2. Make sure that the computer and the monitor that the KA7171 /
KA7171AK / KA7174 connects to are also properly grounded.
3. For increased grounding protection, use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable
to connect the local console to the KVM switch. There are two methods
that can be used:
1. In addition to the eight paired wires, STP cable also contains a
grounding wire. Solder this wire to the RJ-45 connector as shown here:
2. The second method is to use the STP cable shielding for grounding. In
this case, make sure that the shielding makes tight contact with the
inside of the RJ-45 connector, at its top, as shown here:
In either case, make sure that the sides of the RJ-45 connector make tight
contact with the grounding contacts on the sides of the RJ-45 socket.
Note: Make sure that the power to any device that you connect to the
installation has been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any
computers with the Keyboard Power On function.
