INTRODUCTION
The ST-C5USBV-300 USB Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable the relocation of a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse from a USB CPU or NTI USB KVM switch by as much as 300 feet via CAT5 cable in addition to having a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse connected locally. It is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance. Through the use of Category 5 shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable (STP/UTP) or Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP), it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system.
Options:
Audio Support - The ST-C5USBV-300 can be ordered to include support for extending self-powered stereo speakers by adding
“A” to the model number (i.e. ST-C5USBV A -300)
Features
Allows the placement of a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse in a location where only these
parts are needed without having the CPU there too, taking up valuable space and adding to room noise.
Provides crisp and clear resolution when used in accordance with the chart below:

Limitations
The XTENDEX will only work with USB keyboards and mice, other USB devices are not supported.
PS/2 devices can be connected to the XTENDEX through an NTI USB-PS/2 adapter, however the translation keys described on page 15 will not function in this application.
The XTENDEX can be used between two cascaded NTI switches, but the master switch in the configuration will not be able to list the CPUs connected to the extended slave. The OSD menu in the extended slave would have to be used to monitor
CPUs connected to it. (This can be done by configuring command mode for the slave switch with an Alternate OSD
Command Sequence).
The XTENDEX Local with audio support must be used with a Remote with audio support, and a Local without audio support must be used with a Remote without audio support. Locals and remotes with and without audio support cannot be mixed.
A ST-C5USBV(A)-300 XTENDEX Local must be used with a ST-C5USBV(A)-300 Remote. The ST-C5USBV(A)-1000S
XTENDEX Local and Remote are not compatible with the ST-C5USBV(A)-300 Local and Remote.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
A location should be chosen for the monitor, mouse, and keyboard that also has space to mount the Remote Unit within the distance provided by the cables from the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables required. If a local user will be connected, a proper location must be chosen for these devices too.
The CAT5 cable(s) must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be placed. 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.). NOTE : If CAT5 cable is already installed in the wall and there are RJ45 wall outlets, it will be necessary to obtain male-to-male straight through connection cables long enough to reach from the wall outlets to the mounting locations of the Remote and Local Units.
A properly grounded, polarized, and preferably surge-protected 120V or 240V electrical outlet (depending on the AC adapter being used) must be installed close enough to the mounting location of the Remote Unit and monitor to plug them into.
All cables should be installed in a fashion that will avoid 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 prevent this.
Properly shut down and disconnect the power of the CPU and monitor. Disconnect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. 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.
Note: CAT5 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 CAT5 cable could be dangerous and will void the warranty.
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 to the XTENDEX.

COMMAND MODE
The XTENDEX has two areas of user control that can be used as needed. The user can adjust video quality (described below), or enable/disable MAC mode (see page 12) These controls are accessed by entering Command Mode.
To enter Command Mode, simultaneously press the left and right < Shift > keys on the keyboard connected to the Remote
Unit. The keyboard LEDs will illuminate.
To exit Command Mode, press < Esc >.
Automatic Video Quality Adjustment
(ST-C5USBVA-300 only)
Video quality adjustment is done automatically to assure the image is as clear as possible.
Note: If a different type of cable is used (i.e. shielded cable) and the image is not crisp and clear, there may be a need for fine adjustment. For fine adjustment, follow the same procedure as described under “Manual Video Quality Adjustment”
below.
Manual Video Quality Adjustment
(ST-C5USBV-300 only)
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 CAT5 cable. It may be necessary to enter Command Mode (described above) and press the < Right Arrow> or < Left Arrow> keys on the remote keyboard until the image is crisp and clear.
Press < Right Arrow> key if the image is not crisp and clear enough.
Press the < Left Arrow> key 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 key will make a minor change in the image.
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. To exit Command
Mode, press < Esc >.
Note: For additional quality adjustment, it may be necessary to adjust the brightness and contrast settings of the monitor.
Note: The video quality adjustment procedure can only be performed from the keyboard connected to the Remote Unit.
11
MAC Mode
MAC Mode enables the user to connect the Local Unit to a MAC CPU. MAC Mode configures the Local Unit for passing mouse information to the MAC CPU. This is useful when the user wants to use mouse drivers provided by the mouse vendor, which allows the use of programmable functions for each mouse button. The Local Unit can be configured whenever necessary.
NOTE: When the port is connected to a PC or SUN CPU, MAC Mode should be OFF (the default setting).
To do this;
1.
Enter Command Mode. (Simultaneously press the left and right < Shift > keys on the keyboard connected to the Remote
Unit. The keyboard LEDs will illuminate. )
2.
If a MAC CPU is connected, press the < M > key. The keyboard LEDs will momentarily flash and the “MAC” LED on the
Remote Unit will illuminate to indicate MAC Mode is ON. (See Figure 8)
3.
To reconnect the XTENDEX to a SUN or Windows CPU (the default setting) , press the < M > key once again and the
“MAC” LED will go OFF.
Figure 8- MAC LED
After setting, the configuration is stored in memory and will be retrieved whenever the XTENDEX is powered ON.
Note: MAC Mode can only be enabled from the keyboard connected to the Remote Unit.
12
DDC SUPPORT
DDC support allows the CPU to detect the video capability of your monitor by transferring EDID data from your monitor to the
CPU.
If the same make and model monitor is used at the Local and Remote unit, then DDC information can be updated either using
Command Mode from the Remote Unit keyboard or from the “DDC Update” button on the Local Unit.
If different monitors are used at the Local and Remote units, then DDC must be updated at both units. It doesn't matter which is done first.
The procedure to update DDC information (below) must be performed only once at initial setup (provided the monitor is not changed).
When performed at the Local Unit, only the EDID data from the Local monitor is collected.
When performed at the Remote Unit, only the EDID data from the Remote monitor is collected.
As long as both units are powered and connected, which ever unit is updated last will cause the resolutions that are common to both the Remote and Local monitors to be sent to the connected PC.
1. Update DDC using the DDC Update Button
First make sure the Local and Remote units and monitors connected to the each are powered ON. Then, press the DDC Update button on the Local Unit.
Within 1 second, the DDC information for the Local monitor will be provided to the connected PC.
2.Update DDC information from Command Mode;
1. Command Mode can be enabled by pressing two keys on
the Remote Unit keyboard at the same time;
< LEFT SHIFT > + < RIGHT SHIFT >. This will only work
from the Remote Unit keyboard. Press < Esc > at any time to
exit Command Mode.
The three keyboard LEDs (NumLock, CapsLock, and ScrollLock) on the
Remote Unit keyboard will blink at the same time to indicate entrance into
Command Mode. (See chart below for LED indications.)
2. press < D> to enter DDC Update mode .
3. press the < Left Arrow> + < Right Arrow> keys
simultaneously to cause DDC information to be updated
4. press <Esc> to exit Command Mode
5. Restart the CPU.

Note: It is recommended that the monitors connected to the Remote and Local units be of the same make and model.
Attention: Some graphics cards will not send a video signal to the monitor until it has received the DDC information from the monitor. In this case, the monitor may not display anything until the DDC information is read. This may occur if this is the first time the monitor is being connected to the XTENDEX. The DDC information must be updated in the XTENDEX to achieve video using the procedure outlined above.
If the monitor is changed to a different model than was initially installed, the update procedure must be repeated.
