INSTALLATION
Installation
Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any installation
or configuration of the CrystalView DVI CATX.
When installing the CrystalView DVI CATX, locate the transmitter as close as
possible to the CPU or switch. Keep the cables as short as possible but still
give some freedom of movement. Using shorter cables keeps the video noise
to a minimum and reduces installation costs. You can mount the CrystalView
DVI CATx in a CPU rack with the optional rack mount kit. When mounting the
units in a rack, follow the instructions in Appendix D and Appendix E. Provide
adequate air circulation to assure that the maximum operating temperature is
not exceeded.
Wherever the transmitter and receiver units are located, they should be on a
secure surface and free from obstructions and objects that may cause
damage to the units.

OPERATION
Operating instructions – Local KVM access
Operation of your computer is no different than having your keyboard,
monitor, and mouse connected directly to the computer. All functions,
applications, upgrades and other items can be done normally. The only
difference is the computer can be up to 450 feet away.
CrystalView DVI CATx with local KVM access allows an additional KVM
station to be connected to the transmitter. The CPU can easily be operated
from the remote KVM station or the local KVM station but not simultaneously.
The transmitter or local unit is active during boot-up and the connected CPUs
video is displayed on both the local and remote KVM stations monitor. To
activate the remote KVM station, simply press any key on the remote KVM
stations keyboard. Control is passed to the remote KVM station. To activate
the local KVM station, press any key on the KVM station’s keyboard.
The dual video models have the capability of connecting the transmitter to two
video sources. The two video sources are sent to the receiver and displayed
on it’s two video monitors. Video source one should be connected to the
computer’s primary DVI video port that is associated with the keyboard and
mouse.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting section is used as a guide to understanding the
capabilities of the CrystalView DVI CATx and for general troubleshooting. If
you have any problems or questions concerning the installation, operation or
usage of the CrystalView DVI CATx that is not covered in this manual, please
contact Rose Electronics for technical support.
There isn’t a picture.
• Check the power supply connection at the Local unit. Is the Power (Red
LED) at the Local unit illuminated (see page 8)? If not, the internal
power-supply may be damaged or there may be an internal error.
• Check the power supply connection at the remote unit. Is the Power
(Red LED) at the Remote unit illuminated (see page 8)? If not, the
internal power-supply may be damaged or there may be an internal
error.
• Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and
the Remote Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated (see page 8)? If not,
there may be a problem with the Interconnection cable:
• Are there Errors through data transmission over CATX Cable (Cable too
long, too high attenuation or too much EMI interferences )? Is the Data
Error LED illuminated or blinking (see page 8)? If yes, check cable
length and environment.
• Video Okay LED is dark: CPU does not provide a video signal – Check
settings of the graphic card. Try out, connecting a monitor to the local
output, to see, whether there is a signal or not.
Keyboard
The PC boots fine with no error messages but the keyboard does not work
• Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.
• Try a different model of keyboard. If the new keyboard works then
original one may be incompatible
• Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and
the Remote Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated (see page 8)?
PS2-Mouse
A mouse cursor appears on the screen, but the mouse does not work
• Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.
• Try a different model of mouse
The system does not detect a PS/2 mouse, or the application cannot
find the mouse.
• Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.
• Ensure that the Local Unit is connected to the PC keyboard port to
provide power
