Twisted pair link connections
The links between the LOCAL and REMOTE modules are made using between
one and four twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher.
The various cable connections carry the following channel signals (if particular
channels are not used, then corresponding link cables are not required):
Link cable
Channel signals carried
1
Keyboard, Mouse, Audio, Video 1, Serial 1
2
Video 2, Serial 2
3
Video 3, Serial 3 (not MS2 model)
4
Video 4, Serial 4 (not MS2 model)
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the total twisted pair cable length (including patch
boxes) does not exceed 200 metres for any link cable. Ensure that the multiple
link cables are all of the same length to avoid the risk of uneven delays on video
images.
For each required link connection:
1 Insert the connector from
the twisted pair cable link
into one of the sockets
(labelled
TO REMOTE 1
to
TO REMOTE 4
).
2 Ensure that the other
end of the twisted pair
link connects to the
corresponding numbered
socket on the REMOTE
module (labelled
TO LOCAL
1
to
TO LOCAL 4
).
Power connection (optional on MS2 model)
The MS2 and MS4 LOCAL modules both have power input sockets. However,
only the MS4 model has a mandatory requirement for power input from a
supplied adapter. The MS2 LOCAL module requires a separate power input
only when the keyboard connection to the host system is not used. Separate
power supply units are available from Adder Technology Limited direct
(
om your local supplier - part number: PSU-IEC-
5VDC.
1 Attach the output connector of the
power supply to the socket of the
