How to install Black Box KVXLCDP-100 KVM Extender

• Plan your layout: Position the transmitter near the host computer and the receiver near the remote console, ensuring adequate space for ventilation and cable management.
• Connect the host to the transmitter: Use the appropriate keyboard, video, and USB connections from the host to the transmitter unit. Verify that all cables are firmly seated and organized to prevent strain on connectors.
• Link the transmitter to the receiver: Establish the extender link between the two units using the recommended cabling or the included link hardware. Ensure the path is clear of interference and physical damage.
• Connect the remote console: Attach the display, keyboard, and mouse to the receiver so the operator can interact with the host system from the remote location.
• Power up and verify: Apply power to both units if required by your configuration, then power on the host and the remote console. Check that video appears on the display and that keyboard and mouse respond promptly.
• Test peripheral passthrough: Connect additional USB peripherals if needed and confirm they function correctly through the extender path.
• Fine-tune placement and cabling: Route cables to minimize clutter and reduce potential signal interference. Use cable ties or management accessories to maintain a tidy setup.
• Document configuration: Record the placement, connections, and any settings for future maintenance or expansions, ensuring consistent replication if you scale the deployment.
