Introduction  
The XTENDEX Series ST-C5KVM-600 PS/2 KVM Extender is designed to enable one PS/2 CPU to be  
controlled by two users, one local and one remote. The remote user can be located as much as 600 feet away  
from a PS/2 CPU via Category 5 shielded twisted-pair cable. The local user will be located near the PS/2 CPU.  
The XTENDEX Series ST-C5KVM-600 PS/2 KVM Extender is extremely simple to install and has been  
thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance. Through the use of Category 5 shielded twisted-pair cable it is  
possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system. Here are some of the features and ways  
this can benefit any workplace:  
Allows the placement of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse in a location where only these parts are  
needed without having the CPU there too, taking up valuable space  
Allows a PS/2 CPU to be accessed by both a local and remote user (up to 600 feet away)  
Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems  
Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1280 x 1024 @ 600 feet  
Compatible with all NTI PS/2 switches and splitters, enabling the joining of products to create a  
system that satisfies all networking needs  
Video quality adjustment, for varying lengths of cable, is automatic providing optimum image quality

Limitations  
Hot-plugging of devices is supported provided devices were originally connected at power-up.  
Devices connected to the Local and Remote Units must be identical. Same mice, same keyboards, etc.  
In order for two users to share a PS/2 CPU, the user in control must pause for at least 3 seconds before  
another user can take control. After the 3 second pause, either user can take control of the CPU.  
Preparation for Installation  
Locations should be chosen for the monitors, mice, and keyboards that also have space to connect the  
Remote and Local Units within the distance provided by the cables. If extension cables are needed,  
contact NTI for the cables required.  
The CAT5 cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be connected.  
NOTE: If CAT5 cable is already installed in the wall and there are RJ45 wall outlets, it will be necessary to  
obtain male-to-male straight through connection cables long enough to reach from the wall outlets to the  
connection locations of the Remote and Local Units.  
A properly grounded, polarized, and preferably surge-protected 120V or 240V electrical outlet (depending  
on the AC adapter being used) must be installed close enough to the connection location of the Remote  
and Local Units, monitors, and CPU to plug them into.  
All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the  
equipment. Extended lengths of cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that  
connection. Secure cables as needed to minimize this.  
Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the CPU and monitors to be separated. If other  
equipment is involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals  
for that equipment for proper disconnection and re-connection procedures before proceeding.

RJ45 wall outlet.  
!
WARNING: Never connect the ST-C5KVM-600 Extender to an ethernet card, ethernet router,  
hub or switch or other ethernet RJ45 connector of an ethernet device. Damage to devices connected  
to the ethernet may result.

4. Make sure the CAT5 cable has been installed in accordance with the “Preparation for Installation”  
instructions on page 3. Connect the CAT5 cable to the “Cat 5” port on the Remote Unit. (See Fig. 3.)  
When properly inserted the CAT5 cable end should snap into place.  
Note: If an RJ45 wall outlet is being used, connect the other end of the extension cable to the RJ45  
wall outlet.  
!
WARNING: Never connect the ST-C5KVM-600 Extender to an ethernet card, ethernet router,  
hub or switch or other ethernet RJ45 connector of an ethernet device. Damage to devices connected  
to the ethernet may result.  
Plug-in and Boot Up  
1. Plug the power cord from the monitor into the power outlet.  
2. Connect each AC adapter power connector to the 5VDC ports on the Remote and Local Units. Make sure  
the power connectors go into each port all the way. Plug each AC adapter into a power outlet. The yellow  
LED on the RJ45 connector of both the Remote and Local Units should illuminate, indicating that a proper  
power connection has been made to them. (See Fig. 4.)

Figure 4- Connect the AC adapter to the Remote Unit  
3. Turn ON the CPU and Monitor. They should each react as if they were directly connected to each other.  
NOTE: The green LED on each RJ45 connector will illuminate anytime data traffic is passing between  
the Local and Remote Units, indicating proper CAT5 cable connection and communication. (See Fig. 4)

Video Quality  
Video quality adjustment is done automatically to assure the image is as clear as possible.  
Note: When the cable is longer than 300 feet some colored lines can be seen at the black-to-white  
transitions. This is a normal behavior and is caused by the different twisting rates of each pair of wires  
in the CAT5 cable.
