Installation
The VGA Extender is composed of two different units: the ST124UTPE(4- port)/
ST128UTPE(8-port) Extender and Splitter, along with a STUTPRXL Remote Receiver
(available seperately). The VGA Extender takes the output from a VGA source (usually a
computer) and transmits it to one or more Remote Receivers over Category 5 Ethernet
cable. Each remote display (monitor, projector) connects to a Remote Receiver using
a standard VGA connection and displays the image from the local computer on the
remote display.
Preparing Your Site
Before you can install the VGA Extender, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the local computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the remote displays will be located, situate them appropriately.
3. If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 Ethernet
cabling to connect the VGA Extender to each remote location, and that each end is
terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
OR
If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 Ethernet Cabling
between the VGA Extender and each remote display location has been properly
terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long enough to
connect the Remote Receiver and the VGA Extender to their respective outlets.
