropriate ports should be labelled
and color coded in a similar way to the cable connectors:

Serial cable connection
The Wizard Extender set offers the option to attach an RS232 serial
device (such as a touch screen input) via the remote link. The link
supports software or hardware
handshaking up to a maximum
baud rate of 56Kb/s. To make the
serial connection between the
LOCAL module and your
computer system, use the
supplied serial link cable.
1 Attach male connector of
the serial link cable to
the 9 pin port on the
LOCAL module,
labelled
.
2 Connect the other
end of the serial
link cable to the
appropriate serial port of the computer system.
Twisted pair connection
The link between the LOCAL and REMOTE modules is made via
twisted pair cable, specified to Category 5 or higher. Ensure that the
total twisted pair cable length (including patch boxes) does not exceed
650ft (200) meters.
1 Insert the connector from the
twisted pair cable link into the
socket marked ‘TO
REMOTE’.
