Thinklogical’s™ VX160 KVM Matrix Switch features
redundant Power Supplies and Controller Modules for
uninterrupted performance, even during system
reconfiguration, updates or debug. The VX160 remains
fully functional with only one Power Supply installed or with
one Controller activated.
NOTE: When using a single Controller, the module on the
left (Primary) must be used.

STEP 1: Connect your Q-4300 Receiver
Modules to the VX160 using multi-mode fiber-
optic cables (up to 1000 meters). Connect L1 to
any Transmit Port and L2 to the same numbered
Receive Port. Do the same for each of the four
Receiver modules.
STEP 2: Install the Right Power
Supply Module AC Power Cord
(Left receptacle) and the Left Power
Supply Module AC Power Cord
(Right receptacle). Plug both
Receiver AC Cords into a standard
AC source. On the front of the
chassis, turn ON the Right and Left
Power Supply Modules.
