ACS110A-ACS211A -EXTENDER
Welcome to the ACS110A-ACS211A (ACS1xxA)-
Extender Family!
Thank you for purchasing a ACS1xxA KVM-Extender! We appreciate your business, and we
think you’ll appreciate the many ways that our ACS1xxA KVM-Extender will save you
money, time, and effort.
That’s because our ACS1xxA KVM-Extender is all about breaking away from the traditional
model of attaching a new display to DVI graphic source. Using the ACS1xxA KVMExtender, you can remotely locate monitor, keyboard and mouse up to 10.000m away from
your CPU.
Wherever long distances are usual, e.g. airports, industrial plants, call- centres or in
distributed computer centres, the ACS1xxA KVM-Extender is the best way to solve all
problems in remotely locating your console.
Available in eight different versions, the ACS1xxA KVM-Extender will fit all your
requirements. Four versions support transmission of one or two DVI Singlelink (up to
1920x1200) signals plus USB HID (Keyboard/Mouse) or USB 2.0 (transparent). Two
versions support transmission of one DVI Duallink (up to 2560x2048) signal plus USB HID
(Keyboard/Mouse) or USB 2.0 (transparent). Finally, two versions supporting DVI Singlelink
or DVI Duallink, with USB HID) are available with a 2:1 KVM Switch in the Local Unit.
The devices are adapted for Multimode data transfer.
This manual will tell you all about your new ACS1xxA KVM-Extender, including how to
install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Converter, see Chapter 2. The
Converter product codes covered in this manual are:

2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
A fibre KVM Extender is mainly used to extend the maximum distance between a CPU and
his Keyboard / Monitor / Mouse considerably. In addition, they are indispensable for
installations in electromagnetic hazardous environments (EMI). Normal Keyboard-/ Monitor/ Mouse extender cables (and Extender using traditional cables) cannot go so far and EMI
interferences may reduce the maximum distance and/or reliability. Using a ACS1xxA
Extender system, these limitations are past. Remain your CPU in a secure rack cabinet or data
center while accessing from an up to 10.000m remotely located place.
A basic KVM extension system comprises a Local unit (transmitter) and a Remote unit
(receiver). The Local unit connects directly to the computer (or a KVM switch system) using
the supplied cable(s). The user console (keyboard, mouse and monitor) attaches to the
Remote unit. The Remote and Local units communicate video and data information along the
interconnecting cable (Multimode fibre).

OVERVIEW
2.7 How to Use This Guide
This guide describes the installation and configuration of the ACS1xxA – Extender. Although
the connection and operation of the system is relatively straightforward, you should consider
the following before getting started:
Connection & Compatibility
If you have purchased an Extender Kit, this will contain all the cables required to connect the
Local unit of your ACS1xxA KVM- Extender to your PC or KVM switch. Please see also:
Package Contents (page 14)
For information about connection and installation, see Installation, page 14.
DDC Information
Normally, it is not necessary to make any adjustments to the ACS1xxA - Extender. DDC
Information is continuously transmitted from the remote monitor to the CPU graphic card.
Compatibility

SERVICE SETUP
4. Service Setup
There are no adjustments required to set up your ACS1xxA KVM -Extender. You might be
requested by our service technicians to setup a special configuration. In this case you will
receive detailed instructions.
4.1 DIP Switch
Local Unit and Remote Unit contain a DIP Switch with 4 switch options.
All 4 switches of the DIP Switch must be ‚OFF’ during operation. Other
switch configurations can lead to malfunction during operation!
During service you will receive detailed instructions by our service technicians, how and in
which order you should set the switches.
Location and standard position of the DIP Switch are shown below:
23
ACS110A-ACS211A -EXTENDER
5. Troubleshooting
Monitor
There is no picture.
Check the power supply connection at the Local and Remote unit. Is the Power
(Red LED) at the Local and Remote unit illuminated? If not, the internal powersupply may be damaged or there may be an internal error.
Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote
Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated? If not, there may be a problem with the
Interconnection cable:
To ensure a stable data connectionyou must hear the SC plugs of the fibre
cable snap into the sockets and the Link LEDs must be permanent on.
Are there Errors through data transmission over fibre Cable? Is the Data Error LED
illuminated or blinking?
‚DVI 1’ and/or ‚DVI 2’ LED are off: CPU does not provide a video signal – Check
settings of the graphic card.
USB-Keyboard/USB-Mouse
Your USB-keyboard/USB-mouse does not work
Although we tried to design the devices as transparent as possible, we can’t ensure
that all devices are running. Please check on page 32 the list of the tested devices.
USB-HID Device
Your USB-HID device does not work
Although our interface supports HID devices, we can’t ensure that every connected
device is running. In case of a malfunction please contact our technical support.
Other USB-devices
Your USB- device does not work (ACS1xxA without USB 2.0 only)
You have connected a non-HID device. Only HID devices are supported. All other
devices are ignored.

• The nature and duration of the problem.
• When the problem occurs.
• The components involved in the problem—that is, what type of computers,
what type of keyboard, brand of mouse, make and model of monitor, type and
make of cable, etc.
• Any particular application that, when used, appears to create the problem or
make it worse.
• The results of any testing you’ve already done.
To solve some problems, it might be necessary to upgrade the ACS1xxA KVM- Extender
firmware. If this turns out to be the case for your difficulty, our Technical Support technicians
will arrange for you to receive the new firmware and will tell you how to install it.
Shipping and Packaging
If you need to transport or ship your ACS1xxA KVM Extender:
• Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the original container.
• If you are shipping it for repair, please include the Unit’s external power supplies. If you
are returning it, please include everything you received with it. Before you ship the
Extender back to your dealer for repair or return, contact him to receive a Return
Authorization (RA) number.

Appendix D: List of supported USB devices
(for USB HID versions only)
Although the USB connection’s implementation allows all keyboards and Mice, we can not
guarantee that all available keyboards/mice are running.
The implementation is constructed for “HID” devices. HID is a device class enabling inputs
in a PC. Among others, touch screen, graphic tablet, fingerprint sensors are HID devices.
Some devices install additional devices, e.g. to set parameters. Such devices are NOT
supported by our extenders. Please remark additionally that installing more than two devices
is not possible even if you use a USB hub.
The following devices are tested and have been found correct:
Keyboards
•
Mice
