1.Plug the cables from the local console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor, microphone and speakers) into their ports on the rear panel of the Local Unit (CE800BL). The connectors are color coded and marked with an icon to identify themselves.

2.Plug the KVM connectors on the custom KVM cable provided with this package into the KVM ports on the CE800BL’s front panel.

ŠFor a standard CE800B-to-PC installation, progress to 3.

ŠIf you are combining a KVM switch with your CE800B installation, progress to 4 and refer to the diagram on page 16.

3.For a standard CE800B-to-PC installation:

b) Next, use the USB cable provided with the CE800B package to connect the USB Type B port on the front of the CE800BL to a USB Type A port on the computer.

4.For a CE800B-to-KVM switch installation:

a) Plug the connectors on the other end of the KVM cable into the appropriate ports on the Console section of the KVM switch. The connectors are color coded and marked with an icon to identify themselves.

b) Next, use the USB cable provided with the CE800B package to connect the USB Type B port on the front of the CE800BL to the USB Type A keyboard port on the KVM switch.
