REPEATER/CROSS- REPEATER 

Rev. : 09/25/2012

 

Welcome to the Repeater/Cross- Repeater Family! 

Thank you for purchasing a Repeater/Cross- Repeater! We appreciate your business, and we 
think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your Repeater/Cross- Repeater system will save 
you money, time, and effort. 

That’s because our Repeater/Cross- Repeater allows, to double the total allowed distance of a 
DVXi KVM Extender system for remotely locating a console (DVI-monitor, keyboard and 
mouse). 

Wherever long distances are usual, e.g. airports, industrial plants, call- centres or in 
distributed computer centres, the Repeater/Cross- Repeater is the best way, to solve all 
problems in remotely locating your console. 6 different types are available: There are three 
types for repeating the signals and doubling the distance and three types to extend the 
distance and simultaneously convert from one medium to another (e.g. CATx to Multimode). 

This manual will tell you all about your new Repeater/Cross- Repeater, including how to 
install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Repeater/Cross- Repeater, see 
Chapter 2. The Repeater/Cross- Repeater product codes covered in this manual are:
