Kongsberg Simrad EK80 Installation Manual page 113

Cable layout and interconnections
Ethernet cable between the KVM units is specified by the KVM manufacturer. Unless
otherwise specified, this cable must be provided by the installation shipyard.
Note
Unless specified in a contract, a KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) system is not included in
the standard EK80 delivery. These are commercial items that can be purchased locally.
KVM Modular housing
Each KVM Transmitter and Receiver is provided
as a printed circuit board, and these must be
placed in a modular housing unit. Depending on
type, each housing unit can accept two or more
circuit boards. The housing unit contains an
integrated power supply. For redundancy purposes it will also operate from an external
5VDC power supply. The housing unit can be installed on a desktop, on the bulkhead
or in a 19" rack using dedicated adapters.
KVM Modular Receiver board
Each KVM Modular Receiver board is mounted in a dedicated housing unit at the remote
operating position. The receiver distributes the video signal to the display, and allows
you to connect a keyboard and a mouse.
KVM Modular Transmitter board
Each KVM Modular Transmitter board is mounted in a dedicated housing unit close to
the EK80 Processor Unit. The transmitter accepts the video signal from the Processor
Unit. It also connects with a USB cable to provide keyboard and mouse functionality to
the remote position. Each transmitter can be connected to one receiver.
