2.2 System Setup

To install your DDXI/LC - DVI KVM Extender system:

1. Switch off all devices.

2. Connect your keyboard, monitor(s) and mouse to the Remote unit as shown below.

These ports may also be attached to the CPU side of a KVM switch in order to have a Remote CPU. However, if you are attempting to use the extender between cascaded KVM switches this may not work. Please contact Technical

Support to discuss your application.

3. Connect the interconnect cable to the INTERCONNECT socket(s) as shown.

4. Connect the 6V power supply to power the unit.

Only use the power supply originally supplied with this equipment or a manufacturer-approved replacement.

5. Using the supplied CPU KVM cable(s), connect the keyboard, monitor(s) and mouse connectors on the computer (or KVM switch) to the corresponding connectors on the Local unit as shown below.

Ensure that you attach the keyboard and mouse connectors to the correct ports. The keyboard connector is purple; the mouse connector is green.

If your PC does not have a PS/2 mouse port, an active serial converter will be required

6. For a dual access system, connect the keyboard, mouse and monitor for the Local console to the appropriate ports on the Local unit. The ports may also be used to feed into a KVM switch.

7. Connect the Interconnection cable from the Remote unit to the INTERCONNECT socket on the Local unit as shown below.

8. Power up the system.

3.1 Diagnostic LEDs

Each Extender unit is fitted with four indicator LEDs: Communication Error, Link Status, Power and Video Signal.

The Communication Error is located at the back of the local and remote unit near the Interconnect sockets. The Link Status and the Video OK LED’s are located on the left and the right hand side of the DVI connector. The Power LED is next to the PS2 connector.

As an example, the location of the LEDs is shown below for K436-1W Remote and Local unit:

4 Device Control

If you are using the DVI output from your video card and the DVI input to a TFT monitor, no adjustment should be required. In other cases, when the video signal is converted between analog and digital formats, either by the Local unit and/or the monitor, you may need to optimize the video signal using the Extender’s on-screen display (OSD).
