Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

The VKM01 is a video / keyboard / mouse extension system for personal computers that makes it possible to control one CPU from two separate locations. The system consists of the VKM02 Local Module and VKM03 Remote Module. The two units are connected by one economical CAT5 cable, allowing the remote module to be located up to 500 feet away.

The VKM01 is an excellent choice for applications where a computer must be controlled from two locations, and / or two users must share data simultaneously. The system is also ideal for presentation / training facilities, computer labs, industrial installations or any application requiring the computer CPU to be placed in a secure central location, while the computer monitor, keyboard and mouse are placed in a remote location that provides easy access for system users.

VKM02 Local Module - is located adjacent to the computer and connects directly to the CPU ports. The VKM02 connects directly to keyboards with PS/2 connectors (6-Pin Mini DIN Male) and PC/AT keyboards when used with an optional VN591 adapter or VN590 adapter cable (5-Pin DIN Male to 6-Pin Mini DIN Male). The VKM02 connects directly to a PS/2 or serial mouse, and a VGA port is provided to drive a local computer monitor. The local module requires no separate power supply because it derives power from the computer.

VKM03 Remote Module - includes ports to connect a remote data monitor, keyboard and mouse. The CAT5 cable allows the unit to be located up to 500 feet away from the computer without significant signal loss associated with long cable runs. The 15-Pin VGA video out port connects directly to a VGA monitor. The VKM03 connects directly to keyboards with PS/2 connectors, and PC / AT keyboards using an optional VN591 adapter / VN590 adapter cable. Note: The VKM03 supports PS/2 mice only.

High Quality Video - The VKM01 system employs sophisticated video circuitry to maintain excellent video quality with VGA video signals at resolutions as high as 1600 x 1200. Monitors may be connected to both the local and remote modules simultaneously. The Video Gain Control (VGC) on the VKM03 Remote Module lets users fine-tune the video signal to optimize the video image for various cable lengths.

Automatic Local / Remote Control Switching - Keyboard and mouse control automatically switches between the VKM02 Local Module and the VKM03 Remote Module based on which keyboard and mouse are currently active. LEDs on each module illuminate to indicate whether the local or remote keyboard and mouse have control. The local and remote units employ special circuitry that saves and restores the settings for each keyboard including Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock.

Mounting Brackets - The VKM02 / VKM03 modules can be mounted under a table, inside a rack or on any convenient flat surface using the optional IN9089 mounting brackets.

Applications

In addition to allowing two users / stations to share the same data from one computer, the VKM01 system is ideal for:

• Work environments in which dust, solvents, intense heat and other harsh atmospheric

conditions might otherwise damage a system’s CPU (such as in machine shops, warehouses / distribution centers, and fabrication and manufacturing production facilities).

• Places where security necessitates that direct CPU access be restricted to authorized

personal only (to reduce the chances of theft, sabotage, vandalism, etc.).

• Operators whose responsibilities require computer access from two locations, such as

from an office and production area / remote site.

• Facilities contending with high-traffic, over-crowded or limited work space.

Installation

This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the VKM01 Video / Keyboard / Mouse Extender System. An application diagram is included on page 4.

Warning: Make sure that the CPU, monitor(s), remote module and all other system components are turned OFF before you begin the install ation. Failure t o do so may re sult in possible damage to the system or having to re-enable / re-synchronize peripherals.

Helpful hint: Before beginning your installation, check the keyboard(s), mouse / mice and monitor(s) for system compatibility by attaching all of them directly to the CPU or to another computer. This could help you avoid timeconsuming problems. Note: When installing more than one monitor, make sure that both units support the same resolution.

1. Place / install the VKM02 Local Module and the VKM03 Remote Module at their

desired locations. Make sure the units are seated on a level surface or are mounted firmly (when using the optional IN9089 Mounting Brackets).

2. Run the appropriate IN9500 Series CAT5 cable from the VKM02 to the VKM03 (see

Optional Accessories / CAT5 Link Cable on page 8).

Note: Always test your cable(s) prior to any permanent installation.

Although CAT5 cable significantly reduces signal loss associated with long cable runs, it does have its limits. High-resolution video signals require a higher bandwidth. The higher the signal bandwidth, the shorter the distance it can be transmitted along any cable before it begins to degrade. The table below provides the maximum recommended cable lengths for the VKM01 system using CAT5 cable:

Resolution Distance

1600 x 1200 250’ 1280 x 1024 300’

1024 x 768 350’

800 x 600 400’ 640 x 480 500’

Running CAT5 or any system cables near machinery or fluorescent lights may cause signal interference. Users will achieve optimal results if they avoid routing the cables near air conditioners, generators, compressors, or any other device that may produce conflicting currents.

3. Connect the RJ45 connector of the CAT5 cable to the CAT5 LINK receptacle on the

back of the VKM03 Remote Module. Connect the local video monitor to the VGA video output connector, and the keyboard to the appropriate 6-pin mini DIN female output connector. Use the optional VN591 adapter / VN590 adapter cable for PC / AT keyboards.

4. Connect the mouse (PS/2 only). Connect the round connector on the IN9204-1

Power Supply (included) to the POWER input jack (located on the back of the VKM03, immediately adjacent to the POWER button). Connect the adapter box end of the power supply to an A/C power source.

WARNING: DO NOT turn the power button on. The VKM03 must be connected to the Local Module before applying power. Failure to do so could damage the unit. The proper power-up procedure is explained in the KEY CONCEPT in step 10.

5. Connect the RJ45 connector of the CAT5 cable to the CAT5 LINK receptacle on the

back of the VKM02 Local Module.

If the installation requires mouse / keyboard access at the VKM02 Local Module, complete steps 6 - 8. If no local access is necessary, proceed to step 9.

6. Connect the keyboard’s PS/2 connector to the VKM02 output (“TO

PERIPHERALS”). PC / AT keyboards may also be connected using an optional

VN591 adapter / VN590 adapter cable.

7. Connect the mouse to the appropriate output (the VKM02 connects directly to a PS/2

or serial mouse).

Note: Only one mouse may be connected to either the PS/2 or serial mouse port.

8. Connect the local computer monitor to the VIDEO output using a standard 15-pin

VGA cable. The VKM02 derives power directly from the computer through the keyboard port. Therefore, no separate power supply is required. The unit powers up automatically when the CPU is turned on.

Warning: NEVER connect the VKM02 or the VKM03 to a computer that is already on.

9. Using a VN531M 15-pin VGA cable (included), connect the CPU’s video output to

the VKM02 video input connector (“TO COMPUTER”). Using the VN576-L6 PS/2 keyboard and mouse cables (included), connect the CPU’s keyboard input port to the VKM02 keyboard output connector, and CPU’s mouse input port to the VKM02 mouse output port. The VN531M VGA cable and the VN576-L6 PS/2 cables are 6’ long. If your installation requires longer cable runs, a list of available cables and extensions can be found on page 8 (Optional Accessories - VGA / Keyboard / Mouse Cables & Extensions).

Note: Mouse cable runs of over 12’ can result in signal problems and are not recommended.

10. Complete the installation by turning on the VKM03 Remote Module, computer and

monitor(s).

To avoid possible damage to the unit or the need for re-calibration:

turn on the VKM03 Remote Module FIRST,

2) turn on the CPU SECOND, and

3) turn on the monitor(s) / additional pheripheral devices LAST.

11. Adjust the VGC control located on the back of the VKM03 Remote Module. This

control lets you fine-tune the signal peaking circuitry to compensate for different cable lengths. The ideal setting for this control will vary depending on the resolution of the computer video signal and the length of the CAT5 link cable between the VKM02 and VKM03 modules. Turning the VGC pot clockwise will increase the cable compensation, while turning it counterclockwise decreases the cable compensation. Using the IN9333 adjustment tool provided, gently adjust the VGC so that a good quality image is displayed. Note: The entire rotation range of the VGC

control is just over 180 degrees, so care must be taken not to force or over-rotate the pot.

The VKM01 requires no special software or dipswitch / jumper settings. Simply connect the cables, turn it on (in the proper sequence), adjust the cable compensation control and your system is fully operational.

Operation

This section offers step-by-step instructions for operating the VKM01 Video / Keyboard / Mouse Extender System.

1. Turn the VKM03 Remote Module power switch on. The switch is located on the

back of the unit between the RJ45 CAT5 LINK and the IN9204-1 power adapter connectors.

2. Turn the CPU and the monitors on. Since the VKM02 Local Module derives power

directly from the computer, the unit automatically powers up when the CPU is turned on.

3. Both the VKM02 and VKM03 modules feature dual, front panel LED indicators

(labeled LOCAL and REMOTE). After power has been applied to both units, the red LEDs will illuminate for about three seconds. The system is ready to be used when the LEDs begin flashing.

4. Operators gain control of the system when they move the mouse or commence using

the keyboard at either location. The system automatically senses which location has control and the LEDs illuminate accordingly. If the operator at the local module has control of the system, the LOCAL LEDs will illuminate on both the VKM02 and VKM03. If the operator at the remote module has control of the system, the REMOTE LEDs will illuminate on both units. The operator maintains control of the system until their keyboard / mouse activities cease. At this point (after about three seconds), the LEDs on both modules will begin flashing, indicating that the system is available to either location. Regardless of which station is controlling the computer, both the local and remote monitors will display the same data.

5. The VGC control on the back of the VKM03 Remote Module allows the operator to

adjust the signal to achieve optimal video quality at various input resolutions and with different CAT5 cable lengths. Turning the VGC pot clockwise increases the cable compensation, while turning it counterclockwise will decrease the cable compensation. Using the IN9333 adjustment tool provided, gently adjust the VGC so that a good quality image is displayed. The VGC pot is recessed to increase durability and help avoid accidental changes to the setting. Note: The entire rotation

range of the VGC control is just over 180 degrees, so care must be taken not to force or over-rotate the pot.

Troubleshooting

Problem 1: There is no response from the keyboard / mouse / local monitor connected to the

VKM02 Local Module.

Solution 1: Check the LEDs on the front of the unit. If they are off, make sure the CPU is on. Solution 2: Make sure that the keyboard / mouse / VGA cable is securely connected to the correct

local module port (“TO PERIPHERALS”).

Solution 3: Make sure that the keyboard / mouse / VGA cable connecting the VKM02 to the CPU is

securely seated at both ports.

Solution 4: (Monitor only) Make sure the local monitor is on. Solution 5: (Mouse only) Only one mouse may be connected to either the PS/2 or serial mouse port.

If both input ports are in use, one mouse must be disconnected.

Solution 6: (Keyboard and mouse only) See Problem 4.

Problem 2: There is no response from the keyboard / mouse / local monitor connected to the

VKM03 Remote Module.

Solution 1: Check the LEDs on the front of the unit. If they are off, make sure the power button on

the back of the VKM03 is on. If the LEDs do not engage, see Problem 5.

Solution 2: Make sure that the keyboard / mouse / VGA cable is securely seated in the proper

VKM03 output port.

Solution 3: Make sure that the CAT5 cable is securely seated in the CAT5 LINK receptacle at both

modules.

Solution 4: (Keyboard and mouse only) See Problem 4.

If keyboard / mouse / monitor problems persist, test the peripheral by plugging it directly into the CPU or another computer. If the unit(s) continues to malfunction it is probably defective and should be replaced. Note: Before unplugging / replacing the component in question, make sure that the computer, monitor(s) and VKM03 are turned off.

Problem 3: The video quality of the monitor connected to the VKM03 Remote Module is very

poor.

Solution 1: Make sure that the VGA cable is securely seated in the VKM03 video output port. Solution 2: Make sure that the CAT5 cable is securely seated in the CAT5 LINK receptacle at both

modules.

Solution 3: Adjust the VGC on the back of the VKM03 to increase / decrease the cable

compensation until an acceptable video image appears.

Solution 4: Although CAT5 cable significantly reduces signal loss associated with long cable runs, it

does have its limits. The table on page 2 provides the maximum recommended cable lengths for the VKM01 system using CAT5 cable.

Problem 4: The VKM02 local module was plugged into the CPU while it was already powered

up, the mouse / keyboard was accidentally unplugged, or power to the VKM03 has been turned off. The mouse / keyboard is either not responding or the mouse is responding erratically.

Solution: All components in the VKM01 system must be OFF during installation. In the event that

components are connected / disconnected while the computer is ON (or the peripherals are powered-up in the wrong sequence), the mouse / keyboard may have to be re-enabled / resynchronized. See the KEY CONCEPT at the bottom of page 3 for the correct power-up sequence.

If the mouse is not responding:

• Press and release the Ctrl key, and type the letter R. This will initialize the mouse.

• Press and release the Shift key, and type the letter R. This will enable the mouse.

• If the problem persists, refer to Problems 2 or 5.

If the mouse responds erratically:

• Press and release the Ctrl key, and type the letter N. This will re-synchronize the mouse.

If the mouse is two bytes out of sync, the procedure must be repeated.

Note: Issuing this command while the mouse is in sync will throw it off track. Issuing the Ctrl N command twice will re-synchronize the mouse.

If the keyboard is not responding:

(In order to rectify this problem, the keyboard must first be disabled)

• Press and release the Shift key, and type the letter Z. This will disable the keyboard.

• Press and release the Shift key, and type the letter Y. This will re-enable the keyboard.

Problem 5: The VKM03 power switch is on but there is no response from the keyboard, mouse

or local monitor, and the LEDs are dark.

Solution 1: Make sure that the IN9204-1 power adapter is securely plugged into the unit and the A/C

source.

Solution 2: Make sure the A/C source is live. Solution 3: The IN9204-1 power adapter may have failed. It should feel warm to the touch after it

has been plugged in for a few minutes. If the adapter feels cool, replace it.
