CLASSVIEW INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
GETTING STARTED
To acquaint you with your ClassView unit, this manual first describes ClassView's front and rear panels. Installation and operation instructions begin with the Quick setup system wiring guide. This easy-to-understand diagram illustrates how to connect ClassView to your CPUs, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Package Contents
Your Class View package includes the ClassView unit, a power transformer, this manual, and a keyboard template. Cables are generally ordered and shipped separately.
Cable requirements
ClassView connects to a CPU with a CPU adapter cable and to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse with a Keyboard-Monitor-Mouse ada pter cable. These cables are most commonly purchased with the ClassView and will provide quick and trouble-free operation. If you wish to build your own cables, refer to the pin out information in Appendices A, B, and C. Appendix F Describes the cable part number based on the type of equipment you wish to connect. Appendix F lists the most common cables. To interconnect the units together you use coax bus cables between each box and terminators at the first unit on the bus and the last unit on the bus. Cables and accessories are available from where you purchased your ClassView. Most installations use a cable for the CPU and monitor, keyboard, and mouse which are no longer than 20 feet in length. Cable length will affect the quality of the video, depending upon which resolution you will be using. You can improve the video resolution and distance by ordering coax cables for your CPU and monitor connections, see Appendix F and G and Table 6
Video Distance Capability.
Locating the unit
The ClassView unit is best located near the CPU and associated keyboard, monitor, and mouse. This will reduce the length of the cables and provide a more cost-effective and neater installation. The total length of bus cable should not exceed 200 feet, depending upon the resolution of video used. Typically you should leave the front panel accessible in order to view the status and send signals, though once all is installed you will probably not need to see these LEDs.

Installing the ClassView
Please refer to the safety section prior to installing ClassView. This section provides instructions for the setup or your ClassView. For an illustrated example, see the Quick setup system wiring guide on the previous page.
ClassView will support the monitor, keyboard, and mouse you plan to use.
Step 1. Connecting the keyboard, monitor, and mouse
The Keyboard-Monitor-Mouse adapter cable connects your keyboard, monitor, and mouse equipment to the ClassView. Various styles of electrical connectors are used by different classes of equipment, so you should have the correct cable to match your equipment's connectors. Adapter cables are available where you purchased your ClassView. Should you prefer to build your own cables, however, pin out information is shown in Appendices A & B.
1.1 Plug the DB-25 male connector of the adapter cable into the connector
labeled "Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse" on the ClassView front panel.
1.2 Plug the adapter cable's keyboard, monitor, and mouse connectors into
your equipment's corresponding connectors.
Step 2. Connecting the CPU
A CPU adapter cable connects your computer to the ClassView. CPU adapter cables are available where you purchased your ClassView. Should you prefer to build your own cable, pin out information is shown in
Appendices A and B.
2.1 Plug the DB-25 male connector of the CPU adapter cable into the
connector labeled "Computer" on the ClassView front panel.
2.2 Plug the CPU adapter cable's monitor, keyboard, and mouse connectors
into the CPU's corresponding ports.
conditioning compressors, or machines that may create electrical noise. For best qual it y video, when exc ee di ng 20 feet use coax cable. See Table 6 Video Distance Capability and Appendix F and G for further cable information.
