Page 9: Glossary
OVERVIEW Overview Introduction A CatX KVM Extender is mainly used, to extend the maximum distance between a CPU and his Keyboard / Monitor / Mouse considerably. In addition they are beneficial in installations in electromagnetic hazardous environments (EMI). Normal Keyboard-/ Monitor-/ Mouse extender cables (and Extender using traditional cables) cannot go so far and EMI interferences may reduce the maximum distance and/or reliability. - Page 10 DVI-D CAT X KVM-EXTENDER CPU with DVI-D Graphic card Local Console Optional Monitor DVI-D Cat X KVM- Extender system Remote Console Optional Serial / Audio Optional Monitor DVI-D Cat X – KVM Extender system (example)

Page 35: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Monitor There isn’t a picture. Check the power supply connection at the local and remote unit. Is the Power (Red LED) at the Local unit illuminated (see page 29)? If not, the internal power-supply may be damaged or there may be an internal error. Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote Unit. - Page 36 DVI-D CAT X KVM-EXTENDER Try a different model of keyboard. If the new keyboard works then original one may be incompatible Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated (see page 29)? The other console is active.
- Page 37 TROUBLESHOOTING or horizontally graduated colors – better use monochrome backgrounds. They allow higher compression -> higher frame rates. Your mouse is moving like ‘hanging on a rubber band’ This problem derives from different single problems, which accumulate to a delay between the true mouse movement and displaying the movement of the mouse pointer on the screen.
