Introduction

The StarTech.com USB, DVI, serial and audio KVM Console Extender

lets you control a server, computer or multiple computers (through a

KVM switch) over a multi-mode ﬁber link, at distances of up to 2000m

(6562 ft). By transmitting the digital DVI video (or HDMI with a DVI-to-

HDMI adapter) over a multi-mode optical ﬁber link, there is no signal

loss so the video is as sharp and vivid as it would be if the monitor was

connected directly to the PC.

Installation

Preparing Your Site

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

Determine where the1. host computer will be located and set up the

computer.

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

will be located and place them appropriately.

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

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).

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

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).

Connect the ﬁber cable to the SC ﬁber connectors on the5. Computer

Unit. Connect the opposite end to a terminated wall outlet (if you are

using premise cabling) or directly to the Console Unit.

Power on the6. Host computer system.

Installing the Console Unit

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

Connect a USB keyboard and mouse, and a DVI monitor to the2.

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.

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

Connect the ﬁber cable connection to the SC ﬁber connector on the4.

Console Unit. Connect the opposite end to a terminated wall outlet

(if using premises cabling) or directly to the Computer Unit.

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

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.

Driver Installation

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

driver installation is required on any computer system.

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 offers access to a number of

extended features.

Mask Hotkey Switch

The Mask Hotkey switch on the rear panel

feature for use when a KVM switch is being

used. Setting the switch to ON or OFF will Mask

(disable) the units built in hotkey detection,

allowing the controls keys to be sent directly to

the KVM switch.
