1.

Ensure that the power switch is in the “off” position and connect the pro-

vided AC power cord to the FiberReach Transmitter unit. Plug the cord into an

appropriate power source.

2.

(Optional) For local access to the KVM Switch or server whose console

you wish to transmit, attach a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the ports

labeled “Local Access”.

3.

Attach the DB25 connector on the included coaxial cable (

P/N CCP20

) to the

port marked, “KVM In”. Attach the keyboard, monitor, and mouse connectors

to the corresponding PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 monitor, and VGA ports on the KVM

Switch or Server whose console access you would like to transmit.

4.

Power on the KVM Switch or Server. FiberReach II will emulate the neces-

sary keyboard and mouse signals while it is powered off.

5.

Using an SC-Duplex connector, attach one end of a dual-strand fiber optic

cable to the port marked “Transmitter Port”. Use 9/125 micron single-mode

fiber (for distances up to 10000m/32800ft); or use either 62.5/125 or 50/125

micron multi-mode fiber (for distances up to 550m/1800ft).

6.

Ensure that the power switch is in the “off” position and connect the pro-

vided AC power cord to the FiberReach Receiver unit. Plug the cord into an

appropriate power source.

7.

Attach a keyboard, C

CR

RT

T monitor, and mouse to the ports as labeled. Do

not connect an LCD monitor at this time; you can later connect an LCD moni-

tor after all necessary installation and configuration steps are complete (see

Step 6 of the Administrative Setup procedures on reverse).

8.

Using an SC-Duplex connector, attach the other end of the dual-strand

fiber optic cable used in Step 5 into the connector marked “Receiver Port”.

9.

Power on the FiberReach II Transmitter first; then power on the FiberReach

II Receiver. Wait 5-20 seconds as the units initiate communication. During this

time the status of LED indicators on the FiberReach Transmitter and Receiver

may change. Use the following as guidelines:

Blinking - the FiberReach Transmitter and Receiver

are negotiating

Solid - the link between the FiberReach Transmitter

and Receiver has been established

Off - there is no signal between the FiberReach

Transmitter and Receiver

10.

After ensuring the proper LED status, hit any key on the remote console

keyboard to initiate system communication. Note that if you reinitiate system

communication by disconnecting any fiber cable or restarting power, you will

once again need to hit any key to initiate system communication.
