The XtendaMux System consists of one VIP-384-R Receiver Unit, one to four VIP-380-T Transmitter Unit(s) and one VIP-210 Power Supply for each Transmitter Unit. The Receiver Unit is powered by an external power supply the VIP-211. Please note that with all models mentioned above the monitor(s) at all workstations will view the same image(s) at all times.
NOTE: If a Power Supply other then the ones mentioned above is used, all claims to FCC and CE regulations cease to exist.
Follow these steps to install the VIP-384 Series XtendaMux
Connection of the Receiver Unit to the PC must be made while the PC is powered down
1. Connect the Receiver Unit to the PC.
(a) Use one of the male/male keyboard extension cables (6-pin DIN) supplied with the system to connect the PC's keyboard port to the 6-pin DIN female connector on the back panel of the Receiver marked "TO PC KBD". An adapter, the VIP-301-5M6F (maybe purchased separately) will be needed for connecting to an AT style PC. Use the second male/male 6-pin DIN keyboard extension cable to connect the PC's mouse port to the 6?pin DIN female connector on the back panel of the Receiver marked "TO PC MSE".
(b) For KMV models connect the HDD15 male/female video extension cable to the PC's female video port and the other end to the back panel of the Receiver male connector marked "TO PC MON". For KMV2 models connect the HDD15 male/female video extension cables to the PC's female video ports and the other end to the back panel of the Receiver male connectors marked "TO PC MONA" and "TO PC MON B".
2. Connect the Local Workstation(s) to the Receiver Unit (-1, -2, -3 models only).
a) Use the normal keyboard cable to connect to the back panel of the Receiver 6-pin female DIN connector marked"STA-1KBD". An adapter the VIP-301-5F6M (maybe purchased separately) will be needed for connecting an AT style keyboard to the XtendaMux. Use the normal 6-pin mouse cable to connect to the 6-pin DIN female connector marked "STA-1 MSE" on the XtendaMux.
b) For the KMV model connect the VGA monitor to the Receiver's backpanel 15-pin HDD connector marked "STA-1 MON". For the KMV2 models connect the VGA monitors to the Receiver's backpanel 15-pin HDD connectors marked "STA-1 MONA" and "STA-1 MONB".
d) Repeat the above steps for each local workstation.
3. Connect the Power Supply to the Receiver Unit.
The Receiver Unit is powered by an external wall plug-in supply the VIP-211 (+5Vdc 3.7A reg. 110 - 240 Vac 50 - 60 Hz). First plug the power output plug of this external supply into the mating jack on the back panel of the Receiver Unit marked "+5VDC IN", and only then plug the supply into a suitable AC power source. Since the Receiver unit has no separate power on/off switch, it is recommended that the power supply be connected to an AC power source that has a power on/off switch.
4. Connect the remote keyboard and mouse to the Transmitter Unit(s) (All models).
Use the normal keyboard cable to connect to the 6-pin female DIN Connector marked "KEYBOARD" and normal 6-pin mouse cable to connect to the 6-pin female DIN connector marked "MOUSE". An adapter the VIP-301-5F6M (maybe purchased separately) will be needed for connecting an AT style keyboard to the Transmitter.
5. Connect the Power Supply to the Transmitter Unit(s).
The Transmitter(s) are powered by an external wall plug-in supply the VIP-210 (+5Vdc 2A reg. 110 - 240 Vac 50 - 60 Hz). First plug the power output plug of this external supply into the mating jack on the front panel of the Transmitter marked "+5VDC IN", and only then plug the supply into a suitable AC power source. Since the Transmitter has no separate power on/off switch, it is recommended that the power supply be connected to an AC power source that has a power on/off switch.
6. Connect the Transmitter(s) to the Receiver Unit.
Use a quality RS-232 cable with
DB9 female/female connectors wired as follows:

For the -1 model connect one end of the cable to the Transmitter's back panel DB-9 connector marked "RS-232" and the other end to the Receiver's back panel marked "STA-4 REMOTE". For the -2 model connect the Transmitters to the connectors on the back panel of the Receiver marked "STA-3 REMOTE" and STA-4 REMOTE". For the -3 model connect the Transmitters to the connectors on the back panel of the Receiver marked "STA-2 REMOTE", "STA-3 REMOTE" and STA-4 REMOTE" and for the -4 model connect the Transmitters to the connectors marked "STA-1 REMOTE", "STA-2 REMOTE", "STA-3 REMOTE" and STA-4 REMOTE".
7. Connect Remote Monitors to the Receiver Unit (All Models).
It is recommended that a good quality coax VGA HDD-15 pin male/female extension cable be used at all times to connect all remote monitors to the Receiver unit. Anything of a lesser quality will cause degradation of the video signals to the remote monitors. These cables maybe purchased from Vetra separately.
a) For KMV Models (Single Monitor PC)
For the -1 model connect one end of the cable to the remote monitor and the other end to the Receiver's back panel connector marked "STA-4 MON IN". For the -2 model connect the monitors to the connectors on the back panel of the Receiver marked "STA-3 MON IN" and STA-4 MON IN". For the -3 model connect the monitors to the connectors on the back panel of the Receiver marked "STA-2 MON IN", "STA-3 MON IN" and STA-4 MON IN" and for the -4 model connect the monitors to the connectors marked "STA-1 MON IN", "STA-2 MON IN", "STA-3 MON IN" and STA-4 MON IN"
b) For KMV2 Models (Dual Head Monitor PC)
For the -1 model connect one end of the cables to the remote monitors and the other end to the Receiver's back panel connectors marked "STA-4 MON A" and "STA-4 MON B". For the -2 model connect the monitors to the connectors on the back panel of the Receiver "marked "STA-3 MON A", STA-3 MON B", "STA-4 MON A" and "STA-4 MON B". For the -3 model connect the monitors to the connectors on the back panel of the Receiver marked "STA-2 MON A", "STA-2 MON B", STA-3 MON A", STA-3 MON B", "STA-4 MON A" and "STA-4 MON B" and for the -4 model connect the monitors to the connectors marked "STA-1 MON A", "STA-1 MON B", "STA-2 MON A", "STA-2 MON B", STA-3 MON A", STA-3 MON B", "STA-4 MON A" and "STA-4 MON B".
1. Power Up Sequence
With the Receiver and Transmitter Units connected, the Extender System is ready for operation. The Transmitter can be powered up at any time. It does not have to be coordinated with the power up of the PC. If the Transmitter is powered up after the PC is powered up, it is possible that the keyboard status indicators, Caps, Num, and Scroll Lock, may be "out of step". This can be corrected by operating any one of the respective keys or the movement of the mouse. This will cause a "refresh" to the keyboard updating the indicator leds.
When the PC is powered up, you may observe random selection of the "ACTIVE STATION" leds on the front panel of the Receiver for a few seconds. This is normal. The Receiver is initializing each of the input devices. The order and final selected station depends on the response time of each device.
2. Workstation Selection
To switch from one Workstation to another there must be a 3 - 5 second delay between keyboard and or mouse inputs from one Workstation before the XtendaMux recognizes keyboard and/or mouse inputs of the next Workstation. Note that the front panel "ACTIVE STATION" leds of the XtendaMux will switch to the Workstation currently being used.
3. Lock and Release
Either Workstation has the option of locking out the other Workstations for uninterrupted input to the PC. To accomplish this the user must first be the current ACTIVE STATION, then by pressing and releasing the Left Shift key three times the user will lock out the other Workstation's (keyboard and mouse inputs), but the monitor at all workstations will be viewing the same image. To release this feature the same Workstation that activated the lock out must press and release the Right Shift key three times. This will set the XtendaMux back to the 3 - 5 second delay between Workstations.
The VIP-384 Series XtendaMux System uses a proprietary RS-232 protocol to communicate between the Transmitter Unit and the Receiver Unit. The RS-232 protocol permits essentially unlimited distance between the two units by use of standard RS-232 techniques to extend distance. Keyboard and mouse data are multiplexed onto one data stream for transmission. Transmission data rate is 9600 baud.
The Transmitter will assert RTS (DB9 pin 7) when either the remote keyboard or mouse is activated. The Transmitter will also send data only when incoming CTS (which is checked at DB9 pin 8) is asserted.
