1 Quick Setup
This section briefly describes how to install your KVM extender system and optimize the video
signals. Unless you are an experienced user, we recommend that you follow the full procedures
described in the rest of this manual. Refer to the command summary when following this procedure.
2 Installation
For first-time users, we recommend that you carry out a test placement, confined to a single room,
before commencing full installation. This will allow you to identify and solve any cabling problems,
and experiment with the KVM extender system more conveniently.
2.1 Package Contents
You should receive the following items in your extender package (all types) If anything is missing,
please contact Technical Support:
• Extender Local/Remote unit.
• 2x 6V DC 12W un iversal power supply for Local/Remote unit.
• 2x DVI-I to VGA adapter (DVI-I du al link male to HD15 female) connector.
• 1x VGA to DVI-I adap ter (HD15 male to DVI-I dual link female) connector.
• Programming cable (DB9 female to RJ11 4p4 c).
• User manual (Quick Setup) .
• 2x German-type power cord.
All PS/2 models are supplied with:
• KVM CP U cable set (1.8m) with PS/2 (6-pin mini-DIN male-to-male) keyboard and mouse
connector and DVI-I video (DVI-I dual link male-to-male) connector
All USB types are supplied with:
• DVI-I video cable (DV I-I dual link male-to-male)
• USB cable (USB type A to type B)
• 5V DC 12W universal po wer supply for Remote unit
(only required when connecting two or more High Power USB

2.2 System Setup
To install your DDXI - DVI KVM Extender system:
1. Switch off all devices.
2. Connect your keyboard, monitor(s) and mouse to the Remote unit as shown below (K439-1W),
(K437-1W/K438-1W) or (K442-3U/K443-3U).
These ports may also be attached to the CPU side of a KVM switch in orde r to
have a Remote CPU. However, if you are attempting to use the exte nder
between cascaded KVM switches this may not work. Please conta ct Technical
Support to discuss your application.
3. Connect the interconnect cable to the INTERCONNECT socket(s) as shown below (K439-
1W), (K437-1W/K438-1W) or (K442-3U/K443-3U).
4. Connect the 6V power supply to power the unit.
Only use the power supply originally supplied with this
equipment or a manufacturer-approved replacement.
5. Using the supplied CPU KVM cable(s), connect the keyboard, monitor(s) and mouse
connectors on the computer (or KVM switch) to the corresponding connectors on the Local unit
as shown below (K439-1W), (K437-1W/K438-1W) or (K442-3U/K443-3U).
Ensure that you attach the keyboard and mouse connectors to the correct ports. The keyboard
connector is purple; the mouse connector is green.
If your PC does not have a PS/2 mouse port, an active serial con verter will be
required
6. For a dual access system, connect the keyboard, mouse and monitor for the Local console to the
appropriate ports on the Local unit. The ports may also be used to feed into a KVM switch.
7. Connect the Interconnection cable from the Remote unit to the INTERCONNECT socket on
the Local unit as shown below (K439-1W), (K437-1W/K438-1W) or (K442-3U/K443-3U).
8. Power up the system.

3.1 Diagnostic LEDs
Each Extender unit is fitted with four indicator LEDs: Communication Error, Link Status, Device
Ready and Video Signal. The Indicator LEDs are located in the same positions on all models in the
DDXI - DVI KVM Extender range. The Communication Error and Link Status LEDs are to the left
and right, respectively, of the Interconnect sockets. The Device Ready and Video Signal LEDs are
next to the Power socket.
As an example, the location of the LEDs is shown below for K439-1W Remote and Local units:

4 Device Control
If you are using the DVI output from your video card and the DVI input to a TFT monitor, no
adjustment should be required. In other cases, when the video signal is converted between analog
and digital formats, either by the Local unit and/or the monitor, you may need to optimize the video
signal using the Extender’s on-screen display (OSD).
Figure 2 OSD Utility
You can adjust the following properties using the OSD:
• Adaptation to analo g signal sources (VGA/RGB) – see also manual, page Fehler! Textmarke
nicht definiert..
• Color temperature
• Brightness/contrast
• Saturation
• OSD operation, factory reset.
4.1 Opening the OSD
You can access the OSD in two ways:
• Using the keyboard attached to the Remote Unit:
• Using our small WINDOWS™ program with a serial connection to the programming port of
the LOCAL UNIT.
While the OSD is active, the mouse is locked and only menu keystrokes are allowed at the keyboard.
To indicate that the OSD mode is active, the status LEDs (Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock)
are flashed. There is a summary of OSD commands.
4.1.1 Using the keyboard attached to the Remote Unit
Type the following key sequence at the Remote console keyboard:
<Ctrl> + <Shift> + < I >
Note. On some keyboards, <Ctrl> is replaced by <Strg>.
To navigate within the OSD:
• Use the left and right arro w keys to highlight a submenu and/or function.
• Press the <ENTER> key to select the highlighted submenu or function.
• Select the Exit icon to go back to the previou s menu level.
• Press the <ESC> key to exit the OSD mode.
4.1.2 Using our WINDOWS™ program attached to the
Local Unit
On all devices, you can use our small WINDOWS™ program, running on a WINDOWS™
computer for OSD access:
• Download th e program from our server
• Connect the programming cable to th e programming port of the Local unit.
• Connect the programming cable to th e serial port of your computer, where the program is
running.
• Start the program and follow the on -screen instructions.
• Type in the following key: <ENTER>
When the OSD starts, it displays information about the attached device and firmware version, for
example:
Modul Name : DVI-KVM-12lo
Version : Vers.1.3
Date : 03/05/15
To navigate within the OSD:
• Use the <L> and <R> keys to highli ght a submenu and/or function.
• Press the <S> key to select the highlighted submenu o r function.
• Select the Exit button to go back to t he previous menu level.
Press the <X> key to exit the OSD mode.
