INSTALLATION

4 VIEWLINK CATX INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

The only cable needed to install the basic configuration of the ViewLink CATx

is the CATx cable that connects the transmitter to the receiver. Care should

be used when routing the CATx cable. Avoid routing the cable close to

machinery or electronic equipment. The electro-mechanical emissions may

cause interference and undesirable video performance.

Installation

Installing the ViewLink CATx is a very easy plug-and-play process. For the PC, PS/2

and USB models simply connect the HD15M connector on the transmitter to the

HD15F video out connector on the PC. Connect the PS/2 or USB keyboard and

mouse cables to the corresponding connector ports on the PC. Connect the receiver

directly to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse cables used for the KVM station.

Connect the power adapter to the receiver unit’s power port. Finally, connect the

transmitter’s RJ45 connector to the receiver’s RJ45 connector using up to 1,000 feet of

CATx cable.

If you are using a flat panel monitor, Rose Electronics has designed a universal

mounting bracket that can be attached to any edge of a receiver unit and secured to

the back of a flat panel monitor. An example of using this bracket is shown below.

The bracket can be mounted vertically (as shown) or horizontally.

NOTE: See Appendix C and D for proper grounding and video only installation

Installing the Switch model –

For the Switch DB25 model, connect the transmitter’s DB25M connector to a KVM

switch’s DB25F KVM input connector. Connect the receiver directly to the keyboard,

monitor, and mouse cables used for the KVM station. Connect the power adapter to

the receiver unit’s power port. Finally, connect the transmitter’s RJ45 connector to the

receiver’s RJ45 connector using up to 1,000 feet of CATx cable.

NOTE1: Distance will vary depending on resolution used
