Overview  
The GCE800 USB KVM Extender with on board audio allows access to a computer system from a remote  
console (USB keyboard, mouse, monitor, stereo speakers, and microphone). It is perfect for factory and  
construction sites, or any type of installation where the console needs to be in a conveniently accessible  
location, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe place - away from dust, dirt, and harsh  
environmental influences. The GCE800 also is useful for control and security purposes. Store the system  
unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in a location that offers convenient access.  
Recognizing the increased importance of sound in the computing environment, the GCE800 improves  
on earlier models by incorporating audio capability. Now, audio (stereo microphone and stereo speakers)  
transmission can be extended to the remote system along with the KVM data.  
The GCE800 USB KVM Extender improves on previous designs by using compact Cat 5 cable - the kind  
commonly used in Ethernet networks which makes for a much neater, more convenient, more reliable data  
transfer connection. In addition, the GCE800 has a built-in USB port that complies with the USB Mass  
Storage specification and supports USB Mass Storage compliant flash drives. Setup is as easy as can be:  
simply connect the computer system and local console components to the local GCE800 module, run  
the Cat 5 cable to the Remote GCE800 module (up to 820 ft) ; and connect the console to the Remote  
Module.  
Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single console by combining the GCE800 with a  
KVM switch.

When the system is in Local Mode, the Remote units selection switch is inactive. Pressing it has no  
effect – the Remote operator cannot take over control. The Remote selection switch only becomes  
active after the Local selection switch is pressed to return the system to Auto Mode.  
Likewise, if the system is in Remote Mode, the Local units selection switch is inactive – the Local  
operator cannot take over control. The Local selection switch only becomes active after the Remote  
selection switch is pressed to return the system to Auto Mode.  
Picture Compensation  
The quality of the video display can deteriorate with distance. The Picture Compensation switches  
adjust the picture quality of the remote console.  
If it becomes necessary to adjust the video signal, press the plus button (+) to increase the video  
signal gain; press the minus button (-) to decrease the video signal gain. The Picture Compensation  
LED blinks until compensation has completed, at which time it remains illuminated.

Hotkey Operation  
In addition to the OSD, the administrator and users can also use hotkey combinations to configure a  
number of the CE800 USB KVM Extenders working environment parameters.  
Invoking Hotkey Mode  
All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM). To invoke  
Hotkey Mode, do the following:  
1. Hold down the Num Lock key  
2. Press and release the minus key  
3. Release the Num Lock key  
[Num Lock] + [-]  
Note: There is an alternative key combination to invoke HKM (see Alternate  
Hotkey Invocation Keys, page 35).  
33

When Hotkey Mode is active:  
The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate so. They stop flashing and  
revert to normal status when you exit HKM.  
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line prompt is the word Hotkey:  
in yellow text on a blue background. Hotkey information that you key in displays on the command  
line.  
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and  
mouse clicks (described in the sections that follow), can be input.  
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit hotkey mode. With some  
operations, you must exit manually. To exit HKM manually, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].  
Alternate Hotkey Invocation Keys  
An alternate set of hotkey invocation keys is provided in case the default set conflicts with programs  
running on the computers.

To switch to the alternate hotkey invocation set, do the following:  
1. Invoke HKM (see page 19)  
2. Press and release the H key  
The hotkey invocation keys become the Ctrl key (instead of Num Lock) and the F12 key (instead of  
Minus).  
Note: This procedure is a toggle between the two methods. To revert back to the original [Num Lock]  
[Minus] method, invoke HKM, then press and release the H key again.  
Alternate OSD Activation Keys  
The OSD activation method can be changed from tapping the Scroll Lock key twice to tapping the Ctrl  
key twice ([Ctrl] [Ctrl]). To change the OSD  
activation method, do the following:  
1. Invoke HKM (see page 19)  
2. Press and release the T key

Note:  
1. This procedure is a toggle between the two methods. To revert back to the original [Scroll Lock] [Scroll  
Lock] method, invoke HKM, then press and release the T key again.  
2. For Mac systems we recommend using [Ctrl] [Ctrl] as the OSD activation keys since Scroll Lock is  
used to emulate F14 in PC to Mac keyboard emulation (see Keyboard Emulation, page 23).  
Enable / Disable Hotkeys  
In case a conflict occurs with programs running on the computer, you may wish to disable the hotkey  
function. To disable the hotkey function do the following:  
1. Invoke HKM (see page 19)  
2. Press and release the X key  
Note: This procedure is a toggle between enabling / disabling the hotkey function. To revert back to the  
original enabled status, invoke HKM, then press and release the X key again.
