Installation Procedure The VoyagerUTP consists of a Local and a Remote Unit interconnected by a single structured cable that carries all the necessary signals. The Local unit is connected to the PCs keyboard, VGA ports and PS/2 mouse. The keyboard, monitor and mouse are connected directly to the Remote Unit. The Remote Unit is powered by an AC power supply (included) and the PC powers the Local Unit via the keyboard connection.

Figure 1 illustrates how the units are interconnected. 1. Switch off your PC and connect the VoyagerUTP, keyboard, monitor and mouse as shown in Figure 2. Set the ‘Peak’ control on the Remote Unit about midway, and set the ‘EQ’ control fully counter- clockwise (no video compensation).
OPERATION Keyboard & Mouse Emulation The VoyagerUTP uses a microprocessor to emulate the keyboard and mouse. This means that a keyboard and/or mouse do not have to be connected to the Voyager’s Remote Unit for your PC to boot. The PC will boot with only the Local Unit of the VoyagerUTP connected.
The Local-Remote interconnection cable is terminated in RJ45 connectors and should be wired according to the EIA/TIA 568 (Scheme B preferred) industry standard. Orientation: Looking into the RJ45 socket on the VoyagerUTP unit, Pin 1 is on the left and Pin 8 on the right.
Some PC’s have a port re-mapping feature which allows a keyboard or mouse to be plugged into either PS/2 port. Try crossing over the cables between the local unit and PC. (i.e. KB to Mouse & Mouse to KB.) Dakota Computer Solutions • 1579 Lexington Road •...

It may be possible to run up to 1,600ft (500m) at the standard VGA resolution (640x480). However, we cannot guarantee that this will work in every instance. Can VoyagerUTP units be chained to allow operation over more than 1,000 feet (300 meters)? Two units may be chained to allow operation over longer distances.
