Page 5: Installation & Operation
Installation of the X100 modules is straightforward and minimal configuration requirements in most cases. The moulded CAM (Computer Access Module) connects directly to the system, while the remote X100 module is at the other end of the twisted pair cable and attaches to the keyboard, mouse, etc. -

Hotkeys signal to the X100 module that the next key to be pressed is a special configuration command for the module and is not to be passed to the computer system.

Page 9: Operation
Operation General use In use, the X100 modules should be transparent - the system and its peripherals should operate exactly as normal, the only difference being that they are now up to 100 metres or more apart. In some installations, you may see some ‘shadows’ to the right of high contrast screen characters. -
Page 10: Special Configuration
Special configuration Configuration You can alter the way that the X100 modules operate to suit your requirements. This is done using the Configuration mode and you can affect the following settings: • Password.setting – allows you to lock the remote module to prevent unauthorised system access. -
Page 11: Password.setting
Password protection allows you restrict access to the system only to authorised personnel. A password first needs to be set and then, using the keyboard attached to the remote X100 module, a simple key sequence allows the system to be quickly and securely detached from its peripherals. -

X100 modules. However, if this is not possible then you need to ‘hot plug’ the X100 modules while power is still applied to the system. There is not normally a danger of damage to the system, however, when mouse communications are interrupted, often they fail to reinitialise when reconnected. -
Page 13: Video.compensation.(Sharpness.and.brightness)
Video compensation (sharpness and brightness) Using the in-built X100 controls you can adjust the picture sharpness and brightness to improve the remote picture quality. Video compensation is best carried out when viewing high contrast images with vertical edges, such as black lines on a white background. When doing so, if you notice that the screen image is ‘fuzzy’... -
