2.4 Configuring your PC (s)
Configure your PC in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse, speakers, microphone and monitor
were all connected directly to your PC, but bearing in mind the following points:
•
C5 KVM emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse and PS/2 mice, so ensure that your PC software is
configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.
•
C5 KVM supports VGA/SVGA/XGA/XGA2 type monitors, but does not support the automatic detection features
available with some 'plug and play' monitors and video cards. If you have this type of video card and monitor,
you should select the video mode manually instead of relying upon the automatic detection feature.
2.5 Configuring the C5 KVM
The C5 KVM is supplied in a default state that is suitable for most applications. By default, the automatic
compensation mode is selected. In this mode the video compensation amplifiers will be automatically adjusted to
suit the twisted pair cable whenever the C5 KVM is switched on. Some users may wish to manually fine tune the
video compensation because the perfect adjustment for any given length of cable is subjective and depends upon
personal preference. If manual compensation is selected then the video only needs to be compensated once
during setup as the compensation value is stored by the C5 KVM and retained even when the power is off.
The KVM Extender C5 Junior is configured using the following:
1. Option switches (see section 2.6)
The option switches on the side of the C5 KVM select automatic or manual video compensation mode and the
keyboard hotkey combination that is used to access video compensation / configuration mode. They also control
some other hardware related functions.
2. Video compensation / configuration mode (see section 2.7)
This mode is entered by typing the hotkey combination (selected using the option switches) on the keyboard
attached to the remote receiver. Once within video compensation / configuration mode you can adjust the video
compensation and select other options using the keyboard. The selected options are saved and stored in the
remote unit when you exit compensation / configuration mode.
2.6 Setting the option switches
The option switches on the side of the C5 KVM remote and local units are used to select operating options. The
switches are continuously read by the C5 KVM and may be changed whilst the C5 KVM is powered on. The default
setting (all switches OFF) is suitable for most installations. The switches are shown in figures 7 and 8 and have
the following functions.
REMOTE unit – Switch 1
Set this switch to the OFF position for normal operation. This switch is used to set the C5 KVM remote unit into
upgrade mode so that new firmware can be downloaded into its flash program memory.
REMOTE unit – Switches 2 and 3
These switches select the hotkey combinations that are recognised by the C5 KVM. The chosen hotkey
combinations are used to enter compensation / configuration mode, lock the C5 KVM and disable the C5 KVM's
video.
