INSTALLATION
19 2.3 Local Hub Installation To install the Local Hub:
1. Switch off the PC and any peripheral devices before connection.
2. Using the combination CPU KVM cable(s), connect the keyboard, monitor(s) and mouse
connectors on each computer (or KVM switch) to the corresponding connectors on a
port of the Local Hub as shown in Figure 2 (Standard Hubs), Figure 3 (Serial only Hubs)
or Figure 4 (Audio/Serial Hubs).
Ensure that you attach the keyboard and mouse connectors to the correct ports. The
keyboard connector is purple; the mouse connector is green.
If your PC does not have a PS/2 mouse port, an active serial converter
will be required - Model No: AC244A.
3. If you have a dual access system, connect the keyboard, mouse and monitor for the
Local Hub consoles to the appropriate ports on the Local Hub. The ports may also be
used to feed into a KVM switch.
4. If you have an audio-enabled Hub, connect the audio cables between the computer and
Local Hub ports as follows:
Computer Local Hub
Audio Out (green) Audio In
Audio In/Microphone (pink/blue) Audio Out
5. If you have a serial-enabled Hub, connect the supplied serial cable between the serial
ports on the computer and the Local Hub port.
6. Connect the INTERCONNECT socket on each port of the Hub to the appropriate
Remote Unit using CATx cable (see Figure 5).
Please refer to the manuals supplied with your Remote Units for
information about their configuration and installation.
7. Power up the PCs, Remote Units and consoles.
The Local Hub normally takes power through each PC’s keyboard
port. In video/serial only applications, this connection is not used
and the 5V PSU is required.
