CHAPTER 6: Installation

5. Power ON the monitor or KVM switch attached to the Remote Unit’s user

port. Dual-Access systems: Power ON any monitor or switch attached to the

Local Unit’s user ports.

6. Make sure that the remote keyboard functions and that you’re getting video

at the remote site. (Be aware that even though equipment attached to the

Local Unit is usually powered and enabled right away, the remote monitor,

keyboard, and mouse might take up to several seconds to be properly

initialized; see Section 7.3.3. Note also that the video quality might be poor at

this point if your interconnect cable is longer than 25 m [80 ft.].)

7. Make sure the remote mouse functions. (If your PC normally boots up in

DOS, you will need to run Windows or some application that supports the

mouse.)

8. Make sure that the audio devices attached to any of your Remote Units are

working.

If everything works in your test setup, repeat the procedures in Section 6.2 and 6.3

for your actual installation. (For information about rackmounting a Remote Unit,

see Appendix B.) If everything works in the actual installation, you can proceed to

adjust the remote site’s video (see Section 6.4). For pictures of complete

installations, see Figure 6-12 below and Figures 6-13 through 6-15 on the next

page.
