CHAPTER 3: Installation
• If your computer CPU is farther than 2 m (6.5 ft.) from your Extender transmitter:
One or more cables to replace or extend the included cable for connecting
the CPU to the transmitter, up to a maximum distance of 5 m (15 ft.). You can
use VGA and PS/2 extension cables such as EVNPS05 and EVNPS03.
To attach a CPU with a PC/AT keyboard port, you’ll need a PS/2 to PC/AT
keyboard-port adapter such as product code FA212.
To attach a CPU with a serial mouse port, you’ll need a PS/2 to serial mouse-port
adapter such as product code FA314. (The Extender automatically converts
commands and data from the mouse’s PS/2 format to the CPU’s RS-232
format and vice versa; the adapter just changes the connector and pinning.)
For more information about cabling, see the Appendix. For assistance
figuring out which cables and adapters you’ll need, call Black Box Technical
Support.
• If you’ll be mounting an Extender transmitter or receiver on a wall or some
other non-horizontal flat surface, you’ll need adhesive mounting strips—
preferably the two-part type made with VELCRO
®
or other hook-and-loop
fasteners, so that after it’s mounted you can detach and reattach the Extender
as necessary.
