Twisted pair link connections

The links between the LOCAL and REMOTE modules are made using between one and four twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher.

The various cable connections carry the following channel signals (if particular channels are not used, then corresponding link cables are not required):

Keyboard, Mouse, Audio, Video 1, Serial 1

Power connection (optional on MS2 model)

The MS2 and MS4 LOCAL modules both have power input sockets. However, only the MS4 model has a mandatory requirement for power input from a supplied adapter. The MS2 LOCAL module requires a separate power input only when the keyboard connection to the host system is not used. Separate power supply units are available from Adder Technology Limited direct (www.shop.adder.com) or from your local supplier - part number: PSU-IEC- 5VDC.
