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 keyboard
A 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 card
USB 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.
