enhanced features may also be supported with custom firmware.

connect to a PC which does not have a PS/2 mouse port, an active serial converter is
required – Model No: AC244A.

may be directly connected to the Remote unit (optional pre-amplification).
• Serial: Transparent up to 19.2K Baud (38.4K operation may be possible with some
devices). The following serial signals are extended: TX, RX, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR. In
rare cases, a wiring adaptor may be required to transfer RI and DCD.
• Video: VGA to UXGA. Separate sync, composite sync, or sync-on-green. Maximum
resolution and refresh rates depend on cable length and cable type (see
