how to install KE6910

Installing the KE6910 is designed to be straightforward so you can quickly gain remote access to a host PC without complex configuration. Follow these general steps to set up the KE6910 transmitter and receiver across an IP network:

• Power down the host computer and the KE6910T/KE6910R units before making connections.
• Connect the KE6910T transmitter to the host computer using the DVI-D Dual Link video cable and attach a USB keyboard or mouse to the transmitter’s USB ports as needed.
• Connect the KE6910R receiver to the remote console hardware. Attach a monitor via DVI-D Dual Link to the receiver and connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the remote console if required.
• Link the transmitter and receiver over the network by placing both on the same LAN or across VPN-enabled networks as appropriate. Ensure network cables and switches support the required bandwidth and latency tolerances for your workload.
• Power on both units and perform any initial setup on the KE6910R to recognize the host system. If EDID management or display settings are required, configure these options to ensure the best video compatibility with your monitor at the remote site.
• Test the remote session by moving the mouse, typing on the keyboard, and verifying that the remote console mirrors the host’s actions in real time. Make any necessary adjustments to latency, image quality, or peripheral behavior for optimal operation.
