2. You should check the display mode of the computer to be
no higher than 1600 x 1200 pixel dimension. And refresh
rate to be one that is more commonly used such as 60Hz,
etc.
3. Since the LKV-E132 CAT5 KVM extender supports only
standard 5-key mouse and keyboard, any more
advanced mouse/keyboard function will not be supported
by CAT5 extension.
4. Use good quality UTP cable (max. 100M/330ft). Note that
good quality cable will give better video outcome with
longer distance span.
5. Any cabling distance longer than 100M/330ft will
experience more degradation with longer span. However,
good quality cable can reach out farther away.
6. The choice of layout path for the CAT5 UTP cable should
not only take into account the shortest possible path, but
also one that is relatively farther away from any
significant electromagnetic interference source.
7. Prepare 1 or 2 sets of keyboard, mouse and monitor -
one set for local console 1 and the other set for remote
console.
8. There should be an available power outlet near where
you locate the remote console unit.

Plan the layout path and deploy the UTP cable
Step 1.
Plan the path through which the UTP cable will be
deployed across the distance between the LKV-
E132-RX and LKV-E132-TX. You should choose the
layout path not only base on shortest possible length
consideration, but also on least electromagnetic
interference.
Step 2.
Lay out the UTP cable according to your planned
path.
Configure the LKV-E132-TX (Computer
Module
+ Console1)
Step 3.
Connect one end of the UTP cable to the CAT5
Extension port of the LKV-E132-TX.
Step 4.
Connect the LKV-E132-TX to the computer
(connector
f
), using the Slim 3-in-1 PS/2 KVM cable
and/or the USB cable (connector
g
). (Note that if you
need to connect with the USB interface, you should
connect the USB cable to the computer since the
Slim 3-in-1 PS/s2 KVM cable support only the PS/2
interface). The LKV-E132-TX is powered through the
connector interface with the computer.
Step 5.
Set up
Local Console
: Connect a set of keyboard,
mouse and monitor to the LKV-E132-TX Console
connectors (connectors
c, d, h)
.
Step 6.
Power on the computer, and check the keyboard,
mouse and video output on Local Console to see if it
works fine. It should work fine before you proceed to
next steps.
Configure the LKV-E132-RX (Remote Console)
Step 7.
Connect the other end of the UTP cable to the CAT5
Extension port of the LKV-E132-RX.
Step 8.
Connect the power adapter to the LKV-E132-RX to
power it up before connecting any devices to it.
Step 9.
Set up the Remote Console: Connect a set of
keyboard, mouse and monitor to the LKV-E132-RX
Console ports (connectors
3, 4, 9
).
Step 10.
Check the keyboard, mouse and video output on the
Remote Console to see if it works fine. At this time,
the video might be very blurred since it is not yet
adjusted and optimized.
Step 11.
Adjust the video gain and equalization level by
turning the two mechanical knobs on the front-panel
of the LKV-E132-TX unit. By conscientiously trials,
you should be able to reach an optimized video
display output on the Remote Console monitor.
For KVM Switch Console Extension:
You can also use the
CAT5 KVM Extender to extend your KVM Switch console ¡ K.
Just connect the transmitter unit (LKV-E132-TX) to the
console port of the KVM Switch, and the rest of the
connection is just like what has been described above. Thus,
you can also extend the KVM switch console up to 100M
away.
Co n figuratio n Ho tke ys
The LKV-E132 CAT5 KVM Extender Set provides
configuration hotkeys that can help you configure either the
local console or the remote console for access control, view
only mode as well as hotkey preceding sequence selection.
There are hotkeys that are operable only on local console (on
the LKV-E132-TX unit) as well as hotkey that are likewise
operable on both local console and remote console. With
these hotkeys, users can either block or grant access from
the remote console, or toggle on/off the view-only mode on
the remote console. For someone who does need to use
different hotkey preceding sequence, it also provides 5
alternatives for choice. Thus, the Local Console (i.e. the TX
unit) will have permanent access of the computer without
limitation; the Remote Console can be enabled with full
access or view-only access, or access disabled entirely.
