Figure 3-14. Interconnections required for a dual user configuration

Most of the connections are similar to the standard configuration. The main difference is in the links to the second local module. Use an audio link lead to connect the audio out socket of the first local module to the audio in socket of the second. Similarly, use a video link lead to connect the video out and video in ports. The second local module then requires its own USB link directly to the computer. In all other respects follow the standard instructions to connect CATx links and all of the remote module connec- tions.
