How to Install Aten CE775 USB VGA Dual View Cat5 KVM Extender With Deskew

• Place the local transmitter unit near the computer. Connect the computer's VGA output to the transmitter’s VGA input and attach USB keyboard and mouse to the transmitter’s USB ports.
• Place the remote receiver unit at the distant console location. Connect the display to the receiver’s VGA output and connect the remote keyboard and mouse to the receiver’s USB ports.
• Run a standard Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 cable between the transmitter and receiver, ensuring the cable length does not exceed the 300-meter specification and that the cable is securely seated in all RJ-45 connectors.
• Power both units using the supplied adapters or per the product’s power requirements, then power on the computer first and finally the extender units. Check for indicator LEDs to confirm a healthy link.
• Test the setup by booting the computer and verifying that the remote monitor displays the same desktop image as the local display and that keyboard/mouse input is responsive from the remote console. If deskew indicators show misalignment, re-seat cables or follow any on-device deskew calibration prompts.
