Introduction
The KVM Extender Module allows the 16-port High Density KVM
Switch (KH0116), and the 16-port LCD KVM Switch (KL0116) to
be operated from a remote console up to 150m (500 feet) away.
The KVM Extender Module connects to the KH0116 or KL0116’s
RJ-45 Remote Console port via industry standard Category 5e (or
Category 6) cable for a reliable installation.
The KVM Extender Module features a custom ASIC to ensure the
utmost in reliability and compatibility, that can also sense the
distance to the high density KVM switches and automatically adjust
the gain to compensate.
Setup is quick and easy - simply plug the remote console
components (keyboard, monitor and mouse) into the KVM Extender
Module’s Console ports; run the CAT5e cable to the KVM’s
Remote Console port; plug in the power adapter; and you are ready
to go.

The main features of the KA9250 unit are as follows:
• Built-in ASIC for greater reliability and compatibility
• Control KH0116 or KL0116 up to 150m (500 feet) via Category 5e Cable
• High resolution video - Up to 1280 x 1024
• Supports VGA, SVGA, and Multisync Monitors
• Local Monitor Supports DDC; DDC2; DDC2B
• Automatic gain control - automatically adjusts signal strength to

13
System Requirements
Remote Console
• A VGA, SVGA or Multisync monitor capable of the highest resolution that
you plan to use on any computer in the installation.
• A PS/2 style mouse
• A PS/2 style keyboard
Note:
Cables
11
To use the KVM Extender Module to remotely access our High Density
KVM Switches and LCD Console KVM Switches, the following
requirements must be available:
Category 5e rated UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pairs) cable is the
minimum required to connect the KVM Extender Cable to the High
Density KVM Switches. Cable of a lesser standard will result in
degrading of the video signal. For best performance, we strongly
recommend Category 5e or Category 6 cables.
If you connect a DDC type monitor to the Local unit, the monitor
that connects to the Remote unit must be able to support the
highest video resolution that the DDC monitor can provide.

The default operating environment for KA9250 is for both the Local and Remote
consoles to be active.
For security and privacy purposes, however, the Remote console can be disabled
so that it cannot have access to the KH0116 / KL0116 or any of the equipment
attached to it.
To disable the Remote console, press the Disable Remote toggle button (KH0116
or KL0116), until it clicks and locks into the Local position. Now, only the Local
Console has access to the Switch.
To reenable the Remote console, press the toggle button again, so that it clicks
and returns to the Remote position.
The KH0116/KL0116 and KA9250 have LEDs that indicate the Local/Remote
operating status as shown in the two tables, below:
