How to install Black Box AVU5020A KVM Console/Extender

• Prior to installation, plan the layout to place the local console near the target computer and locate the remote extender within clear reach of network connections. Ensure your power sources meet the 110-220 VAC range and that cable routes avoid interference with other equipment.
• Connect the local KVM console to the computer using the included VGA video cable and USB connections. Attach the monitor to one of the VGA ports, and plug input devices (keyboard and mouse) into the available USB ports to establish initial control.
• Run the remote extender link by connecting the second unit to the local system through the provided network pathways (RJ-45). Securely connect both extenders to the network infrastructure, ensuring proper pairing and link stability for uninterrupted remote access.
• Power up both units and verify basic functionality. Confirm that the local workstation can display the host computer’s screen at up to 1920 x 1200 resolution and that keyboard and mouse input transmit reliably to the host.
• Fine-tune settings as needed for your environment. Check color calibration and display timing, set any relevant security features or access controls, and document the installation for future maintenance. If firmware updates are available, apply them to optimize performance and compatibility.
• Test the remote session from the designated remote workstation. Validate that you can interact with the host computer as if seated at the local console, confirm stability over time, and confirm that failover or power-cycle procedures do not disrupt ongoing operations.
