Instruction Manual

Installation

This product is composed of two dierent units: the Host Unit and

the Remote Unit. The Host Unit takes input controls from a computer

(using a PS/2 or USB integrated KVM cable) and allows access to

them via the Remote Unit over Category 5 UTP cable. The remote

computer also connects to the Remote Unit using an integrated KVM

cable (again, either PS/2 or USB) and allows the user at the remote

site to control that computer or the host computer using keyboard

hotkey commands.

A PS/2 mouse and keyboard and a VGA monitor are connected to the

Remote Unit (the console). You can also connect console peripherals

to the Host Unit if you need direct as well as remote access to that

computer.

Preparing Your Site

Before you can install the 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. If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 unshielded

twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Host Unit to the Remote Unit’s

location, and that each end is terminated with RJ-45 connector.

4. If you are using premisses cabling, ensure that the category 5 unshielded twisted

pair (UTP) network cabling between the Host Unit and the Remote Unit has been

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

enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit to their respective outlets

Instruction Manual

Installing the Host Unit

1. Place the Host Unit near the computer.

2. Switch o the computer and disconnect any existing VGA and input connections.

3. Using a StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (see page 8 for part numbers), connect

the end of the cable that has two (USB) or three (PS/2) connectors to the VGA Out

connector and the USB or mouse and keyboard PS/2 connectors on the computer

as appropriate (The PS/2 version of the cable is color coded.) Connect the opposite

end of the cable with a single connector to the gray coded connector marked

COMPUTER on the Host Unit of the KVM extender.

4. If you wish to have console access to the host computer, connect a PS/2 mouse,

keyboard and VGA monitor indicators marked as CONSOLE on the Host Unit.

5. Connect the UTP cable connection for the Remote Unit to the NETWORK RJ-45

connector on the Host Unit. Connect the opposite end to a terminated wall outlet (if

you are using premises cabling).

Installing the Remote Unit

1. Place the Remote Unit near the computer.

2. Switch o the computer and disconnect any existing VGA and input connections.

3. Using a StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (see page 8 for part numbers), connect

the end of the cable that has two (USB) or three (PS/2) connectors to the VGA Out

connector and the USB or mouse and keyboard PS/2 connectors on the computer

as appropriate (The PS/2 version of the cable is color coded.) Connect the opposite

end of the cable with a single connector to the gray coded connector marked

COMPUTER on the Remote Unit of the KVM extender.

4. Connect a PS/2 mouse, keyboard, and VGA monitor to the indicators marked as

CONSOLE on the Remote Unit.

5. Connect the UTP cable connection for Remote Unit to the NETWORK RJ-45

connector on the Remote Unit. Connect the opposite end to a terminated wall

outlet (if using premises cabling).

CAUTION: The UTP network cables that connect the Host and Remote Units carry

electrical current and should not be plugged in to other devices, as they may cause

damage. We strongly recommend marking the cables the cables you are using with

this product at both locations for easy identication.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required as the SV565UTP uses standard keyboard/mouse

drivers.

Video Compensation

Video Compensation allows the user to adjust the equalization on the Remote Unit to

optimize video performance based on the length of cable being used, as well as other

factors that may aect . There are ve segments of various lengths of CAT 5 cables from

which to chose; to achieve the best visibility, please refer to the section titled Keyboard

Shortcut Command Sequences, to adjust the video compensation.

First, note the length of CAT 5 cable you used. Then, use the hotkeys to adjust the video

compensation accordingly. You can use the hotkey sequence as outlined in the section

titled Keyboard Shortcut Command Sequences.

Instruction Manual

Using the SV565UTP KVM Extender

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

locations.

Using the Host Unit

The Host Unit performs two functions: it allows a user at the Remote Unit to assume

control of the computer on the Host Unit (Computer A), and it also permits the user

at the Host Unit to use Computer A. It has three modes that control which user may

access the system at a given time: Auto (the KVM extender looks for keyboard or

mouse activity from both Host and Remote and automatically accepts input from the

active console), Local (only the user seated at the Host Unit can access the system), and

Remote (only the user at the Remote Unit can access Computer A).

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

or the mode switch on the top of the Host Unit to control which user has access to

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

mode in the sequence each time the switch is pressed as follows:

Auto Local Remote

Having a keyboard and mouse attached to the console ports on the Host Unit is

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