5. Local Unit Operation
5.1 Overview
You need to read this section if you have purchased an extender system kit containing both a
Local and Remote unit.
For more information about serial/audio port operation, see Appendix E: Audio/Serial
Ports, page 58.
Keyboard and Mouse Emulation
Local units have keyboard and mouse emulation. The attached PC operates normally without
requiring a keyboard or mouse to be attached to either the Remote or Local units (in the case
of a dual access system). You can therefore replace any keyboard or mouse attached to the
extender system without disrupting the operation of the computer.

Dual Head Video
Local units (ACU2201A and ACU2222A) may require an external 5V PSU:
For video only applications.
If the PC cannot provide sufficient power through the keyboard connection.
If this is the case, the power LED on the front of the Local unit will be dim (See Figure 7).
