Installation
1. Identify the connectors on the Transmitter and Receiver as indicated on the product
labels.
2. Verify that the distance between the DVI/USB 2 Transmitter and Receiver is within
MuxLab specifications.
3. To install the Transmitter:
3a. Connect the Transmitter to the DVI video source with a DVI compliant cable.
3b. Connect the Transmitter to USB with a standard cable.
3c. Connect one (1) lengths of Cat 5e/6 (or higher) grade UTP cables to
RJ45 LINK connectors on the Transmitter.
4. To install the Receiver:
4a. Connect the Receiver to the DVI display equipment with a DVI compliant cable.
4b. Connect the Receiver up to four USB peripheral with a standard cable. Do not use
more expansion hub on receive side. Only four ports are available. Power is limited
to 1A for the four ports.
4c. Connect the one (1) Cat 5e/6 cables to RJ45 LINK connectors on the Receiver.
5. Connect the 5 VDC 2.5A power supply to the Receiver and then plug the power
supply into an AC power outlet. Connect the second 5 VDC power supply to the
Transmitter and then plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. If power is
present, the green power LED of the Transmitter and the Receiver will be ON.
6. Power the DVI equipment and verify the image quality.
