Connecting the Source Computer to the QGE 100

Video data from the source computer is streamed over the network via the QGE 100 to be viewed on another computer or a Quantum Elite processor. The QGE 100 is compatible with both digital and analog computer graphics signals.

NOTE: If you do not intend to use keyboard and mouse control of the source

computer through the QGE 100, omit steps 1, 2, 5, and 6 (connecting the QGE between the source computer and its keyboard and mouse). (See

“Mouse and Keyboard Control of the Source Computer” on page 41 for

more information.)

Connect the QGE to the source computer as follows:

1.Connect one of the provided PS/2 to PS/2 cables between the QGE mouse PC port (circled at right) and the PS/2 mouse port of the source computer.
