Installation Advice

• For correct operation, the local and remote units must have ground
connections. At the computer end, ensure that the computer or KVM switch
that the LOCAL module is connected to has a ground connection. At the
keyboard/monitor/mouse end, ensure that the REMOTE module's power
supply is connected to a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground
connection will be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.
• Try to avoid laying the interconnect cable alongside power cables where
possible.
