On the remote unit, the KVM station’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse cables are connected directly to the CrystalView Plus keyboard, monitor, and mouse connectors. Connect a second monitor to view the second video source.

Serial/audio models

(Refer to page 10 for a description of serial and audio cabling)

Serial port

The serial port on all models is a DB9F on the local unit and DB9M on the remote unit. The serial port on the remote unit is the same as the DB9M serial connector on your computer. Serial devices such as Touchscreens can connect directly to the serial port on the remote unit

Audio ports

A set of powered computer speakers can connect directly to the CrystalView

Plus remote unit’s line level audio out connector. A powered or nonpowered microphone can connect to the Line level audio in (MIC) connector.

If you are using a non-powered microphone on the Remote Unit, install the

“MIC” jumper, if needed, to provide additional amplification.

DO NOT INSTALL THE “MIC” JUMPER IF USING A

POWERED MICROPHONE.

(See page 10 for alternative ways to connect and install a powered or nonpowered microphone)

Local unit to Remote unit cabling

Connect up to 1,000 feet of CAT-x cable from the Local Units RJ45 front panel connector to the Remote Units RJ45 front panel connector. Connect a second CAT-x cable from the Local Unit to the Remote unit for the second video source. (See Figure 7)
