Computer System (Via Cam) - Lindy SC5 User Manual

Computer system (via CAM)

Each computer system is connected to the SC5
unit via a Computer Access Module (CAM) and
standard category 5, 5e or 6 cabling. CAMs
are available in various formats to suit differing
computer system types and their particular
connector styles.
Each CAM uses Keep Alive technology to
ensure that the keyboard and mouse inputs
to the computer remain active, even when
the particular channel is not selected. This action ensures that there are no
connection delays or problems as the port is selected.
To connect a computer system
1 Ensure that power is disconnected from the SC5 unit and the system to be
connected.
2 Locate the required CAM (there are five types available) and attach its video,
keyboard and mouse (PS/2-style, USB or Sun) and optional audio connectors
to the relevant sockets on the computer system.
A range of different
connector combinations
are made available
across the five CAM
formats
3 Lay a suitable length of category 5, 5e or 6 cabling between the computer
system and the SC5 unit. The maximum length of the cable can be up to 10
metres (32 feet), however, bear in mind that the overall distance between a
remote user and any computer must not exceed 300 metres (980 feet).

Note: Each CAM is
specifically shaped so
that it can be secured
using a cable tie around

its middle. In this way,
two CAMs can also be
neatly joined together,
back-to-back.
