You would do this to extend the distance you can run from the KVM switch to a
CPU. (You could also do this to extend the distance you can run between two
cascaded switches, but for this to work, each switch
must
be one of the ServSwitch
family models listed in
Section 4.2.4.B
.)
On the Remote Unit, the user port consists of the HD15 and 6-pin mini-DIN
connectors collectively labeled “USER CONSOLE.” On the the Dual-Access Local
Unit, the user port consists of the HD15 and 6-pin mini-DIN connectors
collectively labeled “LOCAL USER.” Which cable(s) you’ll use to connect the KVM
switch to this port will depend on what type of CPU ports the switch model has, as
detailed in the following three subsections.
4.2.4.A Switches Whose CPU Ports Are a Set of Separate Interfaces
The CPU ports of some ServSwitch family KVM switches are a set of separate
interfaces: Each CPU port consists of separate interfaces/connectors for video,
keyboard, and mouse communication. At the time of this writing, some of the
important ServSwitch family models in this category are:
• ServSwitch™ Duo
• ServSwitch™ Wizard, Wizard LP, Wizard Pro
• Personal ServSwitch™
You can use the extension cabling included with the Extender to attach a CPU port
on one of these switches to the user port on the Remote Unit or Dual-Access/
Switching Local Unit. If you’ll need that cabling to attach a CPU or KVM switch to
the Local Unit’s CPU port, get additional KVM-extension cabling: either one VGA
extension cable (product code EVNPS05-MM) plus two PS/2 extension cables
(EVMPS03-MM) or a single bonded three-to-three KVM-extension cable
(EHN408).
