3.5 Local Unit Installation
To install a Local Unit:
1. Switch off the PC and any peripheral devices before connection.
2. Using the supplied CPU KVM cable(s), connect the keyboard, monitor(s) and mouse
connectors on the computer (or KVM switch) to the corresponding connectors on the
Local Unit as shown in Figure 5 (Standard) and Figure 6 (Audio/Serial).
Ensure that you attach the keyboard and mouse connectors to the correct ports. The
keyboard connector is purple; the mouse connector is green.
If your PC does not have a PS/2 mouse port, an active serial converter
will be required - Model No: AC244A.
3. If you have a dual access system, connect the keyboard, mouse and monitor for the local
console to the appropriate ports on the Local Unit. The ports may also be used to feed
into a KVM switch.
4. If you have an audio/serial unit, connect the audio serial cables between the computer
and Local Unit. Connect the audio cables as follows:
Computer Local Unit
Audio Out (green) Audio In
Audio In/Microphone (pink/blue) Audio Out
5. Connect the CATx cable from the Remote Unit to the INTERCONNECT socket on the
front of the Local Unit (see Figure 7).
6. Power up the PC and Remote Unit. The green LED on the Local Unit indicates the
powered status of the PC and Remote Unit, and the integrity of the CATx connection:
LED off PC not powered or keyboard PS/2 cable to Local Unit
disconnected.
LED on continuously Remote Unit not powered, CATx cable disconnected, or PC in
BIOS boot sequence.
LED flashing Remote Unit powered, data link operating correctly.
The Local Unit normally takes power through the PCs keyboard port. In
video only applications, this connection is not used and an external PSU
is required. Please contact Technical Support to obtain a suitable power
supply.
