NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders

INTRODUCTION

The XTENDEX Series CAT5 Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable one CPU to be controlled by two users, one local and one remote. The remote user can be located as much as 600 feet away from a PS/2 CPU via Category 5/5e/6 (CATx) unshielded twisted-pair cable. The local user will be located near the CPU.

Options:

Local Supporting Two Remotes- The XTENDEX series 600 foot PS/2 extender is available supporting two Remote Units from a single Local Unit if needed. See chart below for available models and features. When ordering the XTENDEX with dual Remote support, Remote Units are ordered separately.

Rackmount Modules - The XTENDEX Series CAT5 Extenders can be ordered as rackmount modules (Remote and/or Local

Units)- add “M” to the model number (i.e. ST-C5KVM-600 M ). When ordering rackmount modules, also order the ST-C6RCK-12A

Rackmount Extender Module Tray (see page 19).

The XTENDEX Series Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.

Through the use of Category 5\5e\6 cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system. Here are some of the features and ways this can benefit any workplace:

•

Allows the placement of computer peripherals (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) in a location where

only these parts are needed without having the CPU there too, taking up valuable space

•

Allows a PS/2 CPU to be accessed by both a local and remote user (up to 600 feet away)(most models-see chart below)

•

Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems

•

Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024 x 768 @ 600 feet (see page 21 for more details)

•

Compatible with all NTI switches and splitters, enabling the joining of products to create a system that

satisfies all networking needs

•

Video quality adjustment, for varying lengths of cable, is automatic (most models, see below and

page 20) providing optimum image quality

•

Audio frequency response is 20Hz to 20Khz, + 1dB (models with audio support only)

•

Digital transmission of audio signals reduces any loss in quality (models with audio support only)

This manual covers each of the XTENDEX Series CAT5-600 Extender models offered. Some features described in this manual are available in some models and not in others. The chart below shows the features supported in each:

NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders

LIMITATIONS

•

Hot-plugging of devices is supported provided devices were originally connected at power-up.

•

In order for two users to share a PS/2 CPU, the user in control must pause for at least 3 seconds before another user can take control. After the 3 second pause, either user can take control of the CPU.

For models with RS232 support:

•

The RS232 ports on the Local and Remote Units will support serial devices other than touchscreen monitors as follows:

•

2 simple devices (i.e. mice) connected to each unit, or

•

1 complex device (i.e. serial modem, RS232 command port on an NTI switch) connected to

either the Remote or Local Unit.

•

In order for two users to share a PS/2 CPU, the user in control must pause for at least 3 seconds before another user can take control. After the 3 second pause, either user can take control of the CPU.

•

The RS232 port supports all baud rates up to 56K bits per second and the attached CPU must be configured accordingly.

For models with audio support:

•

The audio input of the XTENDEX with audio support is compatible with the following standard CPU audio outputs:

•

Line out - typically lime green in color

•

Speaker out- typically orange in color

•

Headphone out- typically located on the CD-ROM

•

To connect the ST-C5SVA-600 to a CPU, it may be necessary to use an RCA phono-to-3.5mm stereo jack adapter

•

The audio output of the XTENDEX with audio support is compatible with self-powered stereo speakers.

7

NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

•

Locations should be chosen for the monitors, mice, and keyboards that also have space to connect the Remote and Local

Units within the distance provided by the cables. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables required.

•

The CATX cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be connected. Be careful to route the cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the video signal

(i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, etc.).

•

All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the equipment. Extended lengths of cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that connection. Secure cables as needed to minimize this.

•

Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the CPU and monitors to be separated. If other equipment is involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals for that equipment for proper disconnection and re-connection procedures before proceeding.

•

Local and Remote Units should be grounded through either a display or source that uses a 3-prong power cord. If only one unit is grounded, shielded CAT5 cable should be used.

Note: CATX connection cable used between NTI XTENDEX Series Local and Remote or any XTENDEX Series products should not be run underground, outdoors or between buildings.

WARNING: Outdoor or underground runs of CATX cable could be dangerous and will void the warranty.

External Ground

This product is equipped with grounding hardware to prevent interference from sources of electrical noise that could interfere with the normal operation of the XTENDEX or damage it. Use either the crimp-on lug or solder terminal to secure a properly grounded wire (connected to earth ground) to the

XTENDEX.

Failure to make this connection may result in poor video quality at the connected monitor(s).

VIDEO QUALITY

Automatic Video Quality Adjustment

(see chart on page 1)

Video quality adjustment is done automatically to assure the image is as clear as possible.

Note: When the cable is longer than 300 feet some colored lines can be seen at the black-to-white transitions. This is a

normal behavior and is caused by the different twisting rates of each pair of wires in the CATx cable.

Manual Video Quality Adjustment

(see chart on page 1)

It is possible that on initial startup the image on the monitor will not be as crisp as the image normally is. This is due to the frequency characteristics of the CATx cable. It may be necessary to press the "+" or "-" buttons (see Figure 23) until the image is crisp and clear. Press the "+" button if the image is not crisp and clear enough. Press the "-" button if the image has been over-corrected (such that horizontal lines appear to trail or shadow at the edge of an open window). A momentary press of either button will make a minor change in the image. If either button is pressed and held, the changes made will be gradual and continuous. Ultimately, the image quality should improve to a satisfactory level. Once the adjustment is made, it should not be necessary to change it again, as the new settings are stored in memory and become the default settings with each startup.

Note: When the cable is longer than 300 feet some colored lines can be seen at the black-to-white transitions. This is a normal behavior and is caused by the different twisting rates of each pair of wires in the CATx cable.

If the image still lacks definition, configuration adjustments may need to be made to the attached video display equipment. This is a problem most often seen in LCD displays. Check the manual for the equipment having the poor display and look for an "autoadjust" or "auto-configure" feature. Once this is done, you may need to repeat the Video Quality Adjustment procedure described above to achieve the best image.

Command Mode

Depending upon your unit’s date of manufacture, models ST-C5KVM-600, ST-C5KVMA-600 and ST-C5KVMRS-600 may be enabled with a Command Mode feature to perform the following:

¾ fine adjustment of the general video quality

¾ update DDC information between the monitor(s) and CPU

Most of the video quality adjustment is automatic at power ON, but if some adjustment is necessary, this can be done using the keyboard attached to the Remote Unit.

DDC information allows the CPU to detect the video capability of your monitor by transferring EDID data from your monitor to the

CPU. DDC information can be updated from either the keyboard at the Local Unit, or at the Remote Unit.

To determine if your extender has this feature , try entering Command Mode (below) from the keyboard attached to the Local

Unit. If Command Mode is present, the three keyboard LEDs (NumLock, CapsLock, and ScrollLock) will blink at the same time to indicate entrance into Command Mode. If the feature is not present, then the section “Automatic EDID Updates” under “Other

DDC Support” applies to your KVM extender.

Enter Command Mode

The user can enter Command Mode using any of three different methods;

Method 1

1. Press and hold the left < Shift> key

2.

Press the right < Shift> key

3. Release both keys

Method 2

Press and release the < Scroll Lock > key twice fast (press twice within 1 second)

Method 3

Press and release the left < Shift > key twice fast, then press and release the < Esc > key once , all within 2

seconds

The three keyboard LEDs (NumLock, CapsLock, and ScrollLock) will blink at the same time to indicate entrance into Command

Mode.

General Video Quality Adjustment

Command Mode opens into General Video Quality Adjustment mode. To fine tune the general video quality, press the < Left

Arrow> or < Right Arrow> keys until the desired improvement in the display has been achieved.

Note: General Video Quality Adjustment mode is provided to improve video quality at the remote monitor. Executing this mode from Command Mode when using the keyboard attached to the local unit will have no effect.

Update DDC at Remote

To update DDC information based on the monitor connected to the Remote Unit, press <D> to enter Remote DDC information.

The CapsLock LED will illuminate solid, t he NumLock and ScrollLock LEDs will be OFF . P ress the < Left Arrow> or <Right

Arrow> key to cause DDC information to be updated. When the update is complete (less than one second), the unit will return to

General Video Quality Adjustment mode (the three keyboard LEDs will blink at the same time).

Update DDC at Local

To update DDC information based on the monitor connected to the Local Unit, press < C > to enter Local DDC information. The

CapsLock LED will illuminate solid, t he NumLock and ScrollLock LEDs will be OFF . P ress the < Left Arrow> or < Right

Arrow> key to cause DDC information to be updated. When the update is complete (approximately seven seconds), the unit will return to General Video Quality Adjustment mode (the three keyboard LEDs will blink at the same time).

Note: It is recommended that the monitors connected to the Remote and Local units be of the same make and model.

26

NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders

Mix DDC

To update DDC information based on resolution characteristics common to the monitors connected to the Local and Remote units, press < N > to enter DDC information from both. The CapsLock LED will illuminate solid, t he NumLock and ScrollLock LEDs will be OFF . P ress the < Left Arrow> or < Right Arrow> key to cause DDC information to be updated. When the update is complete (approximately seven seconds), the unit will return to General Video Quality Adjustment mode (the three keyboard LEDs will blink at the same time).

Reset Defaults

Press the< A> key (while in Command Mode) to reset the fine tuning to default settings. Once settings have been reset, the user will automatically return to General Video Quality Adjustment mode.

Exit Command Mode

Press the < Esc> key to exit Command Mode and return to normal operation. All keyboard LEDs will return to current keyboard

LED state.

Note: Command Mode will time out and return to normal operation on its own after 7 seconds when operated from the

Local keyboard.

FYI: Video quality will be limited by several factors. Some factors include the quality and type of CAT5 cable being used, the length of cable run, the quality of the monitor, the resolution setting of the monitor, and the quality of the video card used in the video source. If the desired level of image clarity cannot be achieved by making the adjustments described in this section, consider the following possible adjustments that can be made:

•

Improve the quality of cable used -CAT5,5e,or 6 (CAT5e unshielded (UTP) cable will provide the best

performance)

•

Use unshielded cable (UTP) instead of shielded cable (STP)

•

Shorten the length of the cable between the remote and local

•

Reduce the resolution setting on the monitor used

•

Use a higher quality video card in the video source

Other DDC Support

Automatic EDID Updates

Applicable to models without keyboard and mouse support and rackmount models (ST-C5xxxx-600M).

The 15HD connector on many models provides local video as well as DDC support. The EDID data is updated automatically at initial power-ON or whenever a different monitor is connected to the Local Unit. DDC is only updated from the monitor connected to the Local Unit.

For that reason, it is recommended that the monitor connected to the Remote and Local Units be the same model. The Local Unit and the monitor must both be powered-ON prior to the CPU in order to update the EDID data.

Note: The ST-C5xxx-L-600M Local Unit will not store the EDID data. A monitor must be connected to the Local Unit each time the CPU is power cycled in order for EDID data to remain current.

Note: When an ST-C5KVM(xx)-R-600 Remote Unit is used with an ST-C5KVM(xx)-L-600M (Rackmount Local Unit),

Automatic EDID Update will work as described above. DDC Update via Command Mode (as described on the previous page) will not be supported at the Remote Unit.

27

NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders

Manual EDID Capture

Applicable to ST-2C5xxxx-L-600 models only.

The 15HD connector on the ST-2C5V(A)-L-600 provides only support for DDC, no video. The ST-2C5V(A)-L-600 Local Unit includes a button labeled “DDC Update” to be pressed in order to record and save EDID data.

To capture EDID data;

1. Connect a monitor to the 15HD connector on the Local Unit labeled “EDID Capture”.

2. Power ON both the monitor and Local Units.

3. Press the button labeled “DDC Update” with a sharp object.

The capture will start right away and the green LED of the “CAT5 Remote 1” connector will turn OFF while the EDID data is transferred. The green LED will illuminate again once the transfer is complete and the unit is ready for normal use. The

ST-2C5V(A)-L-600 Local Unit will save the EDID data and present that information to the CPU any time the CPU is power-cycled.

Note: The 15HD connector on the ST-2C5V(A)-L-600 is only used for capturing EDID data. It is not a video port for viewing local video.

Figure 24- DDC Update Button on Local with Dual Remote Support

When used, the monitors connected to both Remote Units should be the same model. If necessary, the Local Unit can be connected to the monitor at the site of the remote and powered by the power supply at the remote location. Following the process described above, EDID data can be recorded and the Local Unit relocated to the site of the CPU.

Figure 25- Connect remote monitor for EDID capture

Applicable to ST-C5xxxx-L-600 models only.

The 15HD connector on the ST-C5V, -C5VA and –C5VRS-L-600 supports DDC and video. If your unit includes a “DDC Update” button, it can be pressed in order to retrieve EDID from the

Remote and Local monitor and forward it to the CPU. Additionally, the ST-C5Vxx-L-600 Local

Unit will save the EDID data and present that information to the CPU any time the CPU is power-cycled. The EDID capture method is the same as described above.

28

NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders

More About DDC

The recording and DDC transfer of EDID data from the monitor(s) enables the CPU to know what resolution settings are compatible with the monitor(s) connected. Once this data is provided to the CPU, your graphics card will either automatically update to the best resolution available (some models of graphic cards, not all), or you will need to choose from the available settings. Bear in mind, the choices of settings compatible with the monitors are not necessarily all going to be usable. If the length of CATx cable in your installation is too long for the selected resolution, the image at the Remote Unit monitor may not be viewable. Be sure to select a resolution setting that your installation will support. For supported combinations, see the chart on page 30.

•

Electrical power system is very noisy, particularly the ground.

•

The CATx cable is not properly connected.

The keyboard may be in the wrong mode.

•

Keyboard cable or mouse cable are loose or reversed

•

CATx cable is too long

Only one IBM Scroll Point mouse is connected at either the Local or

Remote unit

Signal is being skewed by the CATx cable and not being received correctly by the monitor .

With the cables all properly connected, reboot the CPU.

Reroute CATx cable if possible.

•

Make sure the interconnection cable is not near any power lines.

•

Check cable connections. Make sure they are snappedin properly and completely.
