Instruction Manual

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 984 feet (300 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 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 StarTech.com integrated KVM cable for each, the host (included)

and remote (optional) computer connections. If necessary,

longer cables are available, StarTech.com ID: 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

Instruction Manual

cannot exceed 984 feet (300 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 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 8 for details.

Connecting Your KVM Extender

Preparing Your Site

Before you can install 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. The cabling should not go through any networking

equipment (i.e. router, switch).

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. The cabling

should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).

Instruction Manual

Installing the Host Unit

1. Place the Host Unit near the Host computer system.

2. Switch off the computer and disconnect any connected devices.

3. Using the provided StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (see page 16

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 Host

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 local 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 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) or

run it directly to the Remote Unit.

NOTE: The Host Unit can draw power from the Host computer system. If

it cannot draw sufﬁcient power from the Host computer, however, a power

adapter (not included) may be required.

Instruction Manual

Installing the Remote Unit

1. Place the Remote Unit near the remote keyboard/mouse/monitor setup.

2. Connect the USB mouse, keyboard, and a VGA monitor to the

indicators marked as CONSOLE on the Remote Unit.

OPTIONAL: If connecting a computer system directly to the Remote

Unit, switch off the computer and disconnect any existing VGA and input

connections. Using a StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (see page 16

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.

3. 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).

4. Connect the power adapter from an electrical outlet to the Remote Unit.

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 identiﬁcation.

Mask Hotkey Switch

The Mask Hotkey switch on the rear panel of both

the Host and Remote Units is a 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.

Video Calibration (Remote Unit only)

Video Calibration allows the user to adjust the equalization, gain and

RGB skew on the Remote Unit to optimize video performance based on

the length of the UTP cable being used, as well as other factors that may

affect the signal.

There are 16 levels of coarse tuning and up to 128/256 scales of

ﬁne tuning available for adjustment of the equalizer and gain. Skew

adjustment for red, green and blue colour channels come in 8 levels of

coarse adjustment and 16/32 scales of ﬁne adjustment.

NOTE: Video Calibration is only available when the UTP cable is

connected and the Remote unit has control of the Host computer system.
