Muxlab PS/2 Converter - Manual (Page 2)

© MuxLab Inc.
Installation
One (1) pair of converters is required to connect a keyboard and mouse to a remote PC
via Cat 5E/6 twisted pair. To install the converters, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the keyboard into the purple connector and the mouse into the green
connector on the device-side converter (500045).
2. Connect the second converter (500046) to the PC by plugging the purple connector
into the PC’s keyboard port and the green connector into the PC’s mouse port.
3. Complete the connection between the two converters using standard Cat 5E/6
twisted pair cable terminated by RJ45 plugs at both ends. Ensure that there are no
split pairs or taps.
4. Power-on or restart the PC. You may not have to restart if the PC supports “hot-
swapping” for both keyboard and mouse. The following diagram shows a typical
installation.
