INSTALLATION

Connecting the Remote Unit

To install a Remote unit:

1.Connect your monitor, USB and other devices to the Remote unit as shown in Figure 2 (single and dual-head units).

If additional USB hubs are attached to the extender, the maximum extension distance could be reduced (due to the delay imposed by each hub). For each connected hub, you may lose up to 30ft (10m) of extension distance. Note: any USB device to which additional USB peripherals may be attached is a USB hub (e.g. an Apple® USB keyboard).

2.If appropriate, connect audio equipment and serial devices. Connect the audio cables as follows:

See Appendix C: Audio/Serial Ports, page 33 for further information.

3.Connect the Primary CATx cable to the INTERCONNECT (1) socket on the front of the Remote unit. For dual head systems, connect an additional CATx cable to INTERCONNECT (2) (see Figure 3).

4.Connect the 5V power supply to power the unit.
