Operation

General use

In use, the X100 modules should be transparent - the system and its peripherals should operate exactly as normal, the only difference being that they are now up to 100 metres or more apart.

In some installations, you may see some ‘shadows’ to the right of high contrast screen characters. This can be caused by an incorrectly selected sharpness setting and it may be necessary to make adjustments to correct this. Please see Video compensation - sharpness and brightness in the ‘Special configuration’ section.

Locking and unlocking the system

In situations where the computer system (and its local CAM) can be locked away the X100 modules offer a viable security system to deter unauthorised use. Once a password has been set, a simple key sequence allows the system to be quickly and securely detached from its peripherals. Only the correct password will reconnect the remote and local modules.
