THE DDXI - DVI/VGA KVM EXTENDER FAMILY

Welcome to the DDXI DVI/VGA KVM Extender

Family!

Thank you for purchasing a DDXI DVI/VGA KVM Extender model! We appreciate

your business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your enhanced

keyboard/video/mouse system will save you money, time, and effort.

That’s because our DDXI DVI/VGA KVM Extender family is all about breaking away

from the traditional, expensive model of computer management. You know the one-

size-fits-all-even-if-it-doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one user station,

no more, no less.” Why not a pair of user stations, each of which can control multiple

computers? Why not multiple user stations for the same computer?

With our DDXI DVI/VGA KVM Extender products, there’s no reason why not. We

carry a broad line of robust solutions for all these applications. The DDXI DVI/VGA

KVM Extender family—the one-stop answer for all your KVM-extending needs!

This manual will tell you all about your new DDXi DVI/VGA KVM Extender, including

how to install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Extender, see

Chapter 2. The Extender product codes covered in this manual are:

Safety Precautions and Installation Guidelines

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation, please note the following installation

guidelines:

•Do not use CATx-devices to link between buildings – please use fiber devices.

•Only use in dry, indoor environments.

•If the building has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that equipment connected to

the Local and Remote units is on the same phase.

•Try not to route a CATx link cable alongside power cables.

•Ensure that the system connected to the Local unit is connected to power

ground.

•Ensure that the monitor connected to the Remote unit is connected to power

ground and does not use an isolated power supply.

•The Remote unit, Local unit and any power supplies can get warm. Do not

locate them in an enclosed space without any airflow.

•Do not place a power supply directly on top of a unit.

•Do not obstruct a unit’s ventilation holes.

To safeguard against personal in ury and avoid possible

damage to equipment or property, please observe the

following:

•Only use power supplies originally supplied with the

product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not

attempt to dismantle or repair any power supply. Do not

use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a

damaged case.

•Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each

case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained

from the outlet socket through to the power supply’s AC

power input.

•Do not attempt to modify or repair this product, or make

a connection from the CATx link interface (RJ45) or the

Fiber link interface (SC-Duplex) to any other products,

especially telecommunications or network equipment.

•To comply with CE regulations, it is NOT allowed, to use

CATx devices with unshielded CATx cables

QUICK SETUP

1.1 Video Input/Output

If possible, always use DVI output from your computer’s video card and DVI input to

a monitor. This provides the optimum video signal. If you use a VGA output from your

graphic source, the DVI-KVM Local unit must digitize the signal prior to transmission.

Similarly, if your remote TFT screen uses a VGA input, it must digitize the signal from

the Remote unit. In both cases, the built-in video processors must determine the

resolution and pixel phase for an optimized digitization. Your DVI Extender allows

you to optimize the video signal manually or automatically using its on-screen utility

(see Chapter 4). If you are using a VGA input to a TFT monitor, please follow the

manufacturer’s instructions.

You may have several possible options for video source output/monitor input. If this

is the case, for the optimum video quality, please select the highest ranked available

combination from the following table:

Video Quality Local Unit input Remote Unit output

1 DVI DVI

2 DVI VGA

3 VGA DVI

4 VGA VGA
