requirements for CATx cable) into the RJ45 socket. Check that the plug is
latched in place to prevent faults.

To remove the CATx cable press the latch down and slowly pull the cable
out.

3.2 Plug in/unplug the LWL cable

Fibre model: Class 1 Laser Product 1 according to DIN 40008/EN and

The Masterline MVX Fibre Extender is delivered with a multimode SFP

module as standard. If a different SFP module is used, remove the black
dust protector from the SFP module and pull the metal latch of the module
forwards until it’s at a right angle, then the SFP module may be removed.
To plug in the new SFP module into the extender follow the same steps in
reverse.

To connect the fibre cable check that dust protector has been removed
and slot the fibre cable in until latch has clicked in to place. To remove the
fibre cable press on the latch and slowly remove the cable.

Allows the user to enable/disable
the memory option. When
activated USB flash storage and
external storage devices may be
used via the Extender.
If your Extender was provided with
this functionality you can turn it on
and off from this menu at any
time.
If the Extender didn't come with
this functionality, it can be upgraded by your dealer.
In this case, the menu displays the ID of the device (Fig. 2).
Consult your dealer and submit the ID of the device. They can send you
the appropriate unlock code.
After entering the correct code the Extender will restart and will display

“memory“ in the title of the main menu.To return to the main menu press

“ESC“.

6.4 Menu Item „I“

The monitor synchronization can
be turned on and off. When
enabled, the refresh rate of the
graphics card of the PC and that
of the remote monitor are adjusted
to match one another. The
advantage of this is to ensure that
transmission remains smooth
when the screen content changes
rapidly (e.g. When using
multimedia applications).
Not all monitors support this method so by default this option is disabled.
To activate simply press the "1" key in this menu. Should the monitor
start to flicker, this option can be disabled again by pressing the “0“ key.
To return to the main menu press “ESC“.

6.5 Menu Item „O“

In this menu you can define DDC information is used by the

PC.Pressing “0“ specifies that the DDC information from the monitor

attached to the remote Extender should be used. Pressing “1“ specifies
that the DDC information from the monitor attached to the local Extender
should be used.

Pressing “2“ saves the currentDDC information allowing the system to

continue on the same after the Extender has been restarted.

Using the keys “4“ through “8“ sets the system to use a predefined

resolution which is saved (Fig. 5).
To return to the main menu press “ESC“.
