Preparing Your Site

Before you can install the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the local computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located

and place them appropriately.
3. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 unshielded

twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to run two cables from the Local Unit to the Remote

Unit’s location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ-45 connector.
OR
b) If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded twisted

pair (UTP) network cabling between the Local Unit and the Remote Unit has been

properly terminated into wall outlets in each location and there is a patch cable long

enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Local Unit to their respective outlets.
