Instruction Manual 1
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com KVM extender. This product allows a computer to
control a host system from a remote location at a distance of up to 500 feet (150 meters). For
ease of installation, this product uses standard Category 5, 5E, or 6 network cabling that ts
easily into almost any existing network infrastructure. For added versatility, the KVM extender
supports either PS/2 or USB computer interfaces. Console support is provided using standard
USB and VGA connectors.
Features
• Can be used with a single computer or connected to an existing KVM switch
• Easy installation using industry-standard UTP network cable
• Intuitive hotkey commands
• Supports auto-switching between host and remote users or dedicated control
• USB computers are supported at the host and remote locations (USB keyboard and mouse
required for remote console)
System Requirements
• 1 x integrated KVM cable each for the host and remote computers. Longer cables are
available from StarTech.com, part numbers: SVECONx (PS/2), SVECONUSx (USB)
• Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-through network cable terminated at
each end with RJ-45 connectors (if using surface cabling)
OR
• Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-through network cable terminated at
each end in a wall-mounted outlet, with a standard Category 5/5e/6 patch cable, at both
locations (if using premises cabling)
NOTE: The total length of cable between the Host and Remote Units cannot exceed 500 feet
(150 meters), including patch cables (if used). Category 5e and 6 cabling is compatible with this
product and may improve performance.
NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Host and Remote Units may adversely aect image
quality at high resolutions and refresh rates. If you need to run your remote displays at high
resolutions and frequencies, use as little cabling between locations as possible and avoid
practices such as “coiling” unused cable in a ceiling.
Instruction Manual 2
This product will also control a KVM switch, allowing you to manage more than one computer
remotely. In this conguration, you can connect the KVM extender’s Host Unit to the “console”
ports on the KVM. You must use the provided power adapters if using this conguration. You
should set the Host Unit to Compatibility Mode before connecting it to a KVM that uses the [Ctrl]
key as its hotkey sequence; see page 8 for details.
Package Contents
• 1 x Host Unit
• 1 x Remote Unit
• 1 x Instruction Manual
• 2 x Power adapters
• 2 x 6 ft. 2-in-1 USB VGA KVM cables
• 1 x Set of rubber mounting feet
Instruction Manual 3
Connecting Your KVM Extender
Preparing Your Site
Before you can install the the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the host computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located and place
them appropriately.
3. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Host Unit to the Remote Unit’s location, and
that each end is terminated with a RJ-45 connector.
OR
b) If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) network cabling between the Host Unit and the Remote Unit has been properly
terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long enough to
connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit to their respective outlets.
Instruction Manual 4
Installing the Host Unit
1. Place the Host Unit near the computer.
2. Switch o the computer and disconnect any connected devices.
3. Using the provided StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (see page 15 for alternative part
numbers), connect the end of the cable that has two (USB) or three (PS/2 + VGA) connectors
to the VGA Out connector and the USB or mouse and keyboard PS/2 connectors on the
computer as appropriate. (The PS/2 version of the cable is color-coded.) Connect the
opposite end of the cable with a single connector to the gray-coded connector marked
COMPUTER on the Host Unit of the KVM extender.
4. If you wish to have console access to the host computer, connect a USB mouse, keyboard,
and VGA monitor to the indicators marked as CONSOLE on the Host Unit.
5. Connect the UTP cable connection for Remote Unit to the NETWORK RJ-45 connector on the
Host Unit. Connect the opposite end to a terminated wall outlet (if you are using premises
cabling).

3. Using a StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (see page 15 for part numbers), connect the end
of the cable that has two (USB) or three (PS/2) connectors to the VGA Out connector and the
USB or mouse and keyboard PS/2 connectors on the computer as appropriate. (The PS/2

connector to the gray-coded connector marked COMPUTER on the Remote Unit of the KVM
extender.
4. Connect a USB mouse, keyboard, and a VGA monitor to the indicators marked as CONSOLE
on the Remote Unit.
5. Connect the UTP cable connection for Remote Unit to the NETWORK RJ-45 connector on
the Remote Unit. Connect the opposite end to a terminated wall outlet (if using premises
cabling).
CAUTION: The UTP network cables that connect the Host and Remote Units
carry electrical current and should not be plugged in to other devices, as they
may cause damage. We strongly recommend marking the cables you are
using with this product at both locations for easy identication.
Instruction Manual 6
Video Compensation
Video Compensation allows the user to adjust the equalization on the Remote Unit to optimize
video performance based on the length of cable being used, as well as other factors that
may aect . There are ve segments of various lengths of CAT 5 cables from which to chose;
to achieve the best visibility, please refer to the section titled Keyboard Shortcut Command
Sequences, to adjust the video compensation.
First, note the length of CAT 5 cable you used. Then, use the hotkeys to adjust the video
compensation accordingly. You can use the hotkey sequence as outlined in the section titled
Keyboard Shortcut Command Sequences.

Instruction Manual 7
Using the KVM Extender
This section details how to use your KVM extender at both the host and remote locations.
Using the Host Unit
The Host Unit allows users connected to the Host and Remote units to share control of devices
(hosts, computers, KVM Switches) connected to it.
The Host Unit has three modes that control which user may access the system at a given
time: Auto (the KVM extender looks for keyboard or mouse activity from both A and B and
automatically accepts input from the active console), Local (only the user seated at the Host unit
can access the system), and Remote (only the user at the Remote station can access the system).
You can use either keyboard shortcuts (if there is a keyboard and mouse attached) or the mode
switch on the top of the Host Unit to control which user has access to devices connected to the
Host unit, by pressing the button in sequence.
By default, the Host Unit operates in Auto mode, and switches to the next mode in the sequence
each time the switch is pressed as follows:
Having a keyboard and mouse attached to the console ports on the Host Unit is recommended,
since it oers access to a number of extended features.
