Cables
Although it’s possible to use standard extender cables to connect
the PCs to the MiniViewTM, for optimum signal integrity and to
simplify the layout we strongly recommend that you use the high
quality custom cables that are provided as part of the package.
Note: The keyboard and mouse cables have PS/2 connectors at
each end. If your PC uses a standard AT style keyboard socket,
you will need an AT-PS/2 keyboard adapter in order to plug the
cable into the PC’s keyboard port. Be aware, however, that
because of the wiring and pin assignments, attempting to use
standard extender cables with adapters at both ends will not work.
You cannot use an AT-PS/2 adapter at the end that plugs into the
MiniViewTM.
The MiniViewTM supports PS/2 mice only. Please note that
PS/2-serial converters will not afford proper functionality with
your MiniViewTM KVM switch.
