Installing the computer interface modules (XPAL) with a PC
Follow steps 1-5 of the XPAB and XPAC installation instructions on the
previous page and then proceed with the following steps:
6.
Place the LongView Transmitter near the remote computer that you wish
to connect to your XPAL. Connect the Cybex custom cable (marked
CUFC) to the 25-pin INPUT connector on the rear of the Transmitter.
7.
Unplug the peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, micro-
phone and serial device if applicable) from your computer.
8.
Connect the CUFC cable’s 15-pin video connector to the video output
connector on your PC.
9.
Plug the 6-pin connector into the PS/2 Keyboard jack on your PC.
10. If you use the serial mouse connector on the Transmitter’s CUFC cable,
do not connect anything to the Transmitter’s
port. If you use the
PS/2 mouse connector you may extend the serial Com port from the PC
to the user for other devices.
11. Using standard 3.5mm stereo patch cords, connect the
connector on
the rear of the Transmitter to the speaker or line output jack of your
computer and the connector to the microphone input jack of your PC.
12. Plug the circular power plug from the provided wall-mount power
supply into the
jack on the rear of the Transmitter, then plug the
power supply into a convenient electrical outlet. Verify that the
POWER light on the front of the Transmitter is lit.
13. Plug a standard Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair cable (up to 500
feet) into the remote I/O jack on the rear of the Transmitter. Cybex
C5T, Cybex P5T, Belden 1583A or Belden 1585A cable is strongly
recommended to achieve best performance and maximum distance. If
you use a different Category 5 cable, make sure it is terminated to the
EIA (TIA) 568 B standard, commonly used for 10BaseT Ethernet. Do
NOT use a crossover cable. Incorrect termination can damage the
LongView Transmitter.
14. Route the Category 5 cable back to your XPAL and connect it to the
Category 5 jack.
15. Select the XPAL from your XP4000 Series unit. If you are using a
serial mouse enter <CM>SW15=1<Enter>, otherwise enter
<CM>SW15=0<Enter>.
16. Reselect the XPAL and type <CM>SW16=0<Enter>
Follow this procedure for every XPAL in your system.
