2 Safety Instructions

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your KVM Extender please note the following guidelines:
Installation
Only use in dry, indoor environments. The KVM Extender and the power supply units can get warm. Do not
situate them in an enclosed space without any airflow.
Do not place the power supply directly on top of the device. Do not obscure ventilation holes. Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or
manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a damaged chassis.
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 connect the link interface to any other equipment, particularly
network or telecommunications equipment.
Take any required ESD precautions.
In order to disconnect the device completely from the electric circuit, all power cables have to be removed.
Repair
Do not attempt to open or repair a power supply unit. Do not attempt to open or repair the KVM Extender. There are no
user serviceable parts inside.
Please contact your dealer or manufacturer if there is a fault.

3.1 Application

The KVM Extender is used to increase the distance between a source (computer, CPU) and its console (keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices).
The KVM Extender is designed for use with Cat X (Twisted Pair) interconnect cables or fiber interconnect cables.
The KVM Extender with Cat X interconnect cables is unsuitable for connection between buildings where a fiber optic based product should be used instead.
The KVM Extender with fiber interconnect cables can also be used with applications in environments which are difficult in electromagnetical aspects. Electromagnetical interference can limit the maximum distance und reliability.

6.2 Parallel Operation of redundant CPU Units

CPU Units with a redundant connectors for interconnect cables offer the possibility for a competing control by two connected CON Units.
Taking over control is performed via keyboard and/or mouse. The release timer function determines the release time of the input devices at one of the CON Units after that control can be taken over from the second CON Unit.
In order to configure a redundant CPU Unit for the operation with two parallely controlling CON Units, proceed as follows:
1. Connect a redundant CPU Unit to any source (computer, CPU) by using a mini USB connection.
2. Open the file "Config.txt" that is located on the appearing flash drive of the extender.
3. In order to activate the function of taking over control by keyboard, write the parameter KBDCON into the second line of the file. In order to activate the function of taking over control by mouse, write the parameter MOUCON into the second line of the file. In order to activate the function of taking over control by keyboard and mouse, write the parameters in the second and third line with one parameter per line.
4. Activate the release timer by writing the parameter RELEASETIME=n into the next free line. The variable "n" defines the time in seconds and has to be replaced by the numbers 0 to 9 (e.g. RELEASETIME=5). If this parameter is not activated at all, the release time is set to 10 seconds by default.
5. Save your changes.
6. Reboot the CPU Unit.

7.3.1 USB-HID Devices

The KVM Extender will support most USB-HID devices, including the vast majority of keyboards and mice currently on the market. Many other kinds of HID devices such as bar-code scanners and touch screens may also be compatible
It is not possible to guarantee support for all available USB-HID devices. In certain cases, custom firmware may be required.
USB-HID (and other) devices that are not supported as standard will normally operate with our devices featuring transparent USB support.
Please note that concurrent operation of more than two USB-HID devices is not possible even if you use a USB hub.
