Features
and Benefits
For all practical purposes, LongView works just
like an ordinary extension cord, allowing remote
operation of your keyboard, mouse, monitor, speak-
ers, microphone and a serial device (such as a
touchscreen) up to 152 meters from your com-
puter. LongView consists of a Transmitter and
cable assembly at the computer’s system unit, one
Category 5 UTP extension cable (purchased sepa-
rately), and a Receiver connected to your peripher-
als at the remote location. LongView can be pow-
ered from either the Transmitter or Receiver
location using a single wall-mount power supply.
Choose the location most convenient for you.
A single Category 5 cable with four unshielded
twisted pairs (UTP) is used to extend the
computer peripherals up to 152 meters away
from the computer.
SVGA resolutions up to 1600x1200 are supported.
See the Appendices for details.
Standard PS/2 keyboards are supported.
PS/2 mice, including the Microsoft IntelliMouse,
or serial mice are supported.
When using a PS/2 mouse, LongView can also
extend the computer’s COM serial port to the
desktop to be used for devices such as touchscreens,
modems, or serial printers. LongView automati-
cally configures itself for any COM data rate up to
19.2Kbps.
