Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The use of servers and server rooms is common and central across multiple
industries today. The expanding volume of information and media prompts the
addition of more servers in dedicated rooms located off the main site; thus the
storage, retrieval and management of electronically stored data becomes a
concern. The solution is a setup that makes it convenient to manage multiple
servers, locally and remotely, while still making all data easily accessible.
The CE774 / CE775 is a USB based Dual View KVM Extender (with Deskew
Function for CE775) that allows access to a computer system from a remote
console. 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 CE775 is equipped with a Deskew function that automatically
synchronizes the time delay of RGB signals to compensate for distance.
The CE774 / CE775 features: 1) Gain/Compensation Control – adjusts signal
strength in order to compensate for distance; 2) Dual Console operation –
control your system from both the local and remote consoles; 3) RS-232 port,
on both the Local and Remote Units to connect serial devices (see Setting Up,
page 15); and 4) use of inexpensive Cat 5e/6 cable instead of bulkier, more
expensive, standard cables, for a much neater, more convenient, more reliable
data transfer connection.
Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer system box and local
console to the Local CE774L / CE775L Unit; run the Cat 5e/6 cable to the
Remote CE774R / CE775R Unit (up to 300 meters away); and plug the remote
console into the Remote Module. The CE774 / CE775 is useful for control and
security purposes, with the hassle of a difficult installation, making it ideal for
managing highly confidential data and media storage systems.

using on any computer in the installation
Note: If you connect a DDC type monitor to the Local Unit, the monitor
that connects to the Remote Unit must be able to support the highest
video resolution that the DDC monitor can provide
A USB keyboard
Note: You can use different brands and models of USB keyboard on the
Local and Remote Units, but support for multi-function keyboards
is limited to the standard 104 keys.
A USB mouse
Note: You can use different brands and models of mouse on the Local and
Remote Units, but only the left and right mouse buttons and scroll
wheel features are supported. Other mouse features are not
supported.
Stereo microphone and stereo speakers (optional)
Computers
The following equipment must be installed on each computer that is to be
connected to the system:
Two (2) VGA ports
USB host controller and Type A USB port
Cables
For optimal signal integrity, and to simplify the layout, we strongly
recommend that you use the high quality custom USB KVM Cable that is
provided with this package.

Installation
Grounding
To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are
properly grounded.
1. Use a grounding wire to ground both units by connecting one end of the
wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable
grounded object.
Note: The grounding wire is not included in the package. Please contact your
dealer for the appropriate cable.
2. Make sure that the computer that the CE774L / CE775L connects to and
the monitor that the CE774R / CE775R connects to are properly grounded.
3. For increased grounding protection, use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable
to connect the Local and Remote Units. There are two methods that can be
used:
a) In addition to the eight paired wires, STP cable also contains a
grounding wire. Solder this wire to the RJ-45 connector as shown in the
diagram below:
STP Cable
(Cat 5e/6)
up to 300 m
ce774-775.book Page 13 Monday, January 7, 2019 8:08 PM
CE774 / CE775 User Manual
14
b) The second method is to use the STP cable shielding for grounding. In
this case, make sure that the shielding makes tight contact with the top
inside of the RJ-45 connector as shown in the diagram below:
In either case, make sure that the sides of the RJ-45 connector make tight
contact with the grounding contacts on the sides of the RJ-45 socket as
shown in the diagram below:

them is to make sure that all cables are securely attached and seated completely
in their sockets.

The video quality can be improved by using the Gain /
Compensation tuners on the CE774R / CE775R to increase or
reduce the video signal gain.
The video quality can be improved by reducing the refresh rate.
This product uses SPHD connectors for its KVM and/or
Console ports. We have specifically modified the shape of these
connectors so that only KVM cables that we have designed to
work with this product can be connected.
