XTENSYS INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

System Overview
The Xtensys switch is designed with the latest in KVM switching technology. It has the capability and flexibility to
configure to most keyboards, video monitors, mice, servers, computers, and serial devices. The Xtensys switch
provides the framework for a complete switching system. Remote users, computers, servers, and serial devices all
interface to the Xtensys switch over CATx cabling.
The Xtensys design makes the unit easy to install, expand, and maintain. The Xtensys switch can be easily
expanded to additional switches which can increase the number of computers that can be accessed. The complete
system consists of the Xtensys switch or switches if the system is expanded, one or more user stations, CATx
transmitters as required for each connected computer, and the computers, servers, and serial devices that will be
connected.
KVM user station
A KVM user station, consisting of a Keyboard, Video monitor, and Mouse, connects directly to the corresponding
connectors on the rear panel of the user station. A KVM station can also be connected directly to Xtensys for local
access (optional).
KVM Station Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard and mouse that is connected to the user station or locally to the switch can be PS/2 or USB.
KVM Station Video Monitor
The KVM Station video monitor should be capable of supporting the resolution, frequency, and sync type being sent
by all connected computer. It is recommended that the KVM monitor be a multi-sync monitor capable of resolutions
up to 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz or better.
Computers
The multi-platform support of the Xtensys switch makes it compatible with PCs (PS/2 or USB), UNIX systems, Sun,
Mac, and compatible serial devices.
CATx Transmitter
Each connected computer uses a CATx transmitter that connects directly to the computer’s keyboard, monitor, and
mouse ports. The CATx transmitter sends keyboard, mouse, and video signals via CATx cable to the Xtensys
switch. The CATx transmitter’s video connector is HD15M and connects directly to the video out HD15F port on a
computer. The keyboard and mouse connectors are available with PS/2 or USB connectors.
The transmitter will automatically adjust the gain and equalization for different CATx cable lengths and the skew
compensation for perfect video with no manual adjustments. The Xtensys switch can support serial devices such as
routers, hubs, and computers that require a serial interface.
Cabling
KVM user stations, computers and servers, and expansion units are easily connected to the Xtensys switch with
industry standard CATx cables. Cables are usually purchased along with the Xtensys to provide quick, trouble-free
installation. Provide adequate strain relief for the CATx cables to relieve excess tension on the connectors.
Keyboard Commands
Appendix E lists the available keyboard commands that can be issues to perform a cable length measurement and
the commands to fine tune the video gain and equalization if needed.
Avoid routing cables close to fluorescent lights, air compressors, high voltage power sources and
machinery that may create electrical noise or interference with the operation of the Xtensys switch.
