ACX4000

Welcome to the ACX4000 Family!

Thank you for purchasing a ACX4000 Switch! We appreciate your business, and we think

you’ll appreciate the many ways that your ACX4000 system will save you money, time, and

effort.

The ACX4000 Switch offers three fundamental uses:

•As a Multiplex Repeater: the DVI signals (+optional audio) coming from a signal

source are equalized and distributed on up to 7 equivalent outputs. A control is not

necessary. Distributed display systems can be realized (Digital Signage).

•As an 8-port Cross point Switch: each port can be switched optionally as an input or

output. You can, for example, switch and distribute the signals from 3 signal

sources on up to 5 displays (allowing simultaneous presentations on several

displays). Alternatively, signals coming from 7 signal sources can be switched in

turn to a single display. The changeover can be triggered remotely using the serial

interface (RS232) and/or by a push-button at the device.

•As a 7-port KVM Switch: up to 7 Single head ports (a “Single head” extender

system supports 1x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse) or up to 3 Dual head ports (a

Dual head extender system supports 2x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse). The

changeover can be triggered remotely using the serial interface (RS232) and/or by a

push-button at the device.

Cascade multiple devices in two stages for all applications to give up to 49/1 connections.

The ACX4000 Switch has the advantage that it can be positioned up to 140m away from both

your signal source and display device. This becomes possible by using the proven ACX4000-

Extender technology for the transmission of DVI- Monitor and USB-Keyboard and Mouse

signals over CATx- cable.

The operation of a ACX4000 Switch always requires at least one Local Unit and up to seven

Remote Units from the ACX4000-Extenders range.

ACX4000

Wherever long distances cause problems for remotely locating and switching a monitor

(keyboard/mouse) signal, e.g. airports, industrial plants, call centres or in distributed

computer centres, the ACX4000 Switch is the best solution. Its flexibility allows it to tackle

many tasks.

In addition, there are 4 Media Extenders (DVI + optional audio) and 8 KVM- Extenders

(DVI+USB keyboard mouse + optional audio) available. The transmission of the signals

requires connecting CATx cable.

This manual will tell you all about your new ACX4000 Switch, including how to install,

operate and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Converter, see Chapter 2.

interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is

likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the

interference at his own expense.

SAFETY-PRECAUTIONS AND

INSTALLATION GUIDLINES

Safety Precautions and Installation Guidelines

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation, please note the following installation

guidelines:

•Do not use CATx- devices to link between buildings – please use fibre devices.

•Only use in dry, indoor environments.

•If the building has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that equipment connected to the

Local and Remote Units is on the same phase.

•Try not to route a CATx- link cable alongside power cables.

•The Switch Unit, Remote Unit, Local Unit and any power supplies can get warm. Do not

locate them in an enclosed space without any airflow.

•Do not place a power supply directly on top of a unit.

•Do not obscure a unit’s ventilation holes.

To safeguard against personal injury and avoid possible

damage to equipment or property, please observe the

following:

•Only use power supplies originally supplied with the

product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not

attempt to dismantle or repair any power supply. Do not

use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a

damaged case.

•Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each

case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained

from the outlet socket through to the power supply’s AC

power input.

•Do not attempt to modify or repair this product, or make

a connection from the CATx- link interface (RJ45) to any

other products, especially telecommunications or

network equipment.
