Introduction
Description:
The XTENDEX® VGA/DVI USB KVM Extender Over IP provides remote KVM (USB keyboard, USB mouse, and VGA/DVI
monitors) access to a USB computer up to 492 feet (150 meters) over a Gigabit network using a single CAT5e/6 cable. The
extender consists of the ST-IPUSBVD-L-VW Local unit (Transmitter (TX)) that connects to a computer and also supplies
video to local VGA and DVI monitors; and the ST-IPUSBVD-R-VW Remote unit (Receiver (RX)) that connects to VGA and
DVI monitors, microphone, speakers, and up to four USB devices (keyboard, mouse, flashdrive, web camera, or
touchscreen display).
The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point connection via CAT5e/6 cable or a Point-to-Many
connection via a Gigabit network switch. Support for multiple transmitters (Many-to-Many connections) requires a managed
Gigabit network switch.

Cable & Transmission Distance:
For the cable between the transmitter and receiver, use high quality CAT.5e UTP/STP/FTP or CAT.6 UTP cable. The
transmission distance will be affected by equipment (router, Ethernet switch, hub), cable quality, routing the cable over noise
generating devices, etc.
When using CAT.5e/CAT.6 cable to connect the transmitter and receiver directly (without an Ethernet switch), the maximum
transmission distance is 150M.
You can also use a Gigabit Switch hub that supports IGMP protocol and Jumbo Frame 8K for signal distribution or
extending the distance.

The above bandwidth chart does not include USB transmission. USB uses up to 50 Mbps when transferring mass data.
System scalability is limited only by uplink and stacking connector bandwidths. For example, under a Gigabit Ethernet
network, the total flow must not exceed 1000Mbps to avoid any delay of video streaming. If the video plays with 1080p
resolution, the transmitter will allow a maximum of up to 7 receivers for simultaneous video streaming.
For 8~16 sources: use switches which support 802.3ad Link Aggregation or smart (or intelligent) switches to get 2 Gbps or
more bandwidth.
For over 16 sources: we recommend using a 10 gigabit switch.
System Default Settings:
Casting Mode:
The transmitter / receiver supports Unicast and Multicast modes (default is Multicast).
Use Multicast mode for one-to-one, one-to-multi, multi-to-one or multi-to-multi applications.
The analog audio output of the receiver going to the transmitter will be OFF in this mode, analog audio will only
from pass from transmitters to receivers (one direction).
Unicast mode is suitable for one-to-one or multiple transmitters-to-one receiver applications. Analog audio with bi-
direction transmission is only supported in Unicast mode.
7

IP Mode:
System default network IP setting is Static IP. The address is assigned using the last 4 digits of the MAC address (Hex),
For example MAC XX:XX:XX:XX:12:AB, the default IP address will be169.254.18.171
You could also set the units to DHCP or Auto IP. Please refer to web setting chapter: “IP Setting” (Page 20). In Auto IP
mode it will assign 169.254.X.X (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) to transmitters and receivers when no DHCP serveris
present.
We recommend using Static IP mode when using APP or PC software control to prevent any IP change
problems.
USB Hot Key Function:
Multicast mode supports multiple USB keyboard and mice in each receiver, but only one USB FLASH drive / hard disk can
be used at the same time.
In order to establish a USB FLASH drive or hard disk connection,
1. Click the “Pause/Break” key three times on the keyboard connected to the receiver OR,
2. Using the IR remote, press MENU-1-4.
8

IR Remote Control Setting:
The IR infrared remote control can be used to preset channel selection and other menu functions. Using
the IR remote control, aim at the front panel of the receiver or the external IR receiver cable.
When first using the remote control or after changing the battery in the remote control, the IR remote
control and the equipment Remote ID must be using same ID. The default Remote ID for the transmitter is
7, and for the receiver it is 8.
To set the Remote ID, Press and hold the power button, then press button 8 (for receiver, 7 for the
transmitter) to complete the setting.

 Menu 60 Fast Switch mode works best when all parameters on all units are the same: resolution, frame rate, scan mode
(interlaced/non-interlaced), color depth, color space, interface (HDMI/DVI), HDCP mode (ON/OFF).
Disable: Stop a link before switching a channel, a black screen will appear between switching. If you switch to a
channel that
doesn’t exist it will show diagnostic Information.
Enable: Keep the link when a channel is switched. If you switch to a channel that doesn’t exist, the screen may freeze for
1~2 seconds and then show diagnostic Information.

 Menu 61 Conflict Check will check the Transmitter channel number at bootup, reconnection and before switching. If channel
number already exists the connection will be interrupted.
 Menu 62 Channel Name will show full name instead of number only. The position of the channel name will be at center of
screen. The Channel name can set by RS232 command or imported from telnet port.
 Menu 75 Message Redirect forwards MENU message to Transmitter RS232 port (Auxiliary mode) instead of OSD.
 Menu 76 Command Redirect runs RS232 command from Web or telnet port (Auxiliary mode).
 Menu 80~86 With this you can force the selected feature not to follow the channel that is being switched to. This is only available
when free routing is enabled.
For example, you could set the audio to come from Transmitter#2 exclusively by set the audio routing function to 2. When
you do this, and you switch the Receiver to view video from Transmitter#3, you will still hear audio from Transmitter#2.
Default is 0 which means follow the channel number, meaning whatever source (Transmitter) you switch to, that feature
will get its signal from that source.
Menu 90~107 Only available when video wall function is enabled..
Menu 200 This will not backup the parameters of menu function 107 “Save Video Wall”.
 Menu 333 This will clear the parameters of menu function 107 “Save Video Wall”.

Keypad Control:
You can use a number pad to
emulate the IR Remote Operation.
1. Use a DB9 cable to connect the
RS232 port of the Local or Remote
Unit and that of the PC. Make sure
that the PC has a number pad or a
keyboard with number pad
connected. Pinouts for the DB9
cable are on page 40.
2. Then, use the IR Remote or front buttons to select Keypad in Menu 50 RS232 Select.
3. Open a terminal program (such as PuTTY) and make sure that the baud rate matches what is shown in IR Menu 54
Auxiliary Baudrate (See Page 8). Now you can use the number pad to emulate IR Remote Operation.
RS232 Control:
In RS232 extender mode, the user can use the RS232 port of the Transmitters to operate/setup the receivers at the same
channel using a program like HyperTerminal or Putty.
HyperTerminal Setting〔:115200 bps (8-N-1),Flow control: None〕(Properties -> Settings ->ASCII Setup and
select “Send line ends with line feeds” &”Echo typed characters locally”)
★We recommend setting the RS232 routing for all receivers to one transmitter to avoid an RS232
connection break caused by video channel switching.
Command format: >CMD_Address> Command Parameters
Address, command and parameters are characters, not hex code
Enter (LF or CR+LF) is required to execute the command
All associated receivers will run the command and parameters. We also add 3 kinds of user-defined numbers except
MAC & IP (Device No, Group No, Party No) for application versatility:
Mxxxxxx The last 6 digits of MAC Address of receiver e.g.: 2218688612AB = M8612AB
Ixxxx
The last 2 column of IPAddress (HEX) of receiver e.g.: 169.254.012.034 = I0C22
Dxxx
Device No e.g.: Device No 123 = D123
Gxx Group No e.g.: Group No 12 = G12
Pxx Party No e.g.: Party No 34 = P34
Cxxx Channel No e.g.: Channel 123 = C123
ALL
All receivers
TX Transmitter that is connected to RS232 port currently.
RX Receiver that is connected to RS232 port currently(for Auxiliary mode)
Response format: <ACK_Address< Response character
Receivers will respond with a message to the transmitter in the above format
When sending a command to multiple receivers (when address is Gxx, Pxx, Cxxx, and ALL), no response back will
be received.
Example:
Command:
>CMD_M8612AB> CHANNEL 12
(Set receiver whose last 6 digits of the MAC Address is 8612AB to Channel 12)
Response:
<ACK_M8612AB< OK
(Receiver whose last 6 digits of the MAC Address are 8612AB response is “OK”)
