QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE

Follow these steps to install the extender:

1.  If you have the fiber models, install the SFPs in the transmitter and receiver. Compatible SFPs from Black Box are listed in the table below.
   COMPATIBLE SFP MODULES

   PART NUMBER| DESCRIPTION| DISTANCE
   1-GBPS CONNECTIONS
   LFP441| SFP 1.25-Gb, 850-nm Multimode Fiber, LC| 550 m
   LFP442| SFP 1.25-Gb, 1310-nm Single-mode Fiber, LC| 20 km
   LFP412| SFP with Extended Diagnostics – 1250-Mbps Multimode Fiber, 1310-nm| 2 km
   LFP413| SFP with Extended Diagnostics – 1250-Mbps Single-Mode Fiber, 1310-nm| 10 km
   LFP414| SFP with Extended Diagnostics – 1250-Mbps, Singlemode Fiber, 1310-nm| 30 km
   LFP416| SFP 1250-Mbps, Extended Diagnostics, 10/100/1000BASE-T, SGMII Interface, RJ-45| 100 m

NOTE: Other SFPs may work but have not been validated by Black Box, we recommend you use the suggested SFPs to avoid technical incompatibilities. SFP is not included in the package, must be ordered separately.

2.  Connect one end of a DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort port on the source device (e.g. computer, server, or other IT device). Then connect the other end to the DP IN port located on the TX unit.
3.  Connect the DisplayPort display to the DP OUT port on the TX unit.
4.  Connect the DisplayPort display to the DP OUT port on the RX unit.
5.  Connect the USB ports of the source device and the TX unit with a USB type A-B cable. Then plug a USB keyboard, mouse, or other USB devices into the USB ports of the RX unit.
6. Connect the RS-232 ports of the source device and the TX unit. Then connect the RS-232 ports of the RS-232 device on the RX unit side and the RX unit.
7. Connect the microphone/speaker ports of the source device and the TX unit with the audio microphone/speaker combo cable. Then, plug the microphone and speaker into the microphone and speaker ports of the RX unit.
8. For the CATx model, use a CAT5e cable to connect the CATx link ports on the TX unit and the RX unit.
9.  For the fiber model, use two SFP modules and an optical fiber cable to connect the fiber link ports on the TX unit and the RX unit.
10. Plug the power adapter cable into the DC jacks on the TX and RX units.

NOTES:

• We recommend using the highest quality materials (cables, SFP, etc.) to ensure optimal transmission quality.
• If the screen does not display when you connect the computer:
•  Make sure the device cables are correctly and firmly attached.
•  Set your display device’s (TV, monitor, etc.) input source as DisplayPort.
•  Check the PC BIOS configuration of the video output setting.
•  Connect your video source to the Display DIRECTLY to check if the video signal gets through.

NOTES:

1.  Both the DisplayPort displays respectively connecting to TX and RX units MUST support the same maximum video resolution.
2.  SFP module’s bandwidth requirement is 1 Gbps minimum.
3.  When plugging into any microphone or speaker ports of TX or RX units, digital DisplayPort audio extension will be disabled and only analog audio LINE-IN/LINE-OUT extension is enabled.

OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

The KVX Series DisplayPort KVM Extender enables you to locally use one or two DisplayPort monitor(s), USB keyboard/mouse/other devices, speaker and microphone to operate a remote computer, server or other IT device featuring one or two DisplayPort video output(s). You can also view the DisplayPort video output(s) of the remote source devices via the DisplayPort output port(s) on the DisplayPort KVM Extender’s TX unit.
There are four models of the KVX Series DisplayPort KVM Extender: a single- head KVXLCDP-100 via a CATx link, a dual-head KVXLCDP-200 via a CATx link, a single-head KVXLCDPF-100 via a fiberoptic link, and a dual-head KVXLCDPF-200 via a fiberoptic link. Each extender consists of a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX).

FEATURES

• Supports DisplayPort input/output video quality up to 4K @ 30 Hz, 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz.
• Has DisplayPort local video loopback on the TX unit.
• Provides remote access for video/USB/RS-232/audio extension distance up to 330 feet (100 meters) over CATx cable for model KVXLCDP-100 or KVXLCDP-200; up to 18.6 miles (30 km) over fiberoptic cable for model KVXLCDPF-100 or KVXLCDPF-200,  depending on the SFP used.
• Single-head CATx and fiber and dual-head CATx and fiber versions available.
• The DisplayPort KVM Console Extender lets you control a server, or computer over single-mode or multimode fiber optic cable at distances of up to 30 km (depending on the SFP used, fiber type, and fiber bandwidth*).
• Offers transparent USB 2.0/1.1 extension.
• Uses analog audio LINE-IN/LINE-OUT extension.
• Supports bi-directional RS-232 control communication at a fixed baud rate of 115200.
• Automatic EDID update.
