------------------------ Introduction
The KVM Extender consists of a Local unit and a Remote unit that
is suitable to locate a keyboard/monitor/mouse set up to 150 meters
away from a computer or KVM switch using an inexpensive Category
5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable. It provides an ideal and
convenient way to remotely access the computer which is located in a
secure, clean or dirty, harsh environment.
The KVM Extender is designed to enable one computer to be
controlled by one or two users. They are perfect to be used in factory
or construction areas where you want to secure your computers and
valuable data or manage them either in remote or both in remote and
local sites.
No software or dip switches are required, just plug and play. With one
push button, two LED indicators and simple hotkey commands, you
can manage this device easily.

------------------------ Video Compensation
Before operating, you may like to conduct the Video Compensation
first. In this case, the hotkeys are used to adjust the Equalization on
the Remote Unit to get optimum video signal for various cable
lengths. There are five segments of various lengths of CAT 5 cables
can be chosen from. To achieve the best visibility, please refer to the
chapter of “Remote Unit Hotkeys Control” to adjust the video
compensation.
First, assure that the length of CAT 5 cable you used now. Then, use
the hotkeys to adjust the video compensation. You can press Ctrl
twice , E and F11 keys followed, and the different beeps sounded to
indicate the setup of cable length respectively. Please refer to

------------------------ Operation
A keyboard and mouse must be connected to the Remote unit. And
then the system conducts the emulation for local computer which can
be controlled remotely. On the other hand, it does not need to use
keyboard, mouse and monitor if you don’t want to control the
computer locally.
------------------------ LED Indicators
The LEDs on the KVM Extender are showing the latest status which
indicates the linking, communication, and control situation between

----------------- Hotkeys Control
The KVM Extender interprets keystrokes for hotkeys all the time. A
hotkey sequence starts with two left Ctrl keystrokes followed by one
or two more keystrokes. A built-in buzzer generates a high-pitched
beep for correct hotkey command, while one short and one long
beeps are sounded for wrong commands. Thus, the bad key
commands will not be forwarded to the selected modes.
There is an unique Hotkey command of Ctrl + Ctrl + Alt+E you
should be well aware when the KVM Extenders are connected to
other KVM Switches.
To switch to this mode, press left Ctrl twice, hold Alt and press E
key(press both keys simultaneously). This function is used to prevent
from misunderstanding once the system is connected to NewStar’s
KVM Switches. Thus, the user can choose either the control mode of
KVM Extender or the number of computer connected to the KVM
Switches.
