Introduction
Overview
The CE800B USB KVM Extender with on-board audio allows access to a
computer system from a remote console (USB keyboard and mouse, monitor,
stereo speakers, and microphone). It is perfect for factory and construction
sites, or any type of installation where the console needs to be in a conveniently
accessible location, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe place
– away from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental influences.
The CE800
B also is useful for control and security purposes. Store the system
unit in a secure area while at the same time you put the console in a location
that offers convenient access.
Recognizing the increased importance of sound in the computing environment,
the on-board audio feature of the latest CE800
B allows audio (stereo
microphone and stereo speakers) transmissions to be extended to the remote
system along with the KVM data.
The CE800
B USB KVM Extender further improves on previous designs by
using compact Cat 5e cable – the kind commonly used in Ethernet networks –
instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard cables. Cat 5e cabling makes for
a much neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection.
Furthermore, the CE800
B has built-in USB ports that support USB Mass
Storage compliant flash drives. The addition of a Type B USB port on the local
unit means that the flash drive facility is fully supported in both PC-only and
KVM switch installations.
Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer system box and local
console to the Local CE800
B Unit, run the Cat 5e cable to the Remote CE800B
Unit (up to 250 meters away); and plug the remote console into the Remote
Unit.
Note: 1. You can control numerous remote systems from a single console by
combining the CE800
for details on combining a KVM switch in your CE800
B with a KVM switch. See Setting Up, page 13
B installation.
2. If you want to include a touchscreen in your CE800
must purchase an additional USB extender.

4. For increased grounding protection, use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable
to connect the local and remote units. There are two methods that can be
used:
a) In addition to the eight paired wires, STP cable also contains a
grounding wire. Solder this wire to the RJ-45 connector as shown in the
diagram below:
b) The second method is to use the STP cable shielding for grounding. In
this case, make sure that the shielding makes tight contact with the top
inside of the RJ-45 connector as shown in the diagram below:
In either case, make sure that the sides of the RJ-45 connector make tight
contact with the grounding contacts on the sides of the RJ-45 port as
shown in the diagram below:

them is to make sure that all cables are securely attached and seated completely
in their ports.
In addition, updating the product’s firmware may solve problems that have
been discovered and resolved since the prior version was released. If your
product is not running the latest firmware version, we strongly recommend that
you upgrade. See The Firmware Upgrade Utility, page 31, for upgrade details.
