4.2 The Cables You’ll Need
If you are using the ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 KVM Micro Extender to get greater
distance between a CPU and a VGA monitor, PS/2 keyboard, and PS/2 mouse,
your Micro Extender package should have included everything you’ll need except
for your Unit-interconnection cable. Read Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.3, and 4.2.5 carefully,
then skip ahead to Chapter 5.
If you are using the Micro Extender to get greater distance between a ServSwitch
family KVM switch and a CPU, a user station (monitor/keyboard/mouse), or a
compatible switch, you might need additional non-included cabling. Read the
relevant sections on the next few pages, from Section 4.2.1 through Section 4.2.5.
If you are using any equipment with PC/AT style connectors, you might also
need some combination of these adapters:
• To attach a CPU or KVM switch with a 5-pin DIN female keyboard
connector
to the Local Unit: A keyboard-port adapter such as product code FA211.
• To attach a CPU or KVM switch with an RS-232 serial DB9 male mouse connector
to the Local Unit
: A mouse-port adapter such as product code AC244A. (If the
mouse port is DB25 rather than DB9, you’ll also need an FA521A serial adapter
.)
•
To attach a keyboard or KVM switch with a 5-pin DIN male keyboard connector
to the Local or Remote Unit:
A keyboard adapter such as product code FA212.
