Installation

This product is composed of two different 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.

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

computer.

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

will be located and place them appropriately.

If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category3.

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 a RJ-45 connector.

If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 54.

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.

Installing the Host Unit

Place the Host Unit near the computer.1.

Switch off the computer and disconnect any existing VGA and input2.

connections.

Using a StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (see page 8 for part3.

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.

If you wish to have console access to the host computer, connect a4.

PS/2 mouse, keyboard, and VGA monitor to the indicators marked

as CONSOLE on the Host Unit.

Connect the UTP cable connection for Remote Unit to the5.

Units carry electrical current and should not be plugged in to other

devices, as they may cause damage. We strongly recommend marking

the cables you are using with this product at both locations for easy

identiﬁcation.

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 affect . There are

ﬁve 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.

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:

Having a keyboard and mouse attached to the console ports on

the Host Unit is recommended since it offers access to a number of

extended features.
