KE8900S Point-to-Point Installation
The KE8900S Slim HDMI KVM over IP Extender is a cost saving alternative
for installations that don't need a local console or audio transmission but want
the connectivity features of advanced KE models.
Setting up the KE8900S system in a point-to-point configuration is simply a
matter of plugging in the cables. Make sure that all the equipment is powered
off. Refer to the installation diagrams on the next page and do the following:
1. (Optional) Connect the grounding terminals of KE8900ST and KE8900SR
to a suitable grounded object using grounding wires.
2. Connect the USB HDMI KVM Cable provided with this package between
a computer and the KE8900ST. Please use the USB Type-B end of the
USB HDMI KVM Cable for the KE8900ST as it has a USB Type-B port.
3. Connect a Cat 5e/6 cable between the LAN ports of KE8900ST and
KE8900SR.
4. Connect a USB mouse/keyboard to the front panel of the KE8900SR and
HDMI monitor to the rear panel of the KE8900SR.
5. Plug the power adapters into power sockets; then plug the other ends
respectively into KE8900ST and KE8900SR's power jacks. For
KE8900ST, you can choose to use the terminal block for power input.
Insert DC + and - wires (DC 12 to 48V) to the terminal block according to
the icon.*
6. (Optional) For control of serial devices, connect the RS-232 serial port on
the KE8900ST to a serial port on the computer.
7. Power on the computer.
Setting up a LAN Installation
Setting up the units on a network allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint,
and multipoint-to-multipoint computer to console operation by connecting
multiple KE Series devices on the same TCP/IP LAN. To set up a LAN
installation, simply connect the Cat 5e/6 cable (in step 3) to the network instead
of directly between two KE Series devices. As an example, please refer to
KE6900 LAN Installation.
