Overview
The 14.01.3328 is a USB KVM Extender with superior video
quality and built-in ESD and surge protection that allows access
to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB
keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse).
Because it allows access to a computer system from a remote
console, the 14.01.3328 is perfect for use in any type of
installation where you need to place the console where it is
conveniently accessible, but you want the system equipment to
reside in a safe location – away from the dust and dirt of the
factory floor, or the harsh environmental influence of a
construction site, for example.
The 14.01.3328 is also useful for control and security purposes,
where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the same
time that you put the console in the most convenient location for
user access.
The 14.01.3328 improves on previous designs by: 1)
incorporating 15KV ESD protection and 2KV surge protection; 2)
providing superiorvideoquality – upto1920 x 1200resolution;3)
using inexpensive Cat 5 cable, instead of bulkier, more
expensive, standard cables, for a much neater, more convenient,
more reliable data transfer connection; 4) it is able to sense the
distance to the system and automatically adjusts the gain
accordingly; and 5) it features a custom ASIC to ensure the
utmost in reliability and compatibility.
Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer
system box and local console to the Local 14.01.3328 Module;
run the Cat 5 cable to the Remote 14.01.3328 Module (up to 150
meters away); and plug the remote console into the Remote
Module.
Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single
console by combining the 14.01.3328 with a KVM switch.

Installation
Grounding
To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all
devices are properly grounded.
1. Use the two grounding wires supplied with this package to
ground both units by connecting one end of the wire to the
grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable
grounded object.
2. Make sure that the computer that the 14.01.3328L connects
to and the monitor that the 14.01.3328R connects to are
properly grounded.

3. For increased grounding protection, use STP (shielded
twisted pair) cable to connect the Local and Remote Units.
There are two methods that can be used:
a) In addition to the eight paired wires, STP cable also
contains a grounding wire. Solder this wire to the RJ-45
connector as shown in the diagram below:
b) The second method is to use the STP cable shielding for
grounding. In this case, make sure that the shielding
makes tight contact with the top inside of the RJ-45
connector as shown in the diagram below:
In either case, make sure that the sides of the RJ-45
connector make tight contact with the grounding contacts on
the sides of the RJ-45 socket as shown in the diagram below:

Connecting the Cables
Setting up the USB KVM Extender system is simply a matter of
plugging in the cables. Refer to the installation diagram on the
following page and do the following:
1. Plug the cables from the local console devices (mouse,
keyboard, monitor) into their ports on the Console section on
the rear of the Local Unit (14.01.3328L).
2. Plug the appropriate connectors on the USB KVM cable
supplied with this unit into their ports on the KVM section on
the front of the Local Unit (14.01.3328L).
3. Plug the connectors on the other end of the USB KVM cable
into the appropriate ports on the local computer.
Note: If you are combining the 14.01.3328 with a KVM switch,
the other end of the USB KVM cable plugs into the
appropriate ports on the KVM switch.
4. Plug one end of the Cat 5e cable into the 14.01.3328L's
Remote I/O port. Plug the other end of the Cat 5e cable into
the I/O port of the Remote Unit (14.01.3328R).
5. Plug one of the power adapters (supplied with this package)
into an AC source; plug the adapter's power cable into the
14.01.3328L's Power Jack
6. Plug the cables from the remote console devices into their
ports on the Console side of the 14.01.3328R.
7. Plug the second power adapter (supplied with this package)
into an AC source; plug the adapter's power cable into the
14.01.3328R's Power Jack.

Operating Modes
The 14.01.3328 USB KVM Extender system has three operating
modes: Local, Auto, and Remote, as shown in the table, below:
Note: The default operating mode is Auto.
Mode Description
Local Only the local console has KVM access. The
remote console’s keyboard and mouse input is
disabled.
Auto Both the local and remote consoles can have
KVM access, but not at the same time. The
console without access has to wait until the
active console stops inputting data before it
can gain access.
Remote The remote console has KVM access. Remote
cannot be selected; it can only occur when the
pushbutton on the 14.01.3328L is set to Auto
and the local console is idle. If the remote
console is then idle for more than five
seconds, the local console can gain access.
