DVXI/ET-XX KVM-EXTENDER

1

Welcome to the DVXi/ET KVM-Extender Family!

Thank you for purchasing a DVXi/ET KVM-Extender! We appreciate your business, and we

think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your enhanced RGB Graphic system will save you

money, time, and effort.

That’s because our DVXi/ET KVM-Extender is all about breaking away from the traditional

model of attaching a new display to DVI graphic source. Using the DVXi/ET KVM-

Extender, you can remotely locate monitor, keyboard and mouse up to 140m away from your

CPU.

Wherever long distances are usual, e.g. airports, industrial plants, call- centres or in

distributed computer centres, the DVXi/ET KVM-Extender is the best way, to solve all

problems in remotely locating your console. 8 different types are available: Singlehead and

Dualhead devices for PS2 keyboard/mouse and Singlehead and Dualhead devices for USB

keyboard/mouse.

Audio/serial Options are also available for each device.

This manual will tell you all about your new DVXi/ET 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:

Safety Precautions and Installation Guidelines

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation, please note the following installation

guidelines:

• Do not use CATx-devices to link between buildings – please use fibre devices.

• Only use in dry, indoor environments.

• If the building has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that equipment connected to the

Local and Remote units is on the same phase.

• Try not to route a CATx link cable alongside power cables.

• The Remote unit, Local unit and any power supplies can get warm. Do not locate them

in an enclosed space without any airflow.

• Do not place a power supplies directly on top of a unit.

• Do not obstruct a unit’s ventilation existing holes.

To safeguard against personal injury and avoid possible

damage to equipment or property, please observe the

following:

• Only use power supplies originally supplied with the

product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not

attempt to dismantle or repair any power supply. Do not

use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a

damaged case.

• Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each

case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained

from the outlet socket through to the power supply’s AC

power input.

• Do not attempt to modify or repair this product, or make

a connection from the interconnection link interface to

any other products, especially telecommunications or

network equipment.

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

A KVM Extender is used, to extend the distance between a CPU and his Keyboard / Monitor

/ Mouse considerably. In addition they are irrecoverable in 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 DVXi/ET Extender system, these limitations

are past. Remain your CPU in a secure rack cabinet or data centre while accessing from a

140m (CATx) up to 10.000m (Singlemode) remotely located place.

A basic KVM extension system comprises a Local unit and a Remote unit. The Local unit

connects directly to the CPU (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. Local units

offer dual access, allowing the connection of a second user console close to the computer.

2.7 How to Use This Guide

This guide describes the installation and configuration of the DVXi/ET – Extender Series.

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 to your PC or KVM switch. Please see also: Package Contents (page 16)

Devices with PS2 connectors are NOT compatible to devices with USB connectors.

For information about connection and installation, see Installation, page 16.

DDC Information

Normally it is not necessary to make any adjustments to the DVXi- Extender. However, in

some circumstances, it may be necessary to redefine the source of DDC Information for the

CPU. By default, the DVXi/ET KVM-Extender uses its own internal DDC table. If this

setting does not satisfy your requirements, the DDC table can either be switched to the locally

attached screen or could be downloaded from remotely located screen and stored in the

internal DDC table.

To modify the DDC-Setup, see Service Setup (page 32).

Selecting the moment of switching to the next frame

The transmission of screen data in not synchronous to the screen change of the graphic card.

Normally, the transmission is terminated during displaying a frame on the screen. If the

device switches to the new frame during the displaying period of the old frame (somewhere

on the screen), it’s possible, that you can see horizontal screen breaks in the moment of

switching (default). On the other hand the device must idle, until the actual frame is displayed

completely (until VSYNC) -> the number of frames per second transmitted sinks.

To modify the switching behaviour, see Service Setup (page 32).

Selection of Color reduction for transfer acceleration

You can select, whether always 24 Bit colors (=full color depth) are transmitted or whether

the compression algorithm automatically switches between 16 and 24 Bit colors to accelerate

the data transfer (default). Normally the difference between 24 Bit and 16 Bit is not

recognizable but under some special circumstances e.g. in photo processing installations there

might be disturbing color abberations. However, the automatic color switching enhances the

count of frames, transmitted per second, fixed 24 Bit color depth gives smooth color grades

under all circumstances. Please select to you choice the better mode.

To modify the color depth, see Service Setup (page 32).

3.2 Interconnection Cable Requirements

To connect the Local and Remote units you will need:

• DVI, PS2-Keyboard, and PS2-Mouse: Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to

your CPU (KVM - Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free!

Devices K461-1W, K461-2W, K461-SA and K461-DA

• DVI, USB-Keyboard, USB-Mouse: Connect the supplied DVI-D cable (DVI-D to

DVI-D) and the USB-cable (USB-A to USB-B) to your CPU. Please ensure that the

connection is tension-free! Devices K461-1U, K461-2U, K461-SU and K461-DU

• DVI: Connect the supplied DVI CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM - Switch, etc.).

Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices K461-2W, K461-2U, K461-

DA and K461-DU

• serial/audio: Connect the supplied serial/audio cable set to your CPU (8pin miniDIN

male to serial DB9-male/female and 2c 3.5mm audio).

• Serial: Connect the supplied serial cable to your CPU.

• Audio: Connect the supplied audio cable to your CPU.

• CATx Cable: Recommended cable: S/UTP (Cat5) according EIA/TIA 56A, TSB 36 or

Digital STP 17-03170. Four pairs AWG 24. connection according EIA/TIA 568A

(10BaseT). Use of cables from a higher category (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7) is possible.

The use of unshielded CATx Cable is possible, because of the higher electromagnetic

noise/sensitivity the device class may not be reached.

The use of flexible Cables (Patch cable) Type AWG26/8 is possible.

Because of the higher loss of the stranded cables, the maximum distance is

reduced to app. half the value of solid cables.

A point to point connection is required. Having one or more patch panels in

the line is possible and allowed. Not allowed is a connection from the CATx

link interface (RJ45) to any other products, especially telecommunications

or network equipment.
