Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com KVM extender. This product al-

lows a computer to control a host system from a remote location at a dis-

tance of up to 500 feet (150 meters). For ease of installation, this product

uses standard Category 5, 5E, or 6 network cabling that ﬁts easily into

almost any existing network infrastructure. For added versatility, the KVM

extender supports either PS/2 or USB computer interfaces. Console sup-

port is provided using standard USB and VGA connectors.

Features

Can be used with a single computer or connected to an existing KVMs

switch

Easy installation using industry-standard UTP network cables

Intuitive hotkey commandss

Supports auto-switching between host and remote users or dedicateds

control

USB computers are supported at the host and remote locations (USBs

keyboard and mouse required for remote console)

System Requirements

1 x integrated KVM cable each for the host and remote computers.

Longer cables are available from StarTech.com, part numbers: SVECONx

(PS/2), SVECONUSx (USB)

Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-throughs

network cable terminated at each end with RJ-45 connectors (if using

surface cabling)

Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-throughs

network cable terminated at each end in a wall-mounted outlet, with a

standard Category 5/5e/6 patch cable, at both locations (if using

premises cabling)

NOTE: The total length of cable between the Host and Remote Units

Instruction Manual

cannot exceed 500 feet (150 meters), including patch cables (if used).

Category 5e and 6 cabling is compatible with this product and may im-

prove performance.

NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Host and Remote Units may

adversely affect image quality at high resolutions and refresh rates. If you

need to run your remote displays at high resolutions and frequencies, use

as little cabling between locations as possible and avoid practices such as

“coiling” unused cable in a ceiling.

This product will also control a KVM switch, allowing you to manage more

than one computer remotely. In this conﬁguration, you can connect the

KVM extender’s Host Unit to the “console” ports on the KVM. You must

use the provided power adapters if using this conﬁguration. You should

set the Host Unit to Compatibility Mode before connecting it to a KVM that

uses the [Ctrl] key as its hotkey sequence; see page 8for details.

a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough3.

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 a RJ-45 connector.

3. b) If you are using premises 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.

Using the 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 allows users connected to the Host and Remote units to

share control of devices (hosts, computers, KVM Switches) connected to

it.

The Host Unit 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 A and B and automatically accepts input from

the active console), Local (only the user seated at the Host unit can ac-

cess the system), and Remote (only the user at the Remote station can

access the system).

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 devices connected to the Host unit, by pressing the

button in sequence.

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.
