CHAPTER 6: Installation

6. Installation

To install your ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 KVM Micro or KVM/Serial/Audio Micro

Extender system, first test-place it (if you want to) as described in Section 6.1, then

attach devices as described in Section 6.2, then finish your installation as described

in Section 6.3.

6.1 Test-Placing the Extender System (Optional)

We recommend testing your Micro Extender system with a test setup confined to a

single room; that way, if any components are bad, you can find out before you run

cable halfway across your campus. If you want to do this, gather your equipment in

your test site; otherwise, place the Extender’s Local and Remote Units, and the

equipment you’ll be attaching to them, in your desired locations.

6.2 Attaching Devices

For instructions on making device connections, refer to these subsections:

• Section 6.2.1 for the special considerations involved in audio connections in a

KVM/Serial/Audio system.

• Section 6.2.2 for attaching a CPU to the Local Unit’s CPU port.

• Section 6.2.3 for attaching a KVM switch to the Local Unit’s CPU port.

•

Section 6.2.4 for attaching a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the user port on a

Remote Unit or Dual-Access Local Unit.

• Section 6.2.5 for attaching a KVM switch to the

user port on a Remote Unit or

Dual-Access Local Unit

To attach a serial or audio device to the user port of a KVM/Serial/Audio Micro

Remote Unit, follow the instructions in Section 6.2.4. Because few KVM switches

handle serial communication in a way that’s compatible with the KVM/Serial/

Audio Micro Extender, we generally don’t recommend attaching KVM switches to

it. (One exception is the ServSwitch Multi; to attach it to the KVM/Serial/Audio

Micro Extender, follow the instructions in Sections 6.2.3 or 6.2.5.)
