OVERVIEW  
2. Overview  
2.1 Introduction  
A Cat5 KVM Extender is mainly used, to extend the maximum distance between a CPU  
and his Keyboard / Monitor / Mouse considerably. In addition they are irrecoverable in  
installations in electromagnetic hazardous environments (EMI). Normal Keyboard-/  
Monitor-/ Mouse extender cables (and Extender using traditional cables) cannot go so far  
and EMI interferences may reduce the maximum distance and/or reliability. Using a  
DVI-D Cat X Extender system, these limitations are past. Remain your CPU in a secure  
rack cabinet or data center while accessing from a 140m remotely located place.  
A basic KVM extension system comprises a Local unit (transmitter) and a Remote unit  
(receiver). The Local unit connects directly to the computer (or a KVM switch system) using  
the supplied cable(s). The user console (keyboard, mouse and monitor) attaches to the  
Remote unit. The Remote and Local units communicate video and data information along the  
interconnecting cable. Local units offer dual access, allowing the connection of a second user  
console close to the computer.

2.6 How to Use This Guide  
This guide describes the installation and configuration of the DVI-D Cat X – Extender Series.  
Although the connection and operation of the system is relatively straightforward, you should  
consider the following before getting started:  
Connection & Compatibility  
If you have purchased an Extender Kit, this will contain all the cables required to connect the  
Local unit to your PC or KVM switch. Please see also: Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht  
gefunden werden. (page Fehler! Textmarke nicht definiert.)  
For information about connection and installation, see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht  
gefunden werden., page Fehler! Textmarke nicht definiert..  
DDC Information  
Normally it is not necessary to make any adjustments to the DVXi- Extender. However, in  
some circumstances, it may be necessary to redefine the source of DDC Information for the  
CPU. By default, the DVI-D Cat X KVM-Extender uses its own internal DDC table. If this  
setting does not satisfy your requirements, the DDC table can either be switched to the locally  
or remotely attached screen.  
To modify the DDC-Setup, please ask Technical support for additional information.  
Compatibility  
Devices with PS2 connectors are NOT compatible to devices with USB connectors.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
4. Troubleshooting  
There isn’t a picture.  
Check the power supply connection at the Local unit. Is the Power (Red LED) at  
the Local unit illuminated (see page 24)? If not, the internal power-supply may be  
damaged or there may be an internal error.  
Check the power supply connection at the remote unit. Is the Power (Red LED) at  
the Remote unit illuminated (see page 24)? If not, the internal power-supply may be  
damaged or there may be an internal error.  
Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote  
Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated (see page 24)? If not, there may be a  
problem with the Interconnection cable:  
Are there Errors through data transmission over CAT5 Cable (Cable too long, too  
high attenuation or too much EMI interferences )? Is the Data Error LED  
illuminated or blinking (see page 24)? If yes, check cable length and environment.  
Video Okay LED is dark: CPU does not provide a video signal – Check settings of  
the graphic card. Try out, connecting a monitor to the local output, to see, whether  
ther is a signal or not.  
Keyboard  
The PC boots fine with no error messages but the keyboard does not work at all  
Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.  
Try a different model of keyboard. If the new keyboard works then original one  
may be incompatible  
Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote  
Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated (see page 24)?  
PS2-Mouse  
A mouse cursor appears on the screen, but the mouse does not work  
Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.  
Try a different model of mouse  
The system does not detect a PS/2 mouse, or the application cannot find the mouse.  
Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.  
Ensure that the Local Unit is connected to the PC keyboard port to provide power.
