OPERATION
No user adjustments are needed. The ViewLink CATx will automatically determine the
CATx cable length between the transmitter and receiver and automatically adjust the
gain to compensate for the calculated cable length. If needed, keyboard commands can
be issued to fine tune the video gain and equalization.
Apply power to the receiver unit, KVM monitor, and boot the PC. The monitor connected
to the receiver unit will display a clear, clean image of the boot sequence.
Operation
Operation of your system is no different than having your keyboard, monitor, and mouse
connected directly to a PC or KVM switch. The only difference is they can be up to
1,000 feet away. You can operate your system normally, programs can be executed,
maintenance can be performed, and any operation normally performed can be done with
no derogation in video quality and performance.
