PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATI ON
• Locations should be chosen for the mice, keyboards, and any other devices where there is also space to conn ect the Remote
and Local Units within the distance provided by the cables. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables
required.
• The CAT5 cable must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be connected. Be careful to route the
cable away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the extended signals
(i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, etc.).
• All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the equipment. Exten ded
lengths of cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that connec tion. Secure cables as needed to
minimize this.
• Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the CPU and devices to be separated. 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 proceeding.
Note: CAT5 connection cable used between NTI XTENDEX Series Local and Remote or any XTENDEX Series products
should not be run underground, outdoors or between buildings.
WARNING: Outdoor or underground runs of CAT5 cable could be dangerous and will void the warranty.

WARNING: Never connect the XTENDEX to an Ethernet card, Ethernet router, hub or switch or other
Ethernet RJ45 connector of an Ethernet device. Damage to devices connected to the Ethernet may result.
Plug-in and Boot Up
1. Connect the AC adapter power connector to the 5VDC port on the Remote Unit. (The Local Unit is powered by the CPU.)
Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet. The green LED on the RJ45 connector of the Remote Unit should illuminate,
indicating that a proper power connection has been made to it. (See Figure 4.)

2. Turn ON the CPU. The green LED on the RJ45 connector of the Local Unit should illuminate. The CPU and remote devices
should each react as if they were directly connected to each other.
Note: The yellow LED on RJ45 connector will blink anytime data traffic is passing between the Local and Remote Units,
indicating proper CAT5 cable connection and communication. (See Figure 4)
