4.1 Configuring an Attached PC (ACU5010A Only)

If you’ve directly attached a PC to the standalone transmitter of a full ACU5010A Extender kit, configure it in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse, and monitor were all connected directly to it, but keep these things in mind:

•The Extender emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, and PS/2 mice, so make sure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in Section 3.1.

•The Extender supports VGA, SVGA, XGA, and XGA-2 type monitors, but does not support the automatic detection features available with some Plug-and-Play monitors and video cards. If you have this type of video card or monitor, you should select the video mode manually instead of relying on the automatic detection feature.
