Introduction:

KVM Cat5 Extender is designed to control the PC, Server or KVM Switch

up to 500 feet away from your Keyboard, Mouse and VGA monitor.

KVM-9005T transmitter is to synthesize the signals of PS/2 keyboard,

PS/2 mouse, and VGA monitor for being easily transmitted to a long

distance over popular Ethernet CAT5 cable. KVM-9005R receiver is to

take the synthetic signal and return it back to the signal s of PS/2 keyboard,

PS/2 mouse and VGA monitor respectively.

KVM-Cat5 is a good solution for those noisy server room environment

where is unsuitable for people to work for a long time, besides, it

facilitates effective management on dispersive computers through one

dedicated central control room, demonstration room, meeting room, or at

your desk. CAT5 STP cable (Shielded Twisted Pair)/ UTP cable

(Unshielded Twisted Pair) or enhanced cable like CAT5E/CAT6 cable is

applied to LAN network popularly. KVM-9005 uses the same existing

network construction to transfer local console signal to remote side.

KVM-9005 allows you to move your console, i.e. Keyboard, Mouse and

VGA monitor, to a suitable place for centralized control conveniently over

LAN network. You just need to install a pair of extender, the transmitter

and receiver, into local side and remote side respectively. It also saves

your cable layout and installation cost.

Installation:

Before installation, please make sure to turn off all of peripherals and

computers have; and follow the procedures to install your conditions

correctly:

Adjust the “KNOB“ on the top of KVM-9005R receiver for optimal VGA

display quality, which is various because of cable characteristic, such as

the length, category, shielded, and unshielded. Turn on “DIP SWITCH 1

and 2” on the side of KVM-9005T, if the CAT5 cable is longer than 300

feet. The factory default value of “DIP SWITCH 1 and 2” is OFF.

Troubleshooting:

1. Receiver power LED is not ON. Make sure power adapter is connected

to KVM-9005R receiver.

2. No video signal is displayed on the monitor.

2.1 Please check if VGA cable and CAT5 cable are properly

connected to the connectors respectively.

2.2 Make sure VGA cable is attached to computer during the

boot-up process.

2.3 Make sure power adapter is connected to receiver.

3. Video signal is foggy or un-cleared on the screen.

3.1 Please check if the VGA cable is properly connected.

3.2 Make sure the VGA resolution is not too high for the length of

cable that is used. It is highly recommended to use “optimal

CAT5 cable length” to get the best video quality and not to waste

unnecessary CAT5 cable. Therefore, if the problem happened,

please shorten the CAT5 cable length or reduce VGA resolution.

 NOTE: High VGA resolution up to 1280X1024

(CAT5 cable length up to 500 feet approximately)

4. There is the error message “Keyboard or Mouse not found” on the

screen. Please make sure PS/2 cable and connector are well seated.

5. For USB computers like PC, MAC, or SUN Microsystems, please

apply USB-to-PS/2 adapter to KVM-9005.
