If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables required. • The CATx cable must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be connected. Be careful to route the cable away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the extended signals (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 devices 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. 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. 2 NTI XTENDEX USB EXTENDER MOUNTING BRACKETS Your XTENDEX has been supplied with mounting brackets and hardware for easy installation should you decide to mount the XTENDEX to any surface. Assemble the bracket(s) to the Local Unit and/or Remote Unit according to the images below as desired. 3 NTI XTENDEX USB EXTENDER INSTALLATION Installing The Local Unit 1. Connect the USB2-AB-1M-5T USB cable from the Local Unit to the back of the CPU. (See Figure 1.) a) Connect the USB Type A male cable end to a USB Type A female connector on the CPU. b) Connect the USB Type B male cable end to the USB Type B female connector on the Local Unit.

(See Figure 3.) When properly inserted the cable end should snap into place. Figure 3- Connect CATx cable ! WARNING: Never connect the XTENDEX to an Ethernet card, Ethernet router, hub or switch or other Ethernet RJ45 connector of an Ethernet device. Damage to devices connected to the Ethernet may result. Plug-in and Boot Up 1. Connect the AC adapter power connector to the 5VDC port on the Remote Unit. (The Local Unit is powered by the CPU.) Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet. The green LED on the RJ45 connector of the Remote Unit should illuminate, indicating that a proper power connection has been made to it. (See Figure 4.)

Turn ON the CPU. The green LED on the RJ45 connector of the Local Unit should illuminate. The CPU and remote devices should each react as if they were directly connected to each other. Note: The yellow LED on RJ45 connector will blink anytime data traffic is passing between the Local and Remote Units, indicating proper CATx cable connection and communication. (See Figure 4) 5 NTI XTENDEX USB EXTENDER INTERCONNECTION CABLE WIRING METHOD The connection cable between the remote and local is terminated with RJ45 connectors and must be wired according to the EIA/TIA 568 B industry standard.
