Introduction

The SV565FXDUSA USB DVI KVM Console Extender w/ Serial & Audio Over MM Fiber

(2km) lets you control a server, computer or multiple computers (connected through

KVM Switch) over a multi-mode ber link, at distances of up to 2000m (6562 ft) away.

By transmitting the digital DVI video (or HDMI with a DVI to HDMI adapter) over a

multi-mode optical ber link there is no loss of signal quality, so the video is as sharp

and vivid as if the monitor was connected directly to the PC.

For added convenience, the Console/KVM extender supports USB computer

connections, and is compatible with any brand of USB KVM Switch.

Backed by a StarTech.com 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

WARNING! Do not stare into laser beam or look directly into the ends of the ber, or

look directly into the aperture ports of the ber. Invisible laser radiation can cause

eye injury.

Preparing Your Site

Before you can install the product, you need to prepare your site.

1. Determine where the host computer will be located and set up the computer.

2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located

and place them appropriately.

3. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Multi-Mode Fiber

network cabling to connect the Computer Unit to the Console Unit’s location, and

that each end is terminated with an SC connector. The cabling should not go

through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).

b) If you are using premise cabling, ensure that the Multi-Mode Fiber network

cabling between the Computer Unit and the Console Unit has been properly

terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long enough

to connect the Console Unit and the Computer Unit to their respective outlets. The

cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).

Instruction Manual

Installing the Computer Unit

1. Place the Computer Unit near the computer that needs to be controlled.

2. Switch o the computer and disconnect any connected devices.

OPTIONAL: If you wish to have console access locally to the Host computer, connect a

USB mouse, keyboard, and DVI monitor to the connectors marked as “Console” on the

Computer Unit.

3. Connect the power adapter from an AC electrical outlet to the unit.

4. Using the provided StarTech.com USB, DVI, Audio KVM cable, connect the Host

computer system to the KVM Extender’s “Computer” connectors. Reconnect any

necessary peripheral devices to the Host computer, removed in Step 2.

OPTIONAL: If you wish to have the Host computer to have access to a serial device,

connect a DB9 serial cable from the Host computer to the Computer DB9 connector

(DCE) on the Computer Unit. You may connect a serial device locally, by plugging the

serial device into the Console DB9 connector (DTE).

5. Connect the ber cable to the SC ber connectors on the Computer Unit. Connect

the opposite end to a terminated wall outlet (if you are using premise cabling) or

directly to the Console Unit.

6. Power on the Host computer system.

Installing the Console Unit

1. Place the Console Unit near the remote keyboard/mouse/display.

2. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse, and a DVI monitor to the connectors marked

as “Console”on the Console Unit.

OPTIONAL: If the serial connection was setup on the Computer Unit, connect the

serial device to the Console DB9 connector (DTE) on the Console Unit.

3. Connect the power adapter from an AC electrical outlet to the unit.

4. Connect the ber cable connection to the SC ber connector on the Console Unit.

Connect the opposite end to a terminated wall outlet (if using premises cabling) or

directly to the Computer Unit.

Instruction Manual

OPTIONAL: If connecting a computer system to the Console Unit, switch o the

computer and disconnect any existing devices. Using the provided StarTech.com

integrated USB, DVI, Audio KVM cable, connect the computer system to the Console

Unit’s “Computer” connectors. Reconnect any necessary peripheral devices to the Host

computer, removed previously.

Before Cascading with KVM Switch

If connecting the Extender to a KVM switch, make sure that the following have been

completed before connecting the KVM Switch to the Console or Computer Unit.

1. Determine whether a DVI or HDMI display will be used, and then, on the Computer

Unit, set monitor display mode to DVI ( [Press and hold Selection button for 2

seconds] - [V ] - [D] ) or HDMI ( [Press and hold Selection button for 2 seconds] - [V] -

[M] ) accordingly. (The signal from the Computer Unit is transmitted to the Console

Unit in one direction only, so it is not necessary to make this setting on the Console

Unit)

2. Enable Compatibility Mode by entering the hotkey command ( [Ctrl] - [Ctrl] - [Alt] +

[E] ) and then two beeps should be generated as the conrmation. In Compatibility

Mode, set the control to Local or Remote by inputting the hotkey ( [Ctrl] - [Ctrl] - [T] ).

If the KVM Switch is directly connected to Computer Unit, switch ON the Mask

Hotkey switch on both Units. If the KVM Switch is directly connected to the Console

Unit, switch ON the Mask Hotkey switch on the Console Unit only.

Connect the KVM Switch to the Console or Computer Unit after above set up completed.

Driver Installation

The KVM Extender is a complete hardware solution so no software or driver installation

is required on any computer system.

Instruction Manual

Using the KVM Extender

This section details how to use your KVM extender at both the local and

remote locations.

Using the Computer Unit

The Computer Unit allows users connected to the Computer and Console units to share

control of devices (computers, KVM Switches) connected to it.

The Computer Unit has three modes that control which user may access the Host

system (Computer A) at a given time: Auto (the KVM extender looks for keyboard or

mouse activity from both Local and Remote and automatically accepts input from

the active console), Local (only the user seated at the Computer Unit can access the

system), and Remote (only the user at the Console Unit can access the system).

You can use either keyboard shortcuts (if there is a keyboard and mouse attached) or

the mode switch on the front of the Computer Unit to control which user has access to

devices connected to the Computer Unit, by pressing the button in sequence.

By default, the Computer Unit operates in Auto mode, and switches to the next mode in

sequence each time the switch is pressed as follows:

Having a keyboard and mouse attached to the Console ports on the Computer Unit is

recommended, since it oers access to a number of extended features.
