Connecting Up
Refer to the installation diagram on the following page (the numbers in the
diagram correspond to the numbers of the steps), as you perform these steps:
1. Plug the cables from the local console devices (keyboard, monitor,
mouse), into their ports on the rear panel of the Local Unit (CE250
AL).
2. Plug the SPHD end of the KVM cable supplied with this unit into the
KVM port on the front panel of the CE250
AL.
Note: The shape and function of the connectors on the cable and KVM
switch have been modified so that only KVM cables designed to
work with this switch can be used.
3. Plug the connectors on the other end of the cable into the appropriate ports
on the computer (or Console section of the KVM switch - if you are using
one). Each connector is marked with an appropriate icon to indicate itself.
4. Plug one end of a Cat 5 or higher STP cable into the CE250
AL's Remote I/
O port. Plug the other end of the cable into the CE250

Note: STP cable is not supplied with this package. It requires a separate
purchase. The cable can be up to 150 m (500 ft) long.
5. Plug the cables from the remote console devices (keyboard, monitor, and
mouse), into their ports on the Console side of the CE250
AR.
6. Plug the power adapter (supplied with this package) into an AC source;
plug the adapter's power cable into the Remote Unit’s (CE250
AR's) Power
Jack.
7. If you choose to use a power adapter with the CE250
AL, plug the power
adapter into an AC source; plug the adapter's power cable into the
CE250
AL's Power Jack.
