Computers

The following equipment must be installed on each computer that is to be connected to the system:

ŠA VGA, SVGA or Multisync card

ŠA 6-pin mini-DIN mouse port

ŠA 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard port

Cables

ŠAlthough it is possible to use standard KVM cables to link computers with PS/2 type keyboard and mouse ports to the CE-300L, for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout, we strongly recommend that you use the high quality custom KVM cable sets provided with this package.

ŠIt is not possible to use standard KVM cables to link computers with AT type keyboard and mouse ports to the CE-300L. For those computers, custom KVM cable sets must be used. Contact your dealer for details.

ŠCategory 5 cable is the minimum required to connect the local and remote CE-300 units. Cable of a lesser standard will result in degraded video signals. For best performance, we strongly recommend Category 5 cable.
