Overview

Because the B013-000 Console Extender System allows access to a

computer system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and

mouse), it is perfect for factory and construction sites, or any type of

installation where the console needs to be kept in a conveniently

accessible location, but you want the system equipment to reside in a

safe place - away from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental influences.

The B013-000 System is also useful for control and security

purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the

same time that you put the console in a location that offers convenient

access.

The B013-000 Console Extender provides the ideal means to access

the remote system box, since it improves on previous designs by

using inexpensive Category 5 STP cable - the kind commonly used in

Ethernet networks - instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard

cables, and can also sense the distance to the system and

automatically adjust thegain.

Category 5 cabling makes for a much neater, more convenient, more

reliable data transfer connection. Setup is as easy as can be - simply

connect the PC system box and local console to the Local B013-000

Module; run the STP cable to the Remote B013-000 Module (up to

150 meters away); and plug the remote console into the Remote

Module.

Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single

console by combining the B013-000 with a KVM switch.

PCs

The following equipment must be installed on each PC that is to be

connected to the system:

With PS/2 Type Connectors:

MA VGA, SVGA or Multisync card.

MA 6-pin mini-DIN mouse port

MA 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard port

With AT Type Connectors:

MA VGA, SVGA or Multisync card.

MA DB-9 (standard serial), mouse port plus mouse adapter (part

# 2A-105).*

MA 5-pin DIN (standard AT), keyboard port plus keyboard adapt-

er (part # 2A-106).*

*Not included - requires separate purchase.

Cables

Although it is possible to use standard extender cables to link

computers with PS/2 type keyboard and mouse ports to the

B013-000 Local, for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the

layout, we strongly recommend that you use the high quality CS

Custom KVM Cable that is provided with this package.

It is not possible to use standard extender cables to link computers

with AT type keyboard and mouse ports to the B013-000 Local.

For those computers, using CS Custom KVM Cables must be used.

Category 5 STP cable is required to connect the local and remote

B013-000 units. Using cable of a lesser standard will result in

degrading the video signal.

monitor), into their ports on the Console side of the Local Unit

(B013-000 Local).

3. Plug the appropriate connectors on the KVM extension cable

supplied with this unit into the CPU side of the B013-000 Local.

Each connector is marked with an appropriate icon to indicate

which it is.

Note: The female monitor connector is the one that plugs into the

B013-000 Local.

4. Plug the connectors on the other end of the cable into the

appropriate ports on the PC system (or Console section of the

KVM switch - if you are using one). Each connector is marked

with an appropriate icon to indicate which it is.

5. Plug either end of the Category 5 twisted pair cable into the

B013-000 Local’s Remote I/O port.

6. Plug one of the power adapters (supplied with this package) into

an AC source; plug the adapter’s power cable into the B013-000

Local’s Power Jack

7. Plug the other end of the Category 5 twisted pair cable into the I/O

port of the Remote Unit (B013-000 Remote).

8. Plug the cables from the remote console devices (mouse,

keyboard, monitor), into their ports on the Console side of the

B013-000 Remote.

9. Plug the second power adapter (supplied with this package) into

an AC source; plug the adapter’s power cable into the B013-000
