Compatibility with Peripherals

The LongView Wireless is compatible with the following peripherals:

•Keyboard- The LongView Wireless transmitter and receiver support virtually any standard PS/2 keyboard.

•Mouse- The LongView Wireless transmitter and receiver support 2- button PS/2 mice. Mice that have more than two buttons work with the reduced functionality of a 2-button mouse.

•Video- The LongView Wireless Extender supports VGA, SVGA and XGA resolutions up to 60 Hz refresh rate. Both CRT and LCD monitors with standard 15-pin high density connectors are supported.

•Audio- Speakers and headphones with 3.5 mm audio plugs are supported on the receiver side of your LongView Wireless Extender, provided the transmitter has been connected to the sound card of your PC with the provided audio cable.

Safety Precautions

To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using Avocent products:

•If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.

•Use only Avocent-supplied cable to connect computers and KVM switches. Avocent warranties do not apply to damage resulting from user-supplied cable.

To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the following precautions:

•Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Avocent product configuration.

•Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.

•Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a backup Uniterruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the computer and the LongView Wireless transmitter unit off the supply.

NOTE: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.
