Connections
Installation of the iPEPS involves a number of basic connections
to some or all of the following items:
• Host computer (below)
• Local keyboard, video and mouse
• IP network port
• Power supply
Host computer
The iPEPS is connected to the host computer using the supplied KVM cable. At
the computer end of the cable you have the choice of linking the cable’s PS/2
connectors directly to the computer or additionally attaching the supplied USB
converters. The converters not only allow you to use the computer’s USB sockets
but also enable the Adder Virtual Media feature to be used.
To attach the KVM cable to the iPEPS
1 Ensure that power is disconnected from the iPEPS and the computer.
(Note: If it is not possible to switch off the
computer prior to connection, then a ‘Hot
plug’ procedure is available – see
the Hot plugging and mouse
restoration section for more
details).
2 Connect the plugs at one end of
the KVM cable set to the three
sockets at one end of the iPEPS.
On the Dual Access model
these are the ones on
the bottom row.
To attach the KVM cable to the computer
1 Connect the video connector of the KVM cable to the video output socket
of the computer.
2 The keyboard and mouse connections can be made to the computer in two
main ways:
• Directly to PS/2-style keyboard and mouse sockets of the computer.
or
• Via the supplied converters, to the USB connectors of the computer.
When used in this way, the keyboard and mouse signals are both fed via the
green USB converter (and lead).
Note: If you intend to power the iPEPS from the keyboard/mouse interface
(rather than a power adapter) both the purple and the green connections
must be made to the computer. This is true regardless of whether you use
the PS/2 connections or the USB converters. The iPEPS will prevent power
being taken from just one socket in order to prevent overloading.
The converters are shaped such
that they can be fitted back-to-
back directly into neighbouring
USB sockets.
