Instruction Manual 1

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com KVM extender. This product allows a computer to

control a host system from a remote location at a distance of up to 500 feet (150 meters). For

ease of installation, this product uses standard Category 5, 5E, or 6 network cabling that ts

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

supports either PS/2 or USB computer interfaces. Console support is provided using standard

USB and VGA connectors.

Features

• Can be used with a single computer or connected to an existing KVM switch

• Easy installation using industry-standard UTP network cable

• Intuitive hotkey commands

• Supports auto-switching between host and remote users or dedicated control

• USB computers are supported at the host and remote locations (USB 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-through network cable terminated at

each end with RJ-45 connectors (if using surface cabling)

• Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-through 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 cannot exceed 500 feet

(150 meters), including patch cables (if used). Category 5e and 6 cabling is compatible with this

product and may improve performance.

NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Host and Remote Units may adversely aect 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.

Instruction Manual 2

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

remotely. In this conguration, 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 conguration. 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 8 for details.

Package Contents

• 1 x Host Unit

• 1 x Remote Unit

• 1 x Instruction Manual

• 2 x Power adapters

• 2 x 6 ft. 2-in-1 USB VGA KVM cables

• 1 x Set of rubber mounting feet

Instruction Manual 3

Connecting Your KVM Extender

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. a) 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 a RJ-45 connector.

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.

Instruction Manual 4

Installing the Host Unit

1. Place the Host Unit near the computer.

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

3. Using the provided StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (see page 15 for alternative part

numbers), connect the end of the cable that has two (USB) or three (PS/2 + VGA) 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 USB mouse, keyboard,

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

5. Connect the UTP cable connection for 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).

Instruction Manual 5

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 15 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 USB mouse, keyboard, and a 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 you are

using with this product at both locations for easy identication.

Instruction Manual 6

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 7

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 access 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 oers access to a number of extended features.
