DVI-D FIBER KVM-EXTENDER

Welcome to the DVI-D Fiber KVM-Extender

Family!

Thank you for purchasing an DVI-D Fiber KVM-Extender! We appreciate your business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your enhanced RGB Graphic system will save you money, time, and effort.

That’s because our DVI-D Fiber KVM-Extender is all about breaking away from the traditional model of attaching a new display to DVI graphic source. Using the DVI-D Fiber

KVM-Extender, you can remotely locate monitor, keyboard and mouse up to 140m away from your CPU.

Wherever long distances are required, e.g. airports, industrial plants, call- centres or in distributed computer centres, the DVI-D Fiber KVM-Extender is the best way, to solve all problems in remotely locating your console. 4 different types are available: Singlehead and

Dualhead devices for PS2 keyboard/mouse and Singlehead and Dualhead devices for USB keyboard/mouse.

This manual will tell you all about your new DVI-D Fiber KVM-Extender, including how to install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Converter, see Chapter 2. The

OVERVIEW

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

A Fiber KVM Extender is mainly used, to extend the maximum distance between a CPU and his Keyboard / Monitor / Mouse considerably. In addition they are beneficial in installations in electromagnetic hazardous environments (EMI). Normal Keyboard-/

Monitor-/ Mouse extender cables (and Extender using traditional cables) cannot go so far and EMI interferences may reduce the maximum distance and/or reliability. Using a

DVI-D Fiber Extender system, these limitations are past. Retain your CPU in a secure rack cabinet or data center while accessing from a 140m remotely located place.

A basic KVM extension system comprises a Local unit (transmitter) and a Remote unit

(receiver). The Local unit connects directly to the computer (or a KVM switch system) using the supplied cable(s). The user console (keyboard, mouse and monitor) attaches to the

Remote unit. The Remote and Local units communicate video and data information along the interconnecting cable. Local units offer dual access, allowing the connection of a second user console close to the computer.

2.6 How to Use This Guide

This guide describes the installation and configuration of the DVI-D Fiber – Extender Series.

Although the connection and operation of the system is relatively straightforward, you should consider the following before getting started:

Connection & Compatibility

If you have purchased an Extender Kit, this will contain all the cables required to connect the

Local unit to your PC or KVM switch. Please see also: Package Contents (page 15)

For information about connection and installation, see Interconnection Cable

Requirements, page 17.

DDC Information

Normally it is not necessary to make any adjustments to the DVI-D Fiber KVM-Extender.

However, in some circumstances, it may be necessary to redefine the source of DDC

Information for the CPU. By default, the DVI-D Fiber KVM-Extender uses its own internal

DDC table. If this setting does not satisfy your requirements, the DDC table can either be switched to the locally attached screen or could be downloaded from remotely located screen and stored in the internal DDC table.

To modify the DDC-Setup, see Service Setup (page 31).

Selecting the moment of switching to the next frame

The transmission of screen data in not synchronous to the screen change of the graphic card.

Normally, the transmission is terminated during displaying a frame on the screen. If the device switches to the new frame during the displaying period of the old frame (somewhere on the screen), it’s possible, that you can see horizontal screen breaks in the moment of switching (default). On the other hand the device must idle, until the actual frame is displayed completely (until VSYNC) -> the number of frames per second transmitted sinks.

To modify the switching behaviour, see Service Setup (page 31).

Selection of Color reduction for transfer acceleration

You can select, whether always 24 Bit colors (=full color depth) are transmitted or whether the compression algorithm automatically switches between 16 and 24 Bit colors to accelerate the data transfer (default). Normally the difference between 24 Bit and 16 Bit is not recognizable but under some special circumstances e.g. in photo processing installations.

However, the automatic color switching enhances the count of frames, transmitted per second, fixed 24 Bit color depth gives smooth color grades under all circumstances. Please select to you choice the better mode.

To modify the color depth, see Service Setup (page 31).

Compatibility

Devices with PS2 connectors are NOT compatible to devices with USB connectors.

INSTALLATION

3.2 Interconnection Cable Requirements

To connect the Local and Remote units you will need:

•

DVI, PS2-Keyboard, PS2-Mouse: Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to your

CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices

ACS2028A + ACS2228A

•

DVI, USB-Keyboard, USB-Mouse: Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to your

CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices

ACS4022A + ACS4222A

•

DVI: Connect the supplied DVI CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.).

Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices ACS2228A + ACS4222A

•

Fiber Cable: Two strands of fiber are required for singlehead devices, four strands for

Dualhead devices.

Please note, that the allowed distance will depend on device type AND on used fiber type.

•

Recommended cables:

ACSxxxxA-MM: Multimode type 50/125µ allowed distance app. 400m (1,300ft)

ACSxxxxA-MM: Multimode type 62.5/125µ allowed distance app. 200m (650ft)

ACSxxxxA-SM: Singlemode type 9/125µ allowed distance app. 10km (32,750ft)

A point to point connection is required. Having one or more patch panels in the line is possible and allowed. Not allowed is a connection from the

Fiber link interface (LC) to any other products, especially telecommunications or network equipment.

Our experiences show, that Singlemode devices regularly work well on

Multimode Fibers where vice versa it will never do. In addition we found, that Singlemode devices on Multimode fibers may extend the allowed distance on Multimode fibers to twice the regular length. Anyway this cannot be guaranteed and must be evaluated by the end-user at his own expense.

•

Power Supply

Connect the supplied 5V/DC power supplies to the Plug terminal on the rear of both

Local and Remote units.

4.1 Setup at the Local Unit

After unscrewing and opening the upper shell, please place the device in this orientation: with the Fiber connectors to the right and the electrical connectors to the left.

The main PCB then will look like this: JP1, JP2, JP3

Use the diagram to locate jumpers.

DDC

You can select, whether the DDC is taken from internal DDC table or from local monitor or the DDC information could be downloaded from remote monitor and stored into internal table.

From internal Table

From local Monitor

Loading the DDC Information from the

Remote Monitor into the internal DDC

Table (see also below: Loading the DDC

Information from the Remote Monitor into the internal DDC Table) (default)

32

Loading the DDC Information from the Remote Monitor into the internal DDC Table

To load the DDC Information from the Remote Monitor into the internal DDC Table, please proceed the following steps:

•

Power up the CPU, the Local Unit, the Remote (cables to the CPU connected) and the

Monitor

•

Pull the Monitor Cable(s) from the Remote Unit (Dualhead devices: BOTH Monitors!)

•

Switch ON the Monitor(s) (if switched OFF, Dualhead devices: BOTH Monitors!)

•

Plug the Video-Cable of the Remote Monitor(s) into the remote unit (Remote and Local

Unit powered! - Dualhead devices: BOTH Monitors!)

•

The DDC Information of the Remote Monitor(s) is read automatically, transferred to the

Local Unit and stored into the DDC-EPROM

•

After a successful programming of the DDC EPROM, the ‚Video-OK’ LED at the

Local Unit is blinking rapidly for approx. 1 second

•

Done

Selection of Color depth

You can select, whether 16/24Bit AUTOSELECT colors (=64K/16M colors) are transmitted

(default) or 24Bit colors (=16M colors). AUTOSELECT means, that as far as the screen content allows high data compression, 24Bits are transmitted. When the video data do not allow to reduce data enough, the colors are automatically reduced to 16Bit. This is autoselected in each line of the screen picture at any time. This mode makes the best compromise between speed and color depth.

Please select 24Bit, if you want to have under all circumstances highest colours (but perhaps with reduced frame rates).

LED) at the Local unit illuminated (see page 29)? If not, the internal power-supply may be damaged or there may be an internal error.

Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote

Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated (see page 29)? If not, there may be a problem with the Interconnection cable:

Are there Errors through data transmission over CATX Cable (Cable too long, too high attenuation or too much EMI interference )? Is the Data Error LED illuminated or blinking (see page 29)? If yes, check cable length and environment.

Video Okay LED is dark: CPU does not provide a video signal – Check settings of the graphic card. Try out, connecting a monitor to the local output, to see, whether there is a signal or not.

‘Stepping’ pictures on displaying movies

On high resolutions, the amount of data transmitted each second expires the capability of the data link. Therefore the data have to be reduced before transmitting. This is done in a first step by a so called RLE (=Run Length

Encoding) algorithm. If this (loss less) compression does not reach the required amount, frames are dropped: The frame actually transmitted is transmitted completely even if the graphic card generates a new frame. This new frame is discarded. Because of this behaviour, the count of frames per second (fps) may be reduced to a value, where ‘stepping’ pictures are seen.

How to solve the problem: Please use a lower resolution, which is slightly higher than the resolution of the recorded movie. Please see, that most (actual) movies do have only a low resolution of approx. 720x480 (NTSC) or 704x576 (PAL) or even

320x256 (VHS). If the monitor provides a higher resolution, it may provide the scaling of the pictures. The picture quality is the same, if the monitor or the CPU does the scaling.

How to solve the problem: Set the color depth to 16/24Bit AUTOSELECT. On moving pictures, the human eye is not able, to see differences between so many colors. A reduction to 16Bit reduces the amount of data without (visible) effects.

PS2-Keyboard

The PC boots fine with no error messages but the keyboard does not work at all

Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.

35


Try a different model of keyboard. If the new keyboard works then original one may be incompatible

Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote

Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated (see page 29)?

The other console is active. Claim control by any keyboard action or by pressing left and right mouse buttons simultaneously.

PS2-Mouse

A mouse cursor appears on the screen, but the mouse does not work


Try a different model of mouse

You have connected the Local unit while the CPU was running. Therefore you have connected first the keyboard cable and then the mouse cable. Disconnect the keyboard cable and connect it again. Please reboot you CPU if the mouse is still not running.

The other console is active. Claim control by any keyboard action or by pressing left and right mouse buttons simultaneously.

The system does not detect a PS/2 mouse, or the application cannot find the mouse.


Ensure that the Local Unit is connected to the PC keyboard port to provide power.

You have plugged keyboard and mouse cable to the CPU ports while the CPU was powered. There you first have plugged the Keybord cable, then the Mouse cable.

Please unplug and replug the keyboard cable. If the mouse still does not work, please reboot the CPU: The K/M sub electronics are powered by the CPU keyboard port. If you first plug in the keyboard cable, the circuit tries to find a mouse port. If it fails, it disables the mouse functionality.

USB-Keyboard/USB-Mouse

Your USB-keyboard/USB-mouse does not work

Although we tried to design the devices as transparent as possible, we can’t ensure that all devices are running. Please ask Technical Support for a list of tested devices.

Your mouse is ‘stepping’ on your screen

On high resolutions, the amount of data transmitted each second expires the capability of the data link. Therefore the data have to be reduced before transmitting. This is done in a first step by a so called RLE (=Run Length

Encoding) algorithm. If this (loss less) compression does not reach the required amount, frames are dropped: Because of this, ‘stepping’ mouse movements are seen.

How to solve the problem: Please use a lower resolution or use a desktop background which is better suitable for compression: Avoid photos for background

36

TROUBLESHOOTING or horizontally graduated colors – better use monochrome backgrounds. They allow higher compression -> higher frame rates.

Your mouse is moving like ‘hanging on a rubber band’

This problem derives from different single problems, which accumulate to a delay between the true mouse movement and displaying the movement of the mouse pointer on the screen. Depending to our measurements, a delay of approx. 100-

150msec are recognized as disturbing.

The total delay comes from (time values are approx. values):

•

5 to 15msec for mouse movement and data transmission to CPU

•

50 to 70msec data processing time in the CPU until the changed data reach the graphic card output connector

•

15 to 45mcec getting the graphic data into the local unit of the extender system and transmitting to the remote unit (60 to 20fps)

•

10 to 100msec data processing time in the display until the data are displayed on the screen (where 15msec normally are only reacht by

CRT tubes)

In total there are delay times between 85 and up to 230msec possible, where most of this delay is NOT caused by the extender system (Extender based delay is 5 to

15msec data transfer to the CPU and 15 to 45msec frame transfer to the remote unit

– in total 20 to 60mesec. Depending to our experiences, even a step from 100msec delay to 140msec (i.e. by inserting an extender system to a CPU-monitor link) may cause visible effects.

Please note, that even a monitor directly connected to a CPU has a delay of 70 to

175msec. So (under special conditions) even the bare CPU/monitor link shows this

‘rubber band behaviour’. If you now insert an extender system, the problem may occur and is (in false) dedicated to the extender system, where it only gives a small part to the total problem

How to solve the problem: Use a display with a low delay time (NOTE: This is

NOT the reaction time indicated by the manufacturer. This reaction time is only the time the display needs, to switch a black pixel to get white or vice versa, but not how long it takes from receiving the data on the connector until they are displayed on the screen.) Please use a lower resolution or use a desktop background which is better suitable for compression: Avoid photos for background or horizontally graduated colors – better use monochrome backgrounds. They allow higher compression -> higher frame rates. If – and only if the link has frame dropping, a reduction from 30fps to 60fps saves 17msec and from 20fps to 60fps saves 34msec.

APPENDIX C: AUDIO/SERIAL SUPPORT

Appendix C: Audio/Serial Support

Single head KVM devices:

The Audio/Serial allows bi-directional stereo audio and a full-duplex serial data link to be sent across the regular interconnection cable in addition to keyboard, mouse and DVI video.

Dual head KVM devices and Media devices (no USB):

The Audio/Serial allows bi-directional stereo audio and a 3 wire (Tx/Rx - XON/XOFF) serial data link to be sent across the regular interconnection cable in addition to keyboard, mouse and DVI video.

To set up the extender’s audio and serial link, please follow all of the instructions detailed in this appendix. If you have any questions, contact Technical Support.

Serial Interface - Set Up and Operation

No setting up or user adjustments are required. Please note that the serial link is always active.

Please bear in mind that the Remote Unit’s serial port is wired as DTE (i.e. the same as that on a PC). To connect a serial printer (or other DTE rather than DCE device) to the Remote

Unit, you will need a Null-Modem (crossover) cable between the Remote Unit and the printer.

A serial touch screen may be plugged directly into the Remote Unit.

Please note, that media- and Dual head KVM Extender support a 3-wire- connection only (Tx/Rx/GND). Attached devices must support software handshake (XON(XOFF).

Serial Interface - Handling Multiple Serial Devices (Singlehead KVM devices only!)

The extender’s serial interface transmits/receives six signals (3 signals in each direction).

Normally four of these signals are used for hardware handshaking (in addition to TX & RX).

However, because each handshaking line can support signals up to 19,200 Baud it is possible to configure the serial interface to handle up to three simple 2-wire (Tx/Rx only) serial links.

Select XON/XOFF software flow control on the remote device and PC.

To do this you will need to construct a custom breakout cable. Please contact technical support for further information.

45


Audio Interface - Set Up and Operation

The audio interface is line-level and is designed to take the output from a sound card (or other line-level) source and be connected to a set of powered speakers at the other end of the link.

Stereo audio may be transmitted either way across the link (simultaneously). No set up is required unless a microphone is connected to the remote unit.

Connect up the extender as follows:

Take the line-level output from your sound card (green connector) and connect to ‘Line In’ on the extender.

A set of powered speakers may be connected directly to ‘Line Out’ at the opposite end of the link.

Audio Interface - Using a Microphone

A microphone may be plugged into the ‘Line In’ connector on the Remote Unit.

There are two ways of setting up a microphone:

•

The Local Unit’s ‘Line Out’ connection should normally be wired to the microphone input (Red) on your sound card. The sound card should then be set up to provide additional amplification (+20dB). This is the preferred connection method.

•

Alternatively, the Remote Unit itself can provide microphone amplification. To set this, open up the Remote Unit and locate the jumper labeled ‘MIC’ on the daughter board.

Connect this jumper across the pins. The Local Unit’s ‘Line Out’ connection should then be wired to ‘Line In’ (Blue) on your sound card.

If your microphone is already amplified, follow the second method but DO NOT install the amplification jumper in the Remote Unit.

46
