Basic Installation

Connecting your Remote Peripherals

4. Plug a standard Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair cable (up to 500 feet)

into the RJ-45 style modular jack on the rear of the APC KVM Switch.
APC C5T or APC P5T cable is strongly recommended to achieve best
performance and maximum distance. If you use a different Category 5 cable,
make sure it is terminated to the EIA (TIA) 568 B standard, commonly
used for 10BaseT Ethernet.

5. Route the Category 5 cable to the location where you intend to place the

secondary monitor, keyboard and mouse.

6. If you are using Remote PS/2 peripherals
Place the Remote User Receiver near the monitor and connect your monitor,

keyboard and mouse to the connectors on the rear of the Remote User Receiver
(AP9279) just as you would connect them to your computer. Make sure you
connect your monitor’s power supply to appropriate electrical outlets. (Please
note that the

connector on the rear of the Remote User Receiver is not

used in an APC KVM Switch conﬁ guration. Do not connect anything to the

connector on the rear of the Remote User Receiver.)
