Introduction
Overview
The CE611 Mini USB DVI HDBaseT KVM Extender can extend DVI, RS-232
serial, and USB 2.0 signals up to 100 meters using a single Cat 5e/6 or ATEN
2L-2910 cable and HDBaseT™ technology. The Mini USB DVI HDBaseT
KVM Extender is equipped with USB 2.0 connectors which allow you to
extend signal transmission of USB 2.0 devices. The USB functionality
provides support for peripheral sharing, touch panel control and file transfers.
The CE611 ensures superior video quality with 1920 x 1200 resolutions so that
you get the most out of your DVI-enabled displays.
The CE611 supports the HDBaseT™ technology with which you can extend
the KVM installation up to 100 meters @ 1920 x 1200 and preserve high-
quality video by enhancing bit error detection and correction to resist signal
interference.
The CE611 allows access to a computer system from a remote console (USB
keyboard, monitor, and mouse). It is perfect for use in any type of installation
where you need to place the console where it is conveniently accessible, but
you want the system equipment to reside in a safe location – away from the dust
and dirt of the factory floor, or the harsh environmental influence of a
construction site, for example. This allows users to deploy system equipment
over large distances.
The CE611 is useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the
system in a secure area with the console in the most convenient location for
user access. This is ideal for managing highly confidential data systems.
The CE611 is ideal for transportation centers, medical facilities, and shopping
malls, industrial kiosks and for syncing files and folders between computers.
Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer; run the Cat 5e/6 or
ATEN 2L-2910 cable up to 100 meters to the remote unit of the CE611 and
then plug the remote console into the remote unit of CE611.

Do not use the device near water.
Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers.
The device cabinet is provided with slots and openings to allow for
adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation, and to protect against
overheating, these openings must never be blocked or covered.
The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as
this will block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be
placed in a built in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

The device is designed for IT power distribution systems with 230V
phase-to-phase voltage.
To prevent damage to your installation, it is important that all devices are
properly grounded.
The device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
purpose of the grounding-type plug. Always follow your local/national
wiring codes.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the
power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.

To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
un-interruptible power supply (UPS).
Position system cables and power cables carefully; Be sure that nothing
rests on any cables.
Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire
or electrical shock.
Do not attempt to service the device yourself. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

Mounting
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to
the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on
the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front
stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
