------------------------ Video Compensation Before operating, Video Compensation should be conducted. Hotkeys are used to adjust the Equalization on the Remote Unit to achieve optimum video signal for various cable lengths. There are five segments of CAT 5 cable lengths can be chosen from. To achieve the best visibility, please refer to the chapter of “Remote Station Unit Hotkeys Control” to adjust the video compensation.
------------------------ LED Indicators The LEDs on the ServerLink Extend Cat5 KVM Extender show the latest status which indicates the linking, communication, and control situation between Local Computer Unit and Remote Station Unit. Remote Station Unit LED Status Control Description Remote: Off, Local: On Remote Station Unit controls its local PC. Remote Station Unit is remotely taking control of the Local Computer Unit. In this mode, there are two statuses as follows: 1.
Local Computer Unit LED Status Control Description Local Computer Unit controls its local PC. In this Remote: Off, Local: On mode, the Remote Station Unit cannot take control of the Local Computer Unit remotely. Remote Station Unit is remotely taking control of the Remote: On, Local: Off Local Computer Unit.
-----------------Push Button: Switch to the control status The button on the panel of Local Computer Unit and Remote Station Unit respectively, can be pushed (switched) in sequence to select the operation modes. Button on Remote Station Unit The button on the panel of Remote Station Unit can be pushed (switched) in sequence to select the following two modes: Loc → Com(Remote) Local: Remote: The LED of Local is “On”.

The system is now waiting to be controlled by either Local Computer Unit or Remote Station Unit. Once the keyboard or mouse of Local Computer Unit is active, the LED of Local is on and the LED of Remote is off.
-----------------Hotkeys Control Hotkey commands are short keyboard sequences to select a computer, to activate computer scan, and so forth. The ServerLink Extend Cat5 KVM Extender is always interpreting keystrokes for hotkeys. A hotkey sequence starts with two left Ctrl keystrokes followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in buzzer generates a high-pitched beep for correct hotkey command, while one short and one long beeps are sounded for wrong commands.

-----------------Appendixes Cable Requirements The cable use to connect the Local Computer Unit and Remote Station Unit can be either Category 5, Category 5e or Category 6 terminated with RJ45 connectors. These are purchased separately. This cable is not provided with the standard package because it is subject to the different lengths you may require. The length of cable used should be less than 150m, otherwise poor results, especially for video resolution, may occur over distances beyond the limit.
