Setting Cable length jumpers
For cable lengths over 300 feet these jumpers may need to be set to
compensate for the longer cable length. To set these jumpers, first carefully
remove the Remote Units case by unscrewing the two side screws and the top
screw and lift off the top case exposing the CrystalViews PCB. Orient the PCB
with the cable connections away from you and the front panel towards you. Set
jumpers JP3, JP4, and JP5 depending on the CAT5 cable length between the
Remote Unit and the Local Unit.
For the Mini model, set dip switch 1 on the bottom of the unit.

Operating instructions – Dual unit
KVM Switching
The CrystalView “Dual” version allows for an additional KVM station to be
connected to the Local Unit. The CPU can be operated from the Remote or
Local KVM station but not simultaneously. The Local Unit is active during boot-
up. To activate the Remote KVM station, simply press any key on the Remote
KVM stations keyboard or move the mouse. To activate the Local KVM station,
press any key on the Local KVM station’s keyboard or move its mouse.
A lockout feature disables activity from a KVM station until the “In Use” KVM
stations keyboard or mouse are inactive for more than 2 seconds. After 2
seconds of inactivity, pressing any key on the “Not in Use” KVMs keyboard or
moving the mouse will activate that KVM station and lockout the other KVM
station. On the PC and SUN models, changing SW1 switch 2 to the left position
can change the time interval of 2 seconds to 15 seconds. The 2-second time
interval is not changeable on the Serial/Audio and MINI models.
