CHAPTER 1: Quick Start Guide

1. Quick Start Guide

When you configure the ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 KVM Micro Extender, you only need to answer two questions:

•How far will the CAT5 cabling run between the Extender’s Local and Remote Units? If it will be 25 m (80 ft.) or less, you don’t need to set anything. If it will be 25 to 50 m (80 to 160 ft.), move DIP-switch position 1 on the bottom of the Remote Unit to the DOWN (ON) setting.

•ACU3001A or ACU3009A: Do you need [Scroll Lock] for anything?

ACU3022A: Do you need right-[Ctrl] for anything?

If not, you can use this key to command the Extender, and you don’t need to set anything. If you need this key to control your hardware or software, or if your keyboard doesn’t have this key, move DIP-switch position 2 on the bottom of the Remote Unit to the DOWN (ON) setting.

To install your Extender system, refer to the illustration below. The elements of a basic ACU3001A Single-Access installation are shown with solid lines; extra elements that can be present in an ACU3009A Dual-Access or an ACU3022A KVM/Serial/Audio installation are shown with dashed lines.

Use the included extension cable to attach the CPU to the Local Unit. Plug the remote keyboard, monitor, and mouse directly into the Remote Unit. In Dual- Access systems, plug the local keyboard, monitor, and mouse directly into the Local Unit. Connect the Local and Remote Units with straight-pinned four-pair solid-core CAT5 cable (not Level 6, etc.). Power the Remote Unit with its included power supply. For more information, or if your installation includes any KVM switches, refer to Chapter 6.
