ViewLink CATX INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
No user adjustments are needed. The ViewLink CATx will automatically
determine the CATx cable length between the transmitter and receiver and
automatically adjust the gain to compensate for the calculated cable length. If
needed, keyboard commands can be issued to fine tune the video gain and
equalization.
Apply power to the receiver unit, KVM monitor, and boot the PC. The monitor
connected to the receiver unit will display a clear, clean image of the boot
sequence.
Operation
Operation of your system is no different than having your keyboard, monitor, and
mouse connected directly to a PC or KVM switch. The only difference is they
can be up to 1,000 feet away. You can operate your system normally, programs
can be executed, maintenance can be performed, and any operation normally
performed can be done with no derogation in video quality and performance.
