CABLES  
CrystalView cables  
CrystalView Local Unit to CPU cable  
CPU cables connect from the Local Unit to a CPUs keyboard, video  
monitor and mouse ports. The PC and PC-Serial/Audio models use  
a male-to-male cable configured on both ends with an HD15M VGA  
connector and a two MiniDin-6 connectors for the PS/2 keyboard  
and mouse. (Rose Electronics part number CAB-CXV66MMnnn).  
The CrystalView MINI model uses a CPU cable with a DB25  
connector on one end and an HD15M VGA connector and two  
MiniDin-6 connectors for the keyboard and mouse.  
(Rose Electronics cable part number CAB-CX0606Cnnn).  
The CrystalView SUN model uses a CPU cable with an HD15M and  
a MiniDin-8 connector for the keyboard.  
(Rose Electronics cable part number CAB-C1VS8MMnnn)  
Max Local unit to CPU cable length is 20 feet using standard  
cabling. Using coax cabling, this distance can be extended, but care  
should be taken because the Local units power is obtained from the  
connected CPUs keyboard port.  
CrystalView Remote Unit to KVM station cable  
The keyboard, video monitor, and mouse cables on a KVM station  
can connect directly to the CrystalView Remote or Dual Local Units  
connectors if they are a HD15 Video connector and PS/2, MiniDin-6  
Keyboard and Mouse connectors.  
CrystalView to Rose switch cable  
To connect a CrystalView Local Unit to a Rose switch such as a  
ServeView, UltraMatrix or UltraView, use Rose cable part number  
CAB-CX0606Cnnn.  
Local Unit to Remote Unit cable  
The Local Unit is connected to the Remote Unit with up to 1,000 feet  
of standard CAT-5 UTP/STP “solid core” cable terminated with RJ45  
connectors, 150 feet on the MINI model. Connect this cable to the  
Local and Remote Unit. Rose Electronics cable part number CAB-  
08UTPnnn.

The CrystalView has been tested with all major makes of CAT-5  
cables, including BICC-VEROÒ, MohawkÒ and AT&TÒ. CrystalView  
has also been tested on CAT-3 cable and on pairs within a 25-pair  
UTP trunk cable.  
The video performance will vary with different cable types. For the  
best performance and video quality, Rose Electronics recommends  
that only CAT-5 “Solid Core” cable be used.  
Serial cable  
To connect the Local Unit to the CPUs DB9 serial port, use a  
standard DB9MF serial 1:1 (DTE-DCE) cable. The Remote Units  
“SERIAL” port is wired as DTE (the same as the CPUs serial port).  
To connect a serial printer or other DTE devices to the Remote Unit,  
you will need a Null-modem (crossover) cable between the Remote  
Unit and the printer. Select Xon/Xoff software flow control on the  
printer and PC.  
Audio cable  
CrystalView models with the audio option are configured with two  
3.5mm stereo audio jacks on both the Local and Remote Unit.  
Standard 3.5mm stereo audio cables are used to connect between  
the Local Units “LINE IN” connector and a sound card’s “LINE OUT”  
connector. The Remote Units “LINE OUT” connects to a pair of  
computer speakers.  
(Rose Electronics cable part number CAB-SPMMnn).  
Maximum audio cable length is 6 feet.  
Power adapter  
The power adapter  
used with the  
CrystalView is a  
110V/220V to 9V DC  
regulated adapter.  
Use only the power  
adapter furnished with  
the CrystalView

INSTALLATION  
Installation  
Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any  
installation or configuration of the CrystalView.  
Installation of the CrystalView consists of four easy steps.  
1. Setting the cable length jumpers/switch (if needed).  
2. Connecting the cables to the equipment.  
3. Applying power.  
4. Adjust the video compensation (if needed).  
For systems that only require running Video through the  
CrystalView, (for viewing purposes only) and no keyboard or mouse  
is needed, supplemental power must be supplied to the Local Unit.  
The Local Unit gets its power from the keyboard port of the CPU.  
Rose Electronics can supply a power transformer that connects to  
the Local Units keyboard port to provide this power. This power  
transformer (P/N KIT-KBPWR) can be ordered from Rose  
Electronics.  
When installing the CrystalView, locate it as close as possible to the  
CPU. Keep the CPU and KVM cables are as short as possible but  
still give some freedom of movement. Using shorter cables keeps  
the video noise to a minimum and reduces installation costs. You  
can mount the CrystalView in a CPU rack with the optional rack  
mount kit. When mounting the CrystalView in a rack, follow the  
instructions in Appendix F and Appendix G and assure that the  
operating temperature of the Local and Remote Units do not exceed  
the maximum ratings. Provide adequate air circulation to assure that  
the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded. The MINI  
model is not rack mountable.  
Wherever the CrystalViews Local and Remote Units are located,  
they should be on a secure surface and free from obstructions and  
objects that may cause damage to the units.  
When installing the CrystalView, only perform the installation steps  
that apply to your model.

Step 1 – Setting the cable length jumpers/switch  
(PC, SUN, PC-Serial/Audio models. See Figure 5.)  
There are three jumpers labeled JP3, JP4, and JP5, located on the  
Remote Units PCB. These three jumpers set the correct level of  
video equalization for different cable lengths. Jumpers JP3, JP4,  
and JP5 are all factory set to a default of 0 – 300 feet. For cable  
lengths less than 300 feet, no jumper setting changes should be  
needed.  
For cable lengths over 300 feet these jumpers may need to be set to  
compensate for the longer cable length. To set these jumpers, first  
carefully remove the Remote Units case by unscrewing the two side  
screws and the top screw and lift off the top case exposing the  
CrystalViews PCB. Orient the PCB with the cable connections  
away from you and the front panel towards you. Set jumpers JP3,  
JP4, and JP5 depending on the CAT-5 cable length between the  
Remote Unit and the Local Unit as show in Figure 5.  
If you are unsure about opening the case and setting the jumpers,  
please consult technical support at Rose Electronics.  
TIP: If you are using a CAT-5 cable that is close to the top end of  
the cable length range and a video resolution of 1024 x 768 or  
higher, you may achieve better video quality by selecting the jumper  
settings for the next higher cable length range. For example, if your  
CAT-5 cable length is 250 feet, you might achieve better video  
quality if you set jumpers JP3, JP4, and JP5 to the 301 – 600  
setting.  
(PC-Serial/Audio model only. See Figure 5.)  
If you are using a non-powered microphone on the Remote Unit,  
install the “MIC” jumper on the daughterboard. This provides  
additional amplification.  
DO NOT INSTALL THE “MIC” JUMPER IF USING A  
POWERED MICROPHONE.  
(MINI model See Figure 5.)  
The CrystalView MINI model has two Dipswitches located on the  
bottom of the Remote Unit. Set Dipswitch 1 according to the CAT-5  
cable length used between the Local Unit and the Remote Unit.  
Maximum cable length for the CrystalView MINI is 150 feet. For  
normal scroll lock key operation set Dipswitch 2 to “ON”.

Local / Remote unit cabling  
Power down your PC and connect the appropriate CPU cable to the  
CPUs keyboard, video monitor, and mouse ports and to the Local  
Units keyboard, video monitor, and mouse ports. If the Local Unit is  
a Dual model, make sure you connect the cables to the connectors  
marked “TO PC”. On a Dual model, you can connect a second  
KVM station to the Local Unit and access the CPU independently  
from the Local or Remote Unit but not simultaneously. A lockout  
feature inhibits the “not-in-use” Unit.  
Figures 6-9 show the connections for each model.

Step 3 – Applying power  
(All models)  
Plug in the power adapter to a 110/220-volt source and to the power  
connector on the Remote Unit. Only use the power adapter  
provided with the CrystalView. Boot up the connected CPU and  
wait for it to completely boot-up. The Local Units power is supplied  
from the CPUs keyboard port. The video image quality may be poor  
at this point on the PC, SUN, and PC-Serial/Audio models, final  
adjustments for these models are performed in step 4.

Step 4 – Adjusting the video compensation  
(PC, SUN, PC-Serial/Audio models only)  
(No video compensation is required for the MINI model)  
Video compensation adjustments should only be needed if your  
CAT-5 cable length exceeds 300 feet. Make sure the Bright and  
Sharp controls on the Remote Unit are fully counterclockwise. (no  
compensation). Make sure that JP1, JP2, and JP3 are set properly.  
Start an application, (preferably a windows application), and look at  
the right edge of a large horizontal object such as a title bar. If there  
is black smearing on this edge, the video is under compensated.  
Rotate the Sharp control on the Remote Unit clockwise until the  
smearing disappears and the edge starts to become very bright. At  
this point, the video is overcompensated. Rotate the Sharp control  
counterclockwise until the edge has no smearing or over brightness.  
The video compensation is now adjusted correctly for the cable  
length used in your system.  
The Bright control adjusts the brightness of the overall picture.  
Adjust the Bright control on the Remote Unit to suit your needs. The  
Sharp control may have to be slightly readjusted after adjusting the  
Bright control.  
Note: The CrystalView video compensation system is designed to  
produce very good quality video on short to medium length cables  
and acceptable quality video over cable lengths greater than 500  
feet.  
In some installations the location of the CPU and the location of the  
CrystalView Local Unit requires a greater distance than the system  
is designed for. This extra cable length from the keyboard port on  
the CPU to the Local Units keyboard connector can cause a power  
loss. Since the Local Unit gets its power from the keyboard port of  
the CPU, this loss may be enough to effect its operation. This also  
may occur when using a wireless keyboard. To correct a decrease  
in power, a supplemental power adapter may be required on the  
Local Unit keyboard connector. (See Appendix C. Parts and cables)  
If you are connecting a Laptop computer to the Local Unit, it is  
highly recommended that a power adapter be used to supplement

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Operating instructions- All units  
Once the Remote and Local Units are connected and configured,  
the Remote KVM station’s keyboard, video monitor and mouse will  
function as if it were directly connected to the CPU. All applications,  
upgrades and PC configurations can be performed normally. If you  
reconnect a keyboard or mouse or if the keyboard or mouse ever  
locks up, see Table 4 and Table 5 for re-initialization instructions.  
Operating instructions – Dual unit  
KVM Switching  
The CrystalView “Dual” version allows for an additional KVM station  
to be connected to the Local Unit. The CPU can be operated from  
the Remote or Local KVM station but not simultaneously. The Local  
Unit is active during boot-up. To activate the Remote KVM station,  
simply press any key on the Remote KVM stations keyboard or  
move the mouse. To activate the Local KVM station, press any key  
on the Local KVM station’s keyboard or move its mouse.  
A lockout feature disables activity from a KVM station until the “In  
Use” KVM stations keyboard or mouse are inactive for more than 2  
seconds. After 2 seconds of inactivity, pressing any key on the “Not  
in Use” KVMs keyboard or moving the mouse will activate that KVM  
station and lockout the other KVM station. On the PC and SUN  
models, changing SW1 switch 2 to the left position can change the  
time interval of 2 seconds to 15 seconds. The 2-second time interval  
is not changeable on the Serial/Audio and MINI models.  
Private mode (Dual models only)  
The private mode feature will disable the keyboard and mouse and  
blank the video monitor on the Remote or Local Unit. To enter the  
private mode, execute the command for your model as shown.

The optional rack mount kit includes the following items:  
n
n
Two black anodized mounting brackets.  
Four 6 - 32 x 3/8” flat head mounting screws.  
To rack mount your CrystalView, attach the two rack mounting  
brackets to your Unit with the short flange against the Unit using the  
four screws provided. Do not over tighten the screws used to mount  
the Unit to the mounting brackets. Use only the hardware provided,  
using hardware other than that provided could cause damage to the  
electronics and/or result in loss of mounting integrity. Secure the  
mounting brackets to the rack using the appropriate size bolts, nuts  
and lock washers.  
The following guidelines should be observed when installing.  
a). Do not exceed the operating temperature of 0o C to 45o C.  
b). Do not block power supply vents or restrict airflow.  
c). Mechanical loading of the rack should be considered to  
prevent instability and possible tipping over.  
d). Tighten all connectors securely and provide adequate strain  
relief for all cables.  
e). Provide a grounded power source to all Units. Pay special  
attention to overall branch circuit load ratings before  
connecting equipment to this source. Overloaded circuits are  
potential fire hazards and can cause equipment failures or  
poor performance.
