INTRODUCTION
The PRIMUX CAT5 KVM System (PRIMUX) is designed to enable the relocation of a VGA monitor, PS/2 or USB keyboard, and
mouse from up to 64 PS/2, SUN, or USB CPUs by as much as 1000 feet. The PRIMUX is comprised of one PRIMUX-UZR User
Station and at least one Host Adapter (HA-PS2, HA-USB, or HA-SUN) connected to a CPU to be controlled by the user. The
PRIMUX-UZR User Station supports PS/2 and USB user keyboard and mouse (devices). This manual describes the installation
and use of both components.
The PRIMUX Host Adapter and User Station are interconnected with either CAT5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded
Twisted Pair (STP) cable, CAT5e cable, or CAT6 cable.
The PRIMUX Series CAT5 KVM System is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable
performance. Through the use of CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer
system. Here are some of the features and ways this can benefit any workplace:
• Allows the placement of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse in a location where only these parts are needed without having
the CPU there too, taking up valuable space
• Allows any PS/2, USB, or SUN CPU to be accessed by a remote user (up to 1000 feet away)
• Additional RJ45 port on the Host Adapter allows the daisy-chaining of up to 64 Host Adapters providing user access to
up to 64 CPUs
• Control up to 64 CPUs from one keyboard, mouse, and monitor without "spaghetti" wiring
• Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems
• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024x768 /60Hz @ 1000 feet (using CAT5 UT P cable- see pg 35 for details)
• Video quality adjustment is automatic providing optimum image quality
• Allows for future expansion- buy what is needed now, add more later as desired

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
r
• Choose a location for the User Station such that cables from the keyboard, mouse, and monitor will reach it.
• The CAT5 cables must be run between the locations where the Host Adapter will be connected and User Station is
positioned. Be careful to route the cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might
reduce the quality of the signal (i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, etc.) .
NOTE: The installer must ensure that all CAT5 cable between the Host Adapter and User Station, and between each Host
Adapter (if more than one) is of the straight-through type and not crossed.
• A 120V or 240V electrical supply (depending on the AC adapter being used) must be provided close enough to the position of
the User Station to plug the AC adapter into.
• All cables should be installed such that they do not cause stress on their connections to the equipment. Extended lengths of
cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that connection. Secure cables as needed to minimize
this.
• Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the CPU and devices to be extended. If other equipment is involved
whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals for that equipment for proper
disconnection and re-connection procedures before proceed ing.

Figure 8- Connect CAT5 cable to User Station
NOTE: If an RJ45 wall outlet is being used, connect the other end of the extension cable to the RJ45 wall outlet.
Power Up for the first time
Note: The user devices, monitor, and CAT5 cable should already be connected before powering up the User Station
1. Connect the AC adapter power connector to the 5VDC port on the User Station (see Fig. 9). Plug the AC adapter into a
power outlet. The yellow LED on the RJ45 connector of the User Station should illuminate, indicating that a proper power
connection has been made to it.
2. Re-connect the power cord to the CPU.
FYI: The Host Adapter is powered by the CPU.
3. Power up the monitor.
.
Figure 9- Connect the AC adapter to the User Station
4. With the User Station and Host Adapter connected via CAT5 cable, refer to "Using the PRIMUX CAT5 KVM Switch" on
page 10.
FYI: The green LED on each RJ45 connector will illuminate anytime data traffic is passing between the Host Adapter and
User Station, indicating proper CAT5 cable connection and communication. (See F ig. 9)

Daisy-Chained Host Adapters
H A - P S 2
H A - P S 2
H A - P S 2
H A - P S 2
Up to 64 Host Adapters can be connected in a daisy-chain to a create a segment of CPUs that are controlled by a single user from
a User Station. The first Host Adapter is connected to the User Station via the "OUT" port. The additional Host Adapters in the
segment will have CAT5 cable going from their "OUT" port to another Host Adapter's "IN" port to enable communications between
the user and each CPU in the system, as shown in Fig. 10. A Terminating Plug must be installed in the "IN" port of the last
Host Adapter in the segment.
NOTE: The installer must ensure that all CAT5 cable terminations between each Host Adapter are of the straight-through
type (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.) and not crossover.
NOTE: The total length of the CAT5 cable from the User Station to the last Host Adapter in th e daisy-chain mu st n ot
exceed 1000'.

Figure 10- Daisy-chained Host Adapters
Adding a Host Adapter to a segment
When adding a Host Adapter to a segment, whether at the end, or inside the chain (between two other Host Adapters connected
together), the administrator must follow some simple steps:
1. Make sure the Host Adapter being connected to a CPU is the proper type for the CPU.
CPU TYPE HOST ADAPTER MODEL
PS/2 HA-PS2
USB HA-USB
SUN HA-SUN
2. Determine what name the Host Adapter will be identified as in the Host Adapter list (should be unique to all other known hosts
in the segment).
3. Follow the installation instruction on page 3 for Host Adapters and for above for Daisy-Chained Host Adapters.
FYI: A Host Adapter can be added to the last Host Adapter in the chain, or between two existing Host Adapters.
NOTE: Do NOT attach a Host Adapter to a CPU or disconnect a Host Adapter from a CPU wh ile th e CPU is connected to
power. Disconnect the power cord first, then connect or disconnect the Host Adapter. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the Host Adapter or CPU.
4. Once the installation procedure is complete the connected CPU can be powered up.
5. This Host Adapter will be auto discovered by the master authority. It will identify itself as "(NEW PS2 HA)" , "(NEW USB
HA)", or "(NEW SUN HA)".
6. The administrator should assign a unique name to the Host Adapter (see page 23)
7. All users will have default access to the new Host Adapter unless the Administrator configures the access otherwise (see
page 26).
8. Once access controls have been set, the administrator should verify the security access to the new Host Adapter.
