2.6 How to Use This Guide
This guide describes the installation and configuration of the ServSwitch™ Brand CATx
KVM Extender Series. Although the connection and operation of the system is relatively
straightforward, you should consider the following before getting started:
Connection & Compatibility
Your Extender Kit contains all the cables required to connect the Local Unit to your PC or
KVM switch. The Remote console (keyboard, monitor and mouse) and any audio and serial
equipment connect directly to the Remote Unit.
For information about connection and installation, see Installation, page 18.
Interconnection Cable
You will need CATx (any category 5, 5e, 6 or higher) cable, terminated with RJ45 plugs, to
connect the Local and Remote Units (see Interconnection Cable Requirements, page 19).
Adjusting Video
Video signals become distorted when transmitted over CATx cables. To get the best from
your extender system, it is essential that you adjust the Remote Unit to optimize the video
image quality:
• For experienced users, there is a Quick Setup section at the start of this guide (see page
10).
• For the full procedure, see Remote Unit Configuration & Operation, page 25.
• Refer to Appendix D: Advanced Cabling Issues (Skew), page 48 for a more in depth
discussion of skew correction and advanced cabling issues.
