INTRODUCTION The ST-C5USBV-300 USB Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable the relocation of a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse from a USB CPU or NTI USB KVM switch by as much as 300 feet via CAT5 cable in addition to having a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse connected locally. It is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.
Operating Systems Supported • • • • • Windows 98SE Windows 2000 Windows ME Window XP Window Vista • • • • • Linux 7.1 2.2 Kernel or greater Sun-Solaris 8 or greater MAC OS 9.1 or greater HP UNIX J5000 Free BSD Limitations • The XTENDEX will only work with USB keyboards and mice, other USB devices are not supported. • PS/2 devices can be connected to the XTENDEX through an NTI USB-PS/2 adapter, however the translation keys described on page 15 will not function in this application.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION • A location should be chosen for the monitor, mouse, and keyboard that also has space to mount the Remote Unit within the distance provided by the cables from the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables required. If a local user will be connected, a proper location must be chosen for these devices too. • The CAT5 cable(s) must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be placed.
INSTALLATION The Local Unit Connect to the CPU 1. Plug the cables of the Local Unit into the back of the CPU. (See Fig. 1.) a) Connect the blue 15HD cable from the Local Unit to the female VGA port on the back of the CPU. b) Connect the USB Type A cable from the Local Unit to a female USB Type A port on the back of the CPU.

Connect the CAT5 cable Connect the CAT5 cable to the “CAT5” port on the rear of the Remote Unit (see Fig. 8). (If an RJ45 wall outlet is being used, connect the other end of the extension cable to it.) When properly inserted the cable end should snap into place.
3. Slide each module into the tray and line up the holes in the mounting plate on the module with corresponding holes in the tray. Secure the module(s) using the two screws provided. Blank plates and screws are provided to cover empty module spaces.
Connect the CPU Connect a UMTINT-xx-MM (or UMTINTA-xx-MM if module has audio support) to the CPU, and then to the Local Unit at the connector marked “CPU”. Make sure all connections are firmly seated. (xx= 3, 6, 10, or 15 foot length) USB Type A male UMTINTA-3/6/10/15-MM 0.05 SCSI II series Connect to ST-C5USBVA-300M Local Unit at "CPU" AUDIO CONNECTOR line out 3.
Connect the CAT5 cable Connect the CAT5 cable to the “CAT5” port on the front of the Local Unit (see Fig. 8). When properly inserted the cable end should snap into place. Connect the other end of the cable to the “CAT5” port on the Remote Unit. WARNING: Never connect the ST-C5USBV-300M Extender to an Ethernet card, Ethernet router hub or switch or other Ethernet RJ45 connector of an Ethernet device. Damage to devices connected to the Ethernet may result.
Plug-in and Boot Up 1. Plug the power cord(s) from the monitor(s) into power outlet(s). 2. Connect the AC adapter power connectors to the 9VDC ports on the Remote and Local Units. (AC adapter shown in Fig. 9) 3. Plug the AC adapters into power outlets. The “Power” LED (Green) on the CAT5 connector of each unit should illuminate, indicating that a proper power connection has been made. 4. Turn ON the CPU and monitor(s).
COMMAND MODE The XTENDEX has two areas of user control that can be used as needed. The user can adjust video quality (described below) , or enable/disable MAC mode (see page 11) These controls are accessed by entering Command Mode. To enter Command Mode, simultaneously press the left and right keys on the keyboard connected to the Remote Unit. The keyboard LEDs will illuminate. To exit Command Mode, press .
MAC Mode MAC Mode enables the user to connect the Local Unit to a MAC CPU. MAC Mode configures the Local Unit for passing mouse information to the MAC CPU. This is useful when the user wants to use mouse drivers provided by the mouse vendor, which allows the use of programmable functions for each mouse button. The Local Unit can be configured whenever necessary. NOTE: When the port is connected to a PC or SUN CPU, MAC Mode should be OFF (the default setting). To do this; 1. Enter Command Mode.
