2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your FC-70R away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

FC-70R - Overview

3 Overview

FC-70R is a protocol translator from RS-232 to USB signals to allow remote control

of HSL secure and non-secure products. HSL products are controlled using

keyboard, mouse and touch display (KVM combiners). FC-70R translates RS-232

control commands to enable remote control on secured KVM and KVM combiners.

The FC-70R features:

Enhanced Usability & Remote Control - Operates with HSL secure KVM, KM

and Combiner products.

Easy and Intuitive User Interface - Graphical user interface when connected

to Kramer control.

Remote Switching - When connected to Kramer Control or Kramer RC

devices.

Standards Compliance - Maintains ELA4+ and PPSV3.0 of HighSecLabs

products.

Connection Ports - Connects to HSL products via the USB port and to an

external controller via the RS−232 port.

USB Powered –Powered from the USB line. No power supply needed.

4 Connecting the FC-70R

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to

your FC-70R. After connecting the devices to your FC-70R, connect

its power and then switch on the power to each device.

To connect the FC-70R, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2, do the following:

1. Connect the USB-B connector on the back of the FC-70R to the USB

keyboard connection of the KVM or KVM combiner.

The FC-70R receives power over this connection.

2. Using an RS-232 cable, connect a control device (for example, an SL-1N) to

the RS-232 3-pin terminal block.

3. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB-A connectors.
