3.5Connection to Rackmount Hub Local Units

Remote units are compatible with CAT5 KVM Extender Local Hubs belonging to the same family:

Remote Units	Compatible Local Rack Hubs

ACUR001A, ACUR002A	ACU1006RA, ACU1006DRA, ACU1012RA

ACURA001A, ACURA002A	ACU1006VRA, ACU1006DVRA

You can use Rack Extender Hubs in a number of ways:

•Individually, connecting a single-head Remote unit to each port (see Figure 8)

•With dual-head Remote units, using adjacent hub ports to transmit the primary video/data and secondary video signals (see Figure 9).

For more complex examples showing the use of Rack Extender Hubs with Remote units in efficient ways, see Appendix A: Example Applications, page 47. Additional video channels do not require the Extender Hub to be of the same family. For example, an ACU1012RA could be efficiently used to transmit multiple secondary video channels to ACURA002A units.

Individual Rack Hub operation is not covered in this guide. Please refer to the documentation supplied with your Rack Hub unit.
