Connecting Up
Refer to the installation diagram on the following page (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the numbers of the steps), as you perform these steps:
1.Plug the cables from the local console devices (keyboard, monitor, mouse), into their ports on the rear panel of the Local Unit (CE250AL).
2.Plug the SPHD end of the KVM cable supplied with this unit into the KVM port on the front panel of the CE250AL.
Note: The shape and function of the connectors on the cable and KVM switch have been modified so that only KVM cables designed to work with this switch can be used.
3.Plug the connectors on the other end of the cable into the appropriate ports on the computer (or Console section of the KVM switch - if you are using one). Each connector is marked with an appropriate icon to indicate itself.
4.Plug one end of a Cat 5 or higher STP cable into the CE250AL's Remote I/ O port. Plug the other end of the cable into the CE250AR’s Remote I/O port.
Note: STP cable is not supplied with this package. It requires a separate purchase. The cable can be up to 150 m (500 ft) long.
5.Plug the cables from the remote console devices (keyboard, monitor, and mouse), into their ports on the Console side of the CE250AR.
6.Plug the power adapter (supplied with this package) into an AC source; plug the adapter's power cable into the Remote Unit’s (CE250AR's) Power Jack.
7.If you choose to use a power adapter with the CE250AL, plug the power adapter into an AC source; plug the adapter's power cable into the CE250AL's Power Jack.
Note: Use of a power adapter with the CE250AL is optional. Refer to the note regarding the power jack on page 7 for details.
