keyboard with a USB mouse.

3. Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM adapter cable that is appropriate for the

computer you are installing.

Note: To support a resolution of 1280x1024, the recommended maximum distance between the unit and the

KVM adapter cable is 50 meters.

4. Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer. Plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cable into the

appropriate ports of the computer you are installing.

5. Plug the female end of the power cord into the KH1508

A / KH1516A's power socket; plug the male end into an

AC power source.
