NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders
INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX Series CAT5 Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable one CPU to be controlled by two users, one local and
one remote. The remote user can be located as much as 600 feet away from a PS/2 CPU via Category 5 unshielded twistedpair cable. The local user will be located near the CPU.
Option:
Rackmount Modules- The XTENDEX Series CAT5 Extenders can be ordered as rackmount modules (Remote and/or Local
Units)- add “M” to the model number (i.e. ST-C5KVM-600M). When ordering rackmount modules, also order the ST-C5RCK-12
Rackmount Extender Module Tray (see page 16).
The XTENDEX Series Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.
Through the use of Category 5 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 computer peripherals (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) in a location where
only these parts are needed without having the CPU there too, taking up valuable space
• Allows a PS/2 CPU to be accessed by both a local and remote user (up to 600 feet away)
• Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems
• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024 x 768 @ 600 feet (see page 21 for more details)
• Compatible with all NTI switches and splitters, enabling the joining of products to create a system that
satisfies all networking needs
• Video quality adjustment, for varying lengths of cable, is automatic (most models, see below and
page 20) providing optimum image quality
• Audio frequency response is 20Hz to 20Khz, +
• Digital transmission of audio signals reduces any loss in quality (models with audio support only)
This manual covers each of the XTENDEX Series CAT5-600 Extender models offered. Some features described in this manual
are available in some models and not in others. The chart below shows the features supported in each:

LIMITATIONS
• Hot-plugging of devices is supported provided devices were originally connected at power-up.
• In order for two users to share a PS/2 CPU, the user in control must pause for at least 3 seconds before another user can
take control. After the 3 second pause, either user can take control of the CPU.
For models with RS232 support:
• The RS232 ports on the Local and Remote Units will support serial devices other than touchscreen monitors as follows:
• 2 simple devices (i.e. mice) connected to each
• 1 complex device (i.e. serial modem, RS232 command port on an NTI switch) connected to
either
•In order for two users to share a PS/2 CPU, the user in control must pause for at least 3 seconds before another user can
take control. After the 3 second pause, either user can take control of the CPU.
•The RS232 port supports all baud rates up to 56K bits per second and the attached CPU must be configured accordingly.
For models with audio support:
• The audio input of the XTENDEX with audio support is compatible with the following standard CPU audio outputs:
• To connect the ST-C5SVA-600 to a CPU, it may be necessary to use an RCA phono-to-3.5mm stereo jack adapter
• The audio output of the XTENDEX with audio support is compatible with self-powered stereo speakers.
the Remote or Local Unit.
• Line out - typically lime green in color
• Speaker out- typically orange in color
• Headphone out- typically located on the CD-ROM
unit, or
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
•Locations should be chosen for the monitors, mice, and keyboards that also have space to connect 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 cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be connected. Be careful to route the
cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the video signal
(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. 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 monitors 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.

Rackmount Modules (optional)
If ST-C5-600M Series XTENDEX rackmount modules (Local and/or Remote modules) are being installed, then an ST-C5RCK-12
Rackmount Extender Module Tray must be used (sold separately) to mount the modules to a RACK. The ST-C5RCK-12
provides a convenient mounting method for up to 12 Local and /or Remote XTENDEX modules.
Note: Rackmount Local modules are compatible with rackmount Remote modules or desktop Remote units.
Mount the ST-C5RCK-12 Rackmount Extender Module Tray
1. The ST-C5RCK-12 Rackmount Extender Module Tray was designed to be directly mounted in a rack. It includes a mounting
flange to make attachment easy.
2. Install 4 cage nuts (supplied) to the rack in locations that line up with the holes in the mounting flange on the tray.
Then secure the tray to the rack using four #10-32 x 3/4” screws (supplied). Be sure to tighten all mounting screws securely.

Plug-in and Boot Up
1. Plug the power cord(s) from the monitor(s) into power outlet(s).
2. Connect the AC adapter power connectors to the 9VDC ports on the Remote and Local Units. (AC adapter shown in
Figure 21)
3. Plug the AC adapters into power outlets. The “Power” LED (yellow) on the CAT5 connector of each unit should illuminate,
indicating that a proper power connection has been made.
4. Turn ON the CPU and monitor(s). The CPU and monitor(s) should each react as if they were directly connected to each
other. The green “Traffic” LEDs on the Remote and Local Units (see Figure 20) should blink indicating there is proper
communication between them.
Note: A loss of signal (blank screen) may be experienced for an instant during the automatic video quality adjustment
process after powering-up. This may also occur if the XTENDEX senses a loss of or weak signal connection in the
CAT5 cable.

VIDEO QUALITY
Automatic Video Quality Adjustment(see chart on page 1)
Video quality adjustment is done automatically to assure the image is as clear as possible.
Note: When the cable is longer than 300 feet some colored lines can be seen at the black-to-white transitions. This is a
normal behavior and is caused by the different twisting rates of each pair of wires in the CAT5 cable.
Manual Video Quality Adjustment (see chart on page 1)
It is possible that on initial startup the image on the monitor will not be as crisp as the image normally is. This is due to the
frequency characteristics of the CAT5 cable. It may be necessary to press the "+" or "-" buttons (see Figure 22) until the image
is crisp and clear. Press the "+" button if the image is not crisp and clear enough. Press the "-" button if the image has been
over-corrected (such that horizontal lines appear to trail or shadow at the edge of an open window). A momentary press of either
button will make a minor change in the image. If either button is pressed and held, the changes made will be gradual and
continuous. Ultimately, the image quality should improve to a satisfactory level. Once the adjustment is made, it should not be
necessary to change it again, as the new settings are stored in memory and become the default settings with each startup.
Note: When the cable is longer than 300 feet some colored lines can be seen at the black-to-white transitions. This is a
normal behavior and is caused by the different twisting rates of each pair of wires in the CAT5 cable.

If the image still lacks definition, configuration adjustments may need to be made to the attached video display equipment. This is
a problem most often seen in LCD displays. Check the manual for the equipment having the poor display and look for an "autoadjust" or "auto-configure" feature. Once this is done, you may need to repeat the Video Quality Adjustment procedure
described above to achieve the best image.
