Introduction
Advantages and Features
K5EXT300 is a new KVM extender technology that utilizes CAT5 media technology to extend your console
up to 300m/1000ft away. It allows you to locate your server physically far back from the user due to security
or spatial concerns. It is especially useful for setting up a highly flexible computer/user topology over a long
distance, either over an exhibition room, work floor, security room, locked server room, or other mission-
critical scenarios. This advanced KVM extender not only extends your keyboard, monitor and mouse, but
also serial port, audio speakers and microphone on a single CAT 5 UTP cable, with satisfying video quality
and audio output.
K5EXT300 comprises two disparate units -
K5LC
and
K5CMLC
. K5LC is the local console unit, i.e., the
receiver on one end of the UTP cable. K5CMLC is the computer module with local console, i.e. the
transmitter on the other end of the UTP cable. However, K5CMLC also provides a local console, so that
users can also access the computer at the local end, in addition to the remote end on K5LC.
The firmware can be upgraded whenever is needed to enhance compatibility or functionality. For the flash
upgrade procedure, please refer to the
Flash Upgrade Operation Guide
provided with the new version of
firmware upgrade file.
