Installation
This product is composed of two different units: the Host Unit and
the Remote Unit. The Host Unit takes input controls from a computer
(using a PS/2 or USB integrated KVM cable) and allows access to
them via the Remote Unit over Category 5 UTP cable. The remote
computer also connects to the Remote Unit using an integrated KVM
cable (again, either PS/2 or USB) and allows the user at the remote
site to control that computer or the host computer using keyboard
hotkey commands.
A PS/2 mouse and keyboard and a VGA monitor are connected to the
Remote Unit (the console). You can also connect console peripherals
to the Host Unit if you need direct as well as remote access to that
computer.
Preparing Your Site
Before you can install the the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the host 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. If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Host Unit to the Remote Unit’s
location, and that each end is terminated with RJ-45 connector.
OR
4. If you are using premisses cabling, ensure that the category 5 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling between the Host Unit and the Remote Unit has been
properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long
enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit to their respective outlets
