System introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose ElectronicsCrystalViewFiber
KVM station extender. The CrystalView Fiber is the result of Rose
Electronics commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions for
today’s demanding workplace. The CrystalView Fiber has proven to
be a valuable investment for any business, big or small, that has a
need to access CPUs from extended remote locations.
The CrystalView Fiber system consists of two Units, a transmitter
and a receiver. The transmitter connects to your CPU or a Rose
switch and the receiver connects to a keyboard, video monitor and
mouse or KVM station. The transmitter and receiver are connected
together with industry standard fiber optic cable terminated with SC-
type connectors.
The CrystalView Fiber is available in two models, the PC model and
the Sun model. The PC model is available with local and remote
KVM access. The local KVM version allows an additional KVM
station to be connected to the transmitter.
Using the CrystalView Fiber to remotely access your computer has
several advantages over conventional CAT-5 cable. Using fiber
cable, you have the advantage of extending the distance between
the transmitter and receiver up to 30,000 feet. In addition, fiber
cable is unaffected by electromagnetic interference, keeping your
data safe from interference by lightning and over voltage transients.
You can locate your computers in a secure remote area and access
them safely and securely from other unsecured areas. Computers
used in hazardous industrial environments can be accessed
remotely, keeping the users safe and unexposed to any hazards.

with IEC 825-1 and FDA 21 CFR 1040 and 1040.1.1.
The SingleMode transceivers are Class 1 laser products and comply
with IEC 60825-1 and FDA 21 CFR 1040.1 and 1040.1.1.
The optical ports of the modules must be terminated with an optical
connector or with a dust plug.
CrystalView Fiber cables
Transmitter to CPU cable
CPU cables connect from the transmitter to a CPUs keyboard, video
monitor and mouse ports. The type of CPU cable needed depends
on the model, PC or Sun.
Receiver to KVM station
The keyboard, video monitor, and mouse cables on a KVM station
can connect directly to the receiver or a transmitter with local KVM
access.
CrystalView Fiber to Rose switch cable
To connect a transmitter to a Rose switch such as a ServeView,
UltraMatrix or UltraView, use a CPU adapter cable, Rose cable part
number CAB-CX0606Cnnn.
Transmitter to receiver cable
The transmitter is connected to the receiver with up to 30,000 feet of
standard fiber optic cable (SingleMode) terminated with SC type
connectors.

INSTALLATION
6 CrystalView Fiber Installation and Operations Manual
Installation
Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any
installation or configuration of the CrystalView Fiber.
Installation of the CrystalView Fiber consists of four easy steps.
1. Connecting the KVM station(s) and the CPU or Rose switch.
2. Connecting the transmitter to the receiver.
3. Applying power.
4. Adjusting the automatic DPA and color depth setting. (If needed)
When installing the CrystalView Fiber, locate the transmitter as
close as possible to the CPU or switch. Keep the CPU cables as
short as possible but still give some freedom of movement. Using
shorter cables keeps the video noise to a minimum and reduces
installation costs. You can mount the CrystalView Fiber in a CPU
rack with the optional rack mount kit. When mounting the units in a
rack, follow the instructions in Appendix F and Appendix G. Provide
adequate air circulation to assure that the maximum operating
temperature is not exceeded.
Wherever the transmitter and receiver are located, they should be
on a secure surface and free from obstructions and objects that may
cause damage to the units.

Applying power
Plug in the provided power adapters to a 110/220-volt source and to
the power connector on the Local and Remote Unit. Only use the
power adapter provided. GND and earth should not be connected.
Boot up the connected CPU and wait for it to completely boot-up.
The two LEDs on each side of the fiber cable connector indicate the
following:
(Red LED)
Off – no communication errors
Blinking – communication errors occurred
(Green LED)
On – power is on and link connection is locked.
Blinking – Fiber cable not connected or damaged.
The two LEDs above the DPA pushbuttons indicate the following:
Both LEDs on – system booted correctly.
Only one LED on – unknown video mode being used.
Selection, automatic DPA, Color Depth
The transmitter and receiver are self-adapting to the screen
parameters under most circumstances. The automatic DPA
adjustment feature is used when switching to several computers.
See Figure 5.
The screen data must be transmitted in a staggered (interlaced)
mode. This may be visible in the form of vertical stripes or bars.
The interlace can be reduced by changing the color depth to 13 Bit,
There is no interlace for screen resolutions up to 1024 x 768 @
60Hz. Above this resolution, the interlace is 1:2.
The table in Figure 4 shows the jumper setting for changing the
automatic DPA and the color depth for the receiver and transmitter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
10 CrystalView Fiber Installation and Operations Manual
Operating instructions- All units
Once the transmitter and receiver are connected and configured,
the receiver’s KVM station or transmitter’s local KVM will function as
if it were directly connected to the CPU. All applications, upgrades
and PC configurations can be performed normally.
Operating instructions – Local KVM access
KVM Switching
The CrystalView Fiber PC local KVM access version allows an
additional KVM station to be connected to the transmitter. The CPU
can easily be operated from the receiver or the Local KVM station
on the transmitter but they cannot be operated simultaneously. The
transmitter is active during boot-up. To activate the receiver’s KVM
station, simply press any key on the KVM stations keyboard. To
activate the transmitter’s Local KVM station, press any key on the
KVM station’s keyboard.
A lockout feature disables activity from a KVM station until the “In
Use” KVM stations keyboard and mouse are inactive for more than
2 seconds. After 2 seconds of inactivity, pressing any key on the
“Not in Use” KVMs keyboard will activate that KVM station and
lockout the other KVM station.
Digital Pixel Alignment
Digitizing the screen is done by reading the color value in the middle
of each pixel. Adjusting the DPA offset will move the point of
digitizing to earlier or later, so it will be sampled in the middle of
each pixel. The middle of the pixel sampling may vary from PC to
PC.
To adjust the DPA sampling point:
Press the left pushbutton to move the sample position to earlier.
Press the right pushbutton to move the sample position to later.
Press both, the position is stored in the internal table for the actual
resolution and refresh rate.
DPA adjustment switches
located on the receiver.
