OPERATION Operating instructions Operation of your computer is no different than having your keyboard, monitor, and mouse connected directly to the computer. All functions, applications, upgrades and other items can be done normally. The only difference is the computer can be up to 33,000 feet away. Local access on the CrystalView DVI Fiber allows an additional KVM station to be connected to the transmitter.
Carefully remove the four (4) Phillips screws from the bottom of the unit. If your model is a dual version, also remove the UNC screws that secure the video connectors. A- Remove the top cover exposing the internal PC board as shown below B- Locate jumpers JP1 and JP2.
5. Wait until the STATUS LINK LED illuminates 6. Connect the remote monitor’s video cable to the remote unit. (Turn on the remote monitor power if power is off) 7. The remote monitor’s DDC information will be read automatically, transferred to the local unit and stored into the DDC EPROM table. 8. The video OK LED on the local unit will blink rapidly for approximately 1 second upon successful programming of the remote DDC information. 9. Switch off the power on the local and remote units. 10.
Selecting moment of switching to next frame Normally the transmission of screen data is terminated when a frame is displayed on the screen. If the video source switches to a new frame during this display period, horizontal screen breaks may be seen. Jumper JP3 on the Remote unit’s PC board can be set to change the moment of switching. Remove the cover on the Remote unit and set JP3 accordingly.
