modules can reliably transfer video rates up to 165Mpixels per second. This is in addition to two USB channels for keyboard and mouse - all via the same single length of Category 5, 5e or 6 twisted pair cabling. The AdderLink X-DVI extenders have been designed to be quick to install and totally transparent in operation. All connectors are industry standard and the video adjustments are made using simple keyboard button presses.

Installation Mounting the modules – desk or rack The X-DVI modules can be situated on a desk (or floor) or alternatively, for larger installations, mounted within an optional rack mount chassis. Desk mount Apply the supplied selfadhesive rubber feet to the underside of the module. UP G ® TO LI LO NK CA L ON Both modules have a block of four mini switches located on their side panels. All switches should remain OFF at all times during normal operation.
Connections at the local module Link connection 1 Attach one of the supplied ferrite cores to the link cable, next to the connector. This is necessary to ensure compliance with the European EMC directive and FCC regulations. 2 Connect the link cable (see page 2 for cable advice) to the local module socket labelled TO REMOTE. RE LI TE MO 1 Use the supplied DVI/D link cable to connect the DVI input socket of the local module to the digital video output socket of the computer.
Connections at the remote module 1 Attach one of the supplied ferrite cores to the link cable, next to the connector. This is necessary to ensure compliance with the European EMC directive and FCC regulations. 2 Connect the link cable (see page 2 for cable advice) to the remote module socket labelled TO LOCAL. LI LO NK CA 1 Connect the DVI/D lead from the video monitor to the DVI output socket of the remote module.

The X-DVI modules are fully upgradeable via flash upgrades in order to take advantage of Adder’s continual drive to improve products. Such upgrades require a Windows-based computer system to be linked via the special upgrade port located on the remote module. The upgrade process is handled by the KVM Firmware Uploader utility, which is available from the Adder Technology website (www.adder.com) and allows you to check the current revision of the X-DVI modules.
9 - Cycle the power Disconnect the power. Disconnect the remote module from the upgrade computer and return switch 1 on the remote module to its OFF position. Reconnect the modules in their normal manner. When the power is re-applied the X-DVI modules will operate using the new firmware. INSTALLATION ADVICE – Connect the supplied protective ferrites at each end of the CATx link cable and avoid disconnecting the CATx link cable whilst the product is operational (powered on).
Operation Power and activity indicators Each module provides two indicators to confirm power status and also feedback about the various input signals: TE MO ON NK Yellow: • On when a valid DVI video input signal is being received from the local module. Flashes regularly (twice per second) when no valid DVI video signal is being received from the local module. • Blinks in response to inputs from the keyboard/mouse. F Green: • On when power is present.
Further information The video image is showing some small flickering of the pixels • The combination of cable length and screen resolution may be causing data errors that the video monitor cannot currently resolve. Try adjusting the video compensation setting.
