Video outputs
You can connect multiple video monitors to the REMOTE module (up to two on the MS2 model or up to four on the MS4 model).
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.
1Attach the signal leads from each video monitor to the output sockets (labelled VIDEO OUT
1 to VIDEO OUT 4) on
the REMOTE module.

The various cable connections carry the following channel signals (if particular channels are not used, then corresponding link cables are not required):
Link cable | Channel signals carried |
|
1 | Keyboard, Mouse, Audio, Video 1, Serial 1 | |
2 | Video 2, Serial 2 | |
3Video 3, Serial 3 (not MS2 model)
4Video 4, Serial 4 (not MS2 model)
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the total twisted pair cable length (including patch boxes) does not exceed 200 metres for any link cable. Ensure that the multiple link cables are all of the same length to avoid the risk of uneven delays on video images.

Serial cable connections You can attach multiple serial devices (such as touch screen inputs) to the remote module (up to two on the MS2 model or up to four on MS4 model).
Note: The links support software or hardware handshaking up to a maximum baud rate of 56Kb/s.
For each required serial connection:
1Connect the cable from the serial device to one of the
9 pin ports on the LOCAL
module (labelled to SERIAL 4).
2Ensure that the corresponding serial connection at the LOCAL module matches this device and the necessary port on the host system.
