(Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6)

The keyboard, video, and mouse ports on the CPU are connected to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports on the CrystalView plus using an appropriate CPU adapter cable.

Serial/audio models

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

For the serial/audio models, connect the serial DB9M port on the

CPU to the DB9F serial connector on the CrystalView Plus using a

DB9F to DB9M serial cable.

The line out of the CPU’s sound card connects to the Line in port on the CrystalView Plus. The line in connects to the CrystalView Plus line out port. No set-up is needed.

Local KVM access models

Using models with local KVM access, a second KVM station can be connected to the local unit. The KVM station’s keyboard, video monitor, and mouse cables can generally be connected directly to the local access keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports on the local unit.

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 non-powered 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 non-powered 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. (See Figure 6)
