1. Ensure that the power switch is in the “off” position and connect the pro-
vided AC power cord to the FiberReach Transmitter unit. Plug the cord into an
appropriate power source.
2. (Optional) For local access to the KVM Switch or server whose console
you wish to transmit, attach a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the ports
labeled “Local Access”.
3. Attach the DB25 connector on the included coaxial cable (P/N CCP20) to the
port marked, “KVM In”. Attach the keyboard, monitor, and mouse connectors
to the corresponding PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 monitor, and VGA ports on the KVM
Switch or Server whose console access you would like to transmit.
4. Power on the KVM Switch or Server. FiberReach II will emulate the neces-
sary keyboard and mouse signals while it is powered off.
5. Using an SC-Duplex connector , attach one end of a dual-strand fiber optic
cable to the port marked “Transmitter Port”. Use 9/125 micron single-mode
fiber (for distances up to 10000m/32800ft); or use either 62.5/125 or 50/125
micron multi-mode fiber (for distances up to 550m/1800ft).
6. Ensure that the power switch is in the “off” position and connect the pro-
vided AC power cord to the FiberReach Receiver unit. Plug the cord into an
appropriate power source.
7. Attach a keyboard,
CCRRTT
monitor, and mouse to the ports as labeled. Do
not connect an LCD monitor at this time; you can later connect an LCD monitor after all necessary installation and configuration steps are complete (see
Step 6 of the Administrative Setup procedures on reverse).
8. Using an SC-Duplex connector, attach the other end of the dual-strand
fiber optic cable used in Step 5 into the connector marked “Receiver Port”.
9. Power on the FiberReach II T ransmitter first; then power on the FiberReach
II Receiver. Wait 5-20 seconds as the units initiate communication. During this
time the status of LED indicators on the FiberReach Transmitter and Receiver
may change. Use the following as guidelines:
• Blinking - the FiberReach Transmitter and Receiver
are negotiating
• Solid - the link between the FiberReach Transmitter
and Receiver has been established
• Off - there is no signal between the FiberReach
Transmitter and Receiver
10. After ensuring the proper LED status, hit any key on the remote console
keyboard to initiate system communication. Note that if you reinitiate system
communication by disconnecting any fiber cable or restarting power, you will
once again need to hit any key to initiate system communication.

1. Ensure that all video cards used in the installation are set according to a
supported resolution listed in the table shown in Figure 1.
2. On the Remote Console, turn on the monitor. If necessary, you can fine
tune the video. Press the
F12 key twice to activate the FiberReach II on-screen
menu (Figure 2). The on-screen menu lets you modify Analog-Digital Clock
and Phase frequency settings, and Digital-Analog Clock frequency settings.
Normal video with the on-screen menu is shown in Figure 3.
3. Make the following adjustments in the order listed, as necessary:
• T o adjust skewed video (Figur e 4), use the < > keys to change the
value of the Dialog-Analog Clock frequency (D-A C number).
• To adjust video jitter (Figure 5), use the up and down arrow keys
to change the value of the Analog-Digital Phase frequency (A-D
P number).
• To adjust video noise (Figure 6), use the left and right arrow keys
to change the value of the Analog-Digital Clock frequency (A-D C
number).
• To restore A-D and D-A frequency values back to default, press
the
F9, F10, and F11 keys, respectively.
4. When the video quality is satisfactory, press the ESC key to exit the on-
screen menu. FiberReach II will retain your video settings for each refresh rate.
5. If through your KVM switch you are connecting to multiple servers con-
figured to different display resolution and refresh rate combinations, you must
repeat Step 3 and stabilize the video for each display setting. However, if you
have multiple servers configured to the same resolution and refresh rate, you
only need to stabilize the video for one server of each resolution and refresh
rate combination.
6. (Optional) After perfor ming all video adjustments, you may now replace
the CRT monitor at the FiberReach II Receiver with an LCD display if desired.
