ABOUT YOUR DA1935KM 2
DA1935KM
KEYBOARD/MOUSE TO FIBER OPTIC
TRANSMITTER
The DA1935KM provides a means of transmitting
keyboard and mouse serial data over fiber optic
cable. The DA1935KM is designed to be used
together with an ALTINEX Fiber Optic Receiver,
such as DA1934KM.
The DA1935KM is compact and easy to use. As a
direct connect, it connects directly to the keyboard
and mouse and is able to transmit both keyboard
and mouse data over the same fiber optic cable.
The DA1935KM may also be used to send mouse
and keyboard data to different computers, or
multiple computers by using an Altinex
Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure, with a matrix system that
includes the MT107-204 and MT107-304.
Internal memory allows the user to save the
keyboard configuration for Number Lock, Caps
Lock and Scroll Lock.

INSTALLING YOUR DA1935KM 6
Step 1. Prior to installing the DA1935KM, make
sure the keyboard and mouse are working
normally with the computer.
Step 2. Turn OFF the receiving computer.
Step 3. On the transmitting end, connect the
keyboard to the port labeled KEYBOARD
and the mouse to the port labeled
MOUSE on the side of the unit.
Step 4. Connect the DA1935KM to the
DA1934KM using a fiber optic cable. The
DA1934KM should be connected to the
receiving computer per its user manual.
Step 5. Plug the 9V power adapter into an AC
outlet and then connect the other end to
the POWER input jack on the
DA1935KM.
Step 6. Verify the DA1935KM initializes by
observing the keyboard LED's flash on,
then off and then go to their default state
of Num Lock ON, Caps Lock OFF and
Scroll Lock OFF. Additionally, Verify the
PWR LED next to the power jack is
illuminated RED.
Step 7. Turn ON the receiving computer and wait
for system to boot.
Step 8. Verify the mouse and keyboard operate
on the remote computer.
OPERATION 7
The DA1935KM will operate successfully as long
as cables are attached properly and other technical
specifications are followed.
7.1 DA1935KM SETTINGS

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied DA1935KM. However, we
would like to offer suggestions for the following:
8.1 LED IS NOT RED
The LED should be ON and RED when power is
applied.
Cause 1: No AC power.
Solution: Verify the adapter is plugged into a
working AC outlet and that the outlet
has power.
Cause 2: Adapter is not plugged into
DA1935KM.
Solution: Verify the DC power plug coming
from the AC adapter is plugged all
the way into the DA1935KM.

SPECIAL APPLICATION
8
Cause 3: The DA1935KM has a problem.
Solution: If there is AC power to the adapter
and the LED still does not turn on,
the DA1935KM or the power
adapter may require service. Call
ALTINEX at [phone].
8.2 KEYBOARD/MOUSE DOES NOT WORK
Cause 1: The DA1934KM Receiver has no
power.
Solution 1: The DA1934KM receives its power
from the PC. Make sure the
DA1934KM is connected to the
computer keyboard and mouse
ports. If there is still no power, see
Solution 2.
Solution 2: Verify the computer is turned on and
working. If there is still no power,
call ALTINEX at
[phone].
Cause 2: The cables are swapped.
Solution: If both devices are inoperative,
check the attachments to the
DA1934KM and the DA1935KM.
Make sure the mouse is plugged
into the DA1935KM port labeled
Mouse and the keyboard to the port
labeled Keyboard. On the receiving
end, make sure the Mouse output of
the DA1934KM is connected to the
mouse input port on the computer
and the keyboard is connected to
the Keyboard port. If the devices still
do not function properly, see
Cause 3.
Cause 3: The devices are not recognized.
Solution1: Reset the power to the DA1935KM
and wait for the initialization. This
should take only a few seconds. If
the keyboard and mouse still do not
work, see Solution 2.
Solution2: Restart the computer. If the
keyboard and mouse still do not
work, see Cause 4.
Cause 4: A device is bad.
Solution: If only one of the devices is
malfunctioning, connect the
inoperative device directly to the
computer. If the device is good, see
Cause 5.
Cause 5: Fiber optic cable is damaged.
Solution: Move the DA1934KM and the
DA1935KM close together and
connect the two units using a short
piece of known good fiber optic
cable. If the devices function
properly, the cable needs to be
replaced. If the device is still not
functioning, call ALTINEX at
[phone].
