Limitations; Preparation For Installation - NTI XTENDEX Series ST-C5VRS-600 Installation And Operation Manual

Limitations

Limitations
•
RS232 devices connected to the Local and Remote Units must be identical.
•
The RS232 ports on the Local and Remote Units will support serial devices other than touchscreen monitors
as follows:
•
2 simple devices (i.e. mice) connected to each unit, or
•
1 complex device (i.e. serial modem, RS232 command port on an NTI switch) connected to
either the Remote or Local Unit.
•
Even though two users will have full access to the single CPU, if both users attempt to access the CPU at
the same time, there will be a conflict. For example, if both the local and remote users are attempting to
move the mouse pointer, it may jump around the screen and move in unintended directions.
•
The maximum baud rate supported by the RS232 port is 56K bits per second and the attached CPU must
be configured accordingly.

Preparation for Installation

Preparation for Installation
•
Locations should be chosen for the touchscreen monitors that also have space to connect the Remote and
Local Units within the distance provided by the cables.
cables required.
•
The CAT5 cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be connected. Be
careful to route the cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might
reduce the quality of the video signal (i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, etc.). NOTE: If CAT5 cable is
already installed in the wall and there are RJ45 wall outlets, it will be necessary to obtain male-to-male
straight through connection cables long enough to reach from the wall outlets to the connection locations of
the Remote and Local Units.
•
A properly grounded, polarized, and preferably surge-protected 120V or 240V electrical outlet (depending
on the AC adapter being used) must be installed close enough to the connection location of the Remote and
Local Units and monitors to plug them into.
•
All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the
equipment. Extended lengths of cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that
connection. Secure cables as needed to minimize this.
•
Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the CPU, monitor, and RS232 device to be separated.
If other equipment is involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction
manuals for that equipment for proper disconnection and re-connection procedures before proceeding.
