Overview

The CE-700 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) based KVM Extender that allows access to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse).
Because it allows access to a computer system from a remote console, the CE-700 is perfect for use in any type of installation where you need to place the console where it is conveniently accessible, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe location - away from the dust and dirt of the factory floor, or the harsh environmental influence of a construction site, for example.
The CE-700 is also useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in the most convenient location for user access.
The CE-700 improves on previous designs by: 1) using inexpensive Cat 5 cable (the kind commonly used in Ethernet networks), instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard cables, for a much neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection; 2) it is able to sense the distance to the system and automatically adjusts the gain accordingly; and 3) it features a custom ASIC to ensure the utmost in reliability and compatibility.
Setup is as easy as can be - simply connect the computer system box and local console to the Local CE-700 Module; run the Cat 5 cable to the Remote CE-700 Module (up to 150 meters away); and plug the remote console into the Remote Module.
Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single
console by combining the CE-700 with a KVM switch.

System Requirements

Consoles

A VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitor capable of the highest
resolution that you will be using on any computer in the installation
A USB keyboardA USB mouse
Note: 1. If you connect a DDC type monitor to the Local Unit, the
monitor that connects to the Remote Unit must be able to support the highest video resolution that the DDC monitor can provide.
2. You must use the same brand and model of mouse on both the local and remote units.

Computers

The following equipment must be installed on each computer that is to be connected to the system:
A VGA, SVGA, or Multisync cardUSB Host Controller and Type A USB Port

Cables

For optimal signal integrity, and to simplify the layout, we
strongly recommend that you use the high quality CS Custom KVM Cable that is provided with this package.
Cat 5 cable is the minimum required to connect the local and
remote CE-700 units. Cable of a lesser standard will result in degrading the video signal. For best performance, we strongly recommend Cat 5 cable.
