Cables

Depending on how many PC's you wish to configure, the following cables will be
required:
4 (CS164) HDB 15-pin male to male VGA Cables.
4 (CS164) PS/2 cables, male to male, for Keyboards.
4 (CS164) PS/2 cables, male to male, for the Mouse.
Note:
1. If your PC uses a standard AT style keyboard socket you will need to
purchase a PS/2-to-AT keyboard adapter in order to plug the cable into the
computer's keyboard port.
2. If your PC uses a standard 9-pin serial port for the mouse, you will need to
purchase a PS/2-to-Serial mouse adapter in order to plug the cable into the
computer's serial port.
3. Because of the wiring and pin assignments, you cannot use a Serial-to-PS/2
adapter at the end that plugs into the CS164/CS168. Therefore, attempting to
use a standard serial extender cable with adapters at both ends will fail.
