The GefenToolBox HDKVM Extra Long Range Extender
The HDKVM Extra Long Range Extender extends any Hi-Def souce plus
Ethernet, and USB to an HDTV display or other digital signage
application over a distance up to 330 feet (100 meters) using two CAT-5 cables.
USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps are supported in addition to backward-compatibility with USB 1.1. The Receiver Unit allows the connections of up to two (2)
USB devices, providing access to printers, scanners, cameras, external storage
media, digital signage, and automated control systems.
This product uses Gefen ELR (Extra Long Range) technology, supporting
HDBaseT Specifi cations, allowing multiple signals to travel along the same
CAT-5 cable. A second CAT-5 cable is used for USB extension.
How It Works
Place the Sender Unit next to the Hi-Def source. Use the included HDMI cable
to connect the Hi-Def source to the Sender Unit. Use the supplied USB cable to
connect the USB host (source) device to the USB port on the Sender Unit. Connect the Receiver Unit to the HDTV display monitor or digital signage display with
an HDMI cable. Connect the USB devices to the Receiver Unit. Use two CAT-5
cables, up to 330 feet (100 meters), to connect the Sender Unit to the
Receiver Unit. Connect the included locking power supplies to the Sender Unit
and Receiver Unit, and then connect both power cords to available electrical
outlets.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Receiver Unit
The Gefen HDKVM Extra Long Range Extender contains four (4) DIP switches
on the bottom of the Receiver Unit (the Sender Unit does not contain DIP
switches). Each of these DIP switches performs a different function.
Four DIP switches located on
the bottom of the Receiver Unit.
DIP Switch 1 - EDID Mode (Default = ON)
• ON - Pass-Through Mode
DDC and HPD are passed through. Both the connection status and the full
video capabilities of the monitor are used by the source device.
• OFF - Local EDID Mode
Local EDID is used instead of the EDID from the display device. EDID
features newer than HDMI 1.3 are removed when the display is read. This
provides a general EDID which is compatible with more displays.
10
DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Receiver Unit
DIP Switch 2 - Hot Plug Detect (Default = OFF)*
• ON - HPD Pass-Through
HPD follows upstream HPD towards the source. The HPD signal will refl ect
the connection status between the display device and the source device. If
the source or monitor is temporarily disconnected then reconnected, there
will be a delay of 20 - 30 seconds before the content is restored to the
monitor.
• OFF - HPD Always High
The HPD signal remains high regardless of the downstream HPD state.
If the source or monitor does not properly handle HPD (no picture after
connecting / reconnecting source or display), set this DIP switch to the OFF
position.
DIP Switch 3 - Supports DVI Connections (Default = OFF)*
• ON - Disable HDCP
If a DVI connection is used, set DIP 3 to the ON position. DVI is supported
by disabling HDCP pass-through.
• OFF - Enable HDCP
If an HDMI device is connected, set DIP 3 in the OFF position.
DIP Switch 4 - Not Supported
• Reserved for future use
*DIP switch is only operational when using Local EDID (DIP 1 = OFF).

WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The GefenToolBox HDKVM Extra Long Range Extender Sender Unit and
Receiver Unit may be mounted vertically on a wall or in a cabinet with wood/
drywall screws as shown in the diagram above. There should be an inch or two
of clearance between the edges of the unit and any walls or vertical surfaces
to allow for enough clearance for insertion and retraction of all input and output
cables.
For installation on a drywall surface, use a #6 drywall screw. It is recommended
when installing on a drywall surface that studs be used to secure the Extender
should undue stress be applied when connecting and disconnecting cables.
