Note: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver;
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that which the receiver is connected;
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for help.
Overview
Because the CE-220 KVM Extender System allows access to a
computer system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and
mouse), 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 CE-220 System 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 a location that offers
convenient access.
The CE-220 KVM Extender provides the ideal means to access
the remote system box, since it improves on previous designs by
using inexpensive Category 5 cable—the kind commonly used in
Ethernet networks—instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard
cables. Category 5 cabling makes for a much neater, more
convenient, more reliable data transfer connection.
Setup is as easy as can be—simply connect the computer
system box and local console to the Local CE-220 Module; run
the Cat. 5 cable to the Remote CE-220 Module (up to 150 m
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-220 with a KVM switch.

Features
Inexpensive, reliable, Cat 5 cable to connect the local and
remote units—up to 150 meters apart
Dual console operation—control your system from both the
local and remote PS/2 keyboard, monitor, and mouse
consoles
Push button selection – of the active console
High resolution video – up to 1024 x 768 @ 150 m (max.)
Supports VGA, SVGA, and multisync monitors
Local monitor supports DDC; DDC2
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 PS/2 style keyboard
A PS/2 style 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.
- 2 -
Computers
The following equipment must be installed on each computer that
is to be connected to the system:
With PS/2 Type Connectors:
A VGA, SVGA, or Multisync card
A 6-pin mini-DIN mouse port
A 6-pin mini-DIN Keyboard port
With A T Type Connectors:
A VGA, SVGA or Multisync card
A DB-9 (standard serial), mouse port plus mouse adapter
(part # 2A-105)*
A 5-pin DIN (standard AT), keyboard port plus keyboard
adapter (part # 2A-106)*
* Not included - requires separate purchase.
Cables
Although it is possible to use standard KVM cables to link
computers with PS/2 type keyboard and mouse ports to the
CE-220L, 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.
It is not possible to use standard KVM cables to link
computers with AT type keyboard and mouse ports to the CE220L. For those computers, CS Custom KVM Cables must be
used.
Category 5 cable is the minimum required to connect the local
and remote CE-220 units. Cable of a lesser standard will
result in degrading the video signal. For best performance, we
strongly recommend Category 5 cable.

Installation
Setting up the CE-220 KVM Extender system is simply a matter
of plugging in the cables. Refer to the installation diagram on the
following page and do the following:
1. Make sure that all the equipment to be connected up is
powered Off.
2. Plu g the cables from the local console devices (mouse,
keyboard, monitor), into their ports on the Console side of the

appropriate ports on the computer (or Console section of the
KVM switch if you are using one). Each connector is marked
with an appropriate icon to indicate which it is.
5. Plu g either end of the Category 5 twisted pair cable into the
CE-220L's Remote I/O port.
6. Slide the Range Switch to the Long position if the Remote
Unit’s location is more than 30m away; slide it to the Short
position if the Remote Unit’s location is less than 30m away.
7. Plu g one of the power adapters (supplied with this package)
