Limitations

NTI XTENDEX Extenders

•Hot-plugging of devices is supported provided devices were originally connected at power-up.

•In order for two users to share a PS/2 CPU, the user in control must pause for at least 3 seconds before another user can take control. After the 3 second pause, either user can take control of the CPU.

For models with RS232 support:

•The RS232 ports on the Local and Remote Units will support serial devices other than touchscreen monitors as follows:

•	2 simple devices (i.e. mice) connected to each unit, or

•1 complex device (i.e. serial modem, RS232 command port on an NTI switch) connected to either the Remote or Local Unit.

•The RS232 port supports all baud rates up to 57.6K bits per second and the attached CPU must be configured accordingly.

For models with 2-way audio support:

•The audio jacks of the XTENDEX with audio support are compatible with the following standard CPU audio connectors:

•Line out - typically lime green in color

•Speaker out- typically orange in color

•Headphone out- typically located on the CD-ROM

•Microphone in- typically pink in color

•The audio output of the XTENDEX with 2-way audio support is compatible with self-powered stereo speakers.

•When two microphones are connected (one at local and one at remote), only one can be active at a time The user will select the active microphone via either push-button or keyboard command.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

•Locations should be chosen for the monitors, mice, and keyboards that also have space to connect the Remote and Local Units within the distance provided by the cables. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables required.

•The CAT5 cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be connected. Be careful to route the cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the video signal (i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, etc.).

•All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the equipment. Extended lengths of cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that connection. Secure cables as needed to minimize this.

•Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the CPU and monitors to be separated. If other equipment is involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals for that equipment for proper disconnection and re-connection procedures before proceeding.

Note: CAT5 connection cable used between NTI XTENDEX Series Local and Remote or any XTENDEX Series products should not be run underground, outdoors or between buildings.

WARNING: Outdoor or underground runs of CAT5 cable could be dangerous and will void the warranty.
