Introduction
Overview
The CE624 USB DVI Dual View HDBaseT 2.0 KVM Extender / CE924 USB
DisplayPort Dual View HDBaseT 2.0 KVM Extender is a Dual DVI (CE624)
/ DisplayPort (CE924) and USB Extender with HDBaseT™ technology. The
CE624 / CE924 can extend two DVI (CE624) / DisplayPort (CE924) displays
and USB 2.0 signals up to 300 ft (100 m) from the source using a single Cat 5e/
6/6a cable. The CE624 / CE924 is equipped with USB connectors which allow
you to extend any USB device between the units. The USB functionality
provides not only peripheral sharing but also provides support for touch panel
control and file transfer. The CE624 / CE924 is ideal for transportation centers,
medical facilities, and shopping malls, industrial kiosks and for syncing files
and folders between portable and desktop computers.
The CE624 / CE924 allows access to a computer from a remote console (USB
keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Because it allows access to a computer from a
remote console, the CE624 / CE924 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 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. This allows users to deploy system equipment over large distances.
The CE624 / CE924 is useful for control and security purposes, where you can
have the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console
in the most convenient location for user access. This is ideal for managing
highly confidential data systems.
The CE624 / CE924 improves on previous designs by: 1) using inexpensive
Cat 5e/6acable instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard DVI / DisplayPort
cables, for a much neater, more convenient, and reliable connection; 2)
featuring a dual DVI (CE624) / DisplayPort (CE924) ports; and 3) HDBaseT
2.0 technology.
HDBaseT 2.0 technologies include: Long Reach mode to extend the KVM
installation up to 150 meters @1080p; Signal detection LED to indicate the
HDBaseT™ connection status on the remote unit; and transmission of
uncompressed 2 channel PCM digital audio.
Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer system box; run the
Cat 5e/6/6a cable up to 100 meters to the Remote Unit; and plug the remote
console into the Remote Unit.

Requirements
Console
Two DVI-D monitors capable of the highest resolution you will be using
on any computer in the installation (CE624 only).
Two DisplayPort monitors capable of the highest resolution you will be
using on any computer in the installation (CE924 only).
A USB keyboard
A USB mouse
Computers
The following equipment must be installed on each computer that is to be
connected to the system:
Two DVI-D / DVI-I ports (CE624 only).
Two DisplayPort ports (CE924 only).
2 USB ports for the mouse and keyboard
RS-232 Serial port (optional)

Cables
For optimal signal integrity, and to simplify the layout, we strongly
recommend that you use the high quality custom DVI Cable (CE624 only)
or DisplayPort Cable (CE924 only) that is provided with the package.
For better quality over longer distances, we suggest using an HDBaseT
certified cable (e.g. ATEN 2L-2910 cable) for the unit to unit connection.
For more information about suitable Cat 5e/6/6a cables and setting up
HDBaseT devices, refer to the ATEN HDBaseT Installation Guide.

Grounding
To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are
properly grounded.
Note: The unit used in the diagram below is CE924, the procedure for
connecting the CE624 is identical.
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.
2. Make sure that the computer that the local unit connects to and both
monitors that the remote unit connects to are properly grounded.

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.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the
rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from
the rack.
Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a
device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a
locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the
rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit
rating.
Make sure that all equipment used on the rack – including power strips and
other electrical connectors – is properly grounded.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the
