Installing the Remote Unit

1. Place the Remote Unit near the remote keyboard/mouse/monitor setup.
2. Connect the USB mouse, keyboard, and a VGA monitor to the indicators marked as

CONSOLE on the Remote Unit.

OPTIONAL: If connecting a computer system directly to the Remote Unit, switch

off the computer and disconnect any existing VGA and input connections. Using a

StarTech.com integrated KVM cable, connect the end of the cable that has two (USB) or

three (PS/2) connectors to the VGA Out connector and the USB or mouse and keyboard

PS/2 connectors on the computer as appropriate. (The PS/2 version of the cable is

color-coded.) Connect the opposite end of the cable with a single connector to the

gray-coded connector marked COMPUTER on the Remote Unit of the KVM extender.
3. Connect the UTP cable connection for Remote Unit to the NETWORK RJ-45

connector on the Remote Unit. Connect the opposite end to a terminated wall

outlet (if using premises cabling).

4. Connect the power adapter from an electrical outlet to the Remote Unit.

WARNING! The UTP network cables that connect the Host and Remote Units carry

electrical current and should not be plugged in to other devices, as they may cause

damage. We strongly recommend marking the cables you are using with this product

at both locations for easy identification.

Mask Hotkey Switch

The Mask Hotkey switch on the rear panel of both the Host and Remote Units is a

feature for use when a KVM switch is being used. Setting the switch to ON or OFF will

Mask (disable) the units built in hotkey detection, allowing the controls keys to be sent

directly to the KVM switch.
