2. Installation of the KVM Extender C5
2.1 What you will need
•
A category 5 (or better) twisted pair cable of the required length to connect the C5 KVM local and remote units
together. These cables contain 4 pairs of twisted wires. Specifications and recommended cable types are given
in appendix A. The C5 KVM supports cable lengths up to 200 metres. Structured wiring within buildings may
also be used together with suitable patch cables but the number of cable connections should be kept to a
minimum to maximise signal quality.
•
Cables to connect the C5 KVM local unit to your computer. A two metre connection cable is provided with the
C5 KVM. The cable may be extended using standard KVM extension cables. Cable specifications are given in
appendix A.
•
A monitor with a standard VGA/SVGA (15 pin) connector that will work when connected directly to your
computer. C5 KVM supports low and high resolution monitors.
•
A standard AT or PS/2 style keyboard. If you are using an AT keyboard with a 5 pin connector you may
connect this to the C5 KVM using a standard AT to PS/2 keyboard adaptor.
•
A PS/2 style two or three button Microsoft or Logitech compatible mouse or a Microsoft IntelliMouse
compatible mouse.
(The C5 KVM supports 'Internet Mice' that are compatible with the Microsoft IntelliMouse. These are fitted with
a wheel or other scroll control and sometimes have additional buttons. Examples are: Microsoft IntelliMouse,
Logitech Pilot Mouse+, Logitech MouseMan+, Genius NetMouse and Genius NetMouse Pro.)
•
A suitable mouse driver for your PC(s). Supported types are:
- PS/2 or RS232 two button mouse driver (any manufacturer).
- Microsoft mouse driver (including IntelliMouse).
- Logitech mouse driver (including two button, three button and wheel mouse)
Use of PS/2 and RS232 style mice with the C5 KVM - The mouse connections from the C5 KVM to PCs support
either a PS/2 or an RS232 mouse. The C5 KVM automatically converts from the PS/2 mouse commands to RS232
serial mouse commands. Serial mice types are selected by using an adaptor as described in appendix A. The C5
KVM will operate without a mouse connected if you do not wish to use one.
2.2 Mounting the C5 KVM
The C5 KVM has been designed to be used either on a desktop or mounted in a 19 inch rack. If you wish to use
the C5 KVM on a desktop then you will need to stick the self-adhesive rubber feet onto the underside of each C5
KVM module (one is supplied for each corner).
If the C5 KVM is to be mounted in a 19 inch rack then you will need the optional C5 series rack mounting chassis
(Part No. 39388) and a rack securing plate for each local module that you wish to rack mount (Part No. 39360)
The C5 KVM may also be mounted on a suitable vertical surface, such as the side of a desk, with the use of strong
Velcro strips.
