The LongView Wireless receiver

The LongView Wireless receiver connects directly to your user interface devices (keyboard, video monitor and mouse) and serves as the radio interface device for these components. It receives audio and video data from the server and sends keyboard and mouse data from the user interface devices to the server. The LongView Wireless receiver has five connectors for video, keyboard, mouse and audio peripherals and power. Power is supplied to the transmitter from a universal input 12V DC switching power supply (included).

Compatibility with Peripherals

The LongView Wireless extender is compatible with the following peripherals:

Keyboard - The LongView Wireless extender supports virtually any standard PS/2 keyboard.

Mouse - The LongView Wireless extender supports 2-button and 2-button scroll PS/2 mice.

Video - The LongView Wireless extender supports VGA, SVGA and XGA resolutions up to 60 Hz refresh rate. Both CRT and LCD monitors with standard 15-pin high density connectors are supported.

Audio - Speakers and headphones with 3.5 mm audio plugs are supported on the receiver side of your LongView Wireless extender, provided the transmitter has been connected to the sound card of your PC with the provided audio cable.

Safety Precautions

To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using Avocent products:

If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the server and monitor are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.

To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the following precautions:

Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Avocent product configuration.

Test AC outlets at the server and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.

Use only with grounded outlets at both the transmitter and receiver. When using a backup Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the server and the LongView Wireless transmitter off the supply.

NOTE: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.
