How to install Black Box KVXLCH-100 Video Extender Transmitter/Receiver
- Place the transmitter unit near the host computer or server. Connect the host’s HDMI output to the transmitter’s HDMI input, and attach a USB keyboard and mouse to the transmitter or to the host as required by your setup. Ensure the transmitter is securely powered and configured for the network environment.
- Route the CATx communication cable from the transmitter location to the remote receiver location. Use high-quality cables to minimize interference and preserve signal integrity over distance. Avoid running data cables parallel to power lines to reduce electromagnetic interference.
- Set up the receiver at the workstation or console area. Connect the HDMI display to the receiver’s HDMI output and attach the USB peripherals you want to use at the remote end. Ensure the receiver is powered and connected to the same network or cable bus as the transmitter according to the product’s configuration guidelines.
- Power on all components and verify the HDMI video appears at the remote console. Confirm that the keyboard and mouse input is recognized by the host and that the session responds with minimal latency. If available, use any on-device LEDs or indicators to confirm link status and power.
- Tune display settings if needed (resolution, color depth, and refresh rate) to optimize clarity and performance. If you’re integrating multiple extenders or switching between hosts, configure the session routing according to your facility’s workflow and security policies. Regularly test the connection to ensure stable operation during peak workloads.
