Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Setting Up

Setting up the CE774 / CE775 USB Dual View KVM Extender system is simply a matter of plugging in the cables. Make sure that all the equipment to be connected up is powered Off. Refer to the installation diagram on the following page and do the following:

1.Plug the cables from the local console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor(s), microphone, speakers) into their ports on the Console section on the rear of the Local Unit (CE774L / CE775L). Each port is marked with an appropriate icon to indicate itself.

2.Plug the appropriate connectors on the USB KVM cable and VGA cable supplied with this unit into their ports on the CPU section on the rear of the Local Unit (CE774L / CE775L).

3.Plug the connectors on the other end of the USB KVM cable and VGA cable into the appropriate ports on the local computer. Each connector is marked with an appropriate icon to indicate which it is.

Note: If you are combining the CE774 / CE775 with a KVM switch, the other end of the USB KVM cable plugs into the appropriate ports on the KVM switch.

4.For control of serial devices, connect the RS-232 serial port on the local unit to a serial port on the local computer. Connect a serial device on the RS-232 serial port on the remote unit.

5.Plug either end of the Cat 5e/6 cable(s) into the CE774L / CE775L's Remote I/O port(s). Plug the other end of the Cat 5e/6 cable(s) into the I/O port(s) of the Remote Unit (CE774R / CE775R).

Note: Connecting the SUB Cat 5e/6 cable enables you to manage the second VGA display (connected to the output port labelled “2”). Connecting the MAIN Cat 5e/6 cable is enough to make the setup work.

6.Plug one of the power adapters (supplied with this package) into an AC source; plug the adapter's power cable into the CE774L / CE775L's Power Jack.

7.Plug the cables from the remote console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor(s), speakers, microphone), into their ports on the Console side of the CE774R / CE775R.
