2 DA1935KM KEYBOARD/MOUSE TO FIBER OPTIC TRANSMITTER The DA1935KM provides a means of transmitting keyboard and mouse serial data over fiber optic cable. The DA1935KM is designed to be used together with an ALTINEX Fiber Optic Receiver, such as DA1934KM. The DA1935KM is compact and easy to use. As a direct connect, it connects directly to the keyboard and mouse and is able to transmit both keyboard and mouse data over the same fiber optic cable. The DA1935KM may also be used to send mouse and keyboard data to different computers, or multiple computers by using an Altinex Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure, with a matrix system that includes the MT107-204 and MT107-304. Internal memory allows the user to save the keyboard configuration for Number Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock.

DA1935KM KEYBOARD/MOUSE TRANSMITTER TO FIBER OPTIC CABLE

6 Step 1. Prior to installing the DA1935KM, make sure the keyboard and mouse are working normally with the computer. Step 2. Turn OFF the receiving computer. Step 3. On the transmitting end, connect the keyboard to the port labeled KEYBOARD and the mouse to the port labeled MOUSE on the side of the unit. Step 4. Connect the DA1935KM to the DA1934KM using a fiber optic cable. The DA1934KM should be connected to the receiving computer per its user manual. Step 5. Plug the 9V power adapter into an AC outlet and then connect the other end to the POWER input jack on the DA1935KM. Step 6. Verify the DA1935KM initializes by observing the keyboard LED's flash on, then off and then go to their default state of Num Lock ON, Caps Lock OFF and Scroll Lock OFF. Additionally, Verify the PWR LED next to the power jack is illuminated RED. Step 7. Turn ON the receiving computer and wait for system to boot. Step 8. Verify the mouse and keyboard operate on the remote computer. OPERATION 7 The DA1935KM will operate successfully as long as cables are attached properly and other technical specifications are followed. 7.1 DA1935KM SETTINGS The DA1935KM allows the settings for Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock to be saved in its internal memory. These settings will be recalled whenever the unit is restarted. In order to save these settings, press the left SHIFT key, then the right SHIFT key and then a number from 1 to 6 as follows: Key Setting Saved 1 Num Lock ON 2 Caps Lock ON 3 Scroll Lock ON 4 Num Lock OFF 5 Caps Lock OFF 6 Scroll Lock OFF NOTE: Do NOT hold down the shift keys during this process. 7.2 CHANGING THE MOUSE In order to change the mouse, make sure everything is on and working correctly. Turn off the DA1935KM and then replace the mouse. Turn the DA1935KM back on and wait for the initialization process. Restart the computer. After restarting the computer, the new mouse will be recognized and working. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8 We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied DA1935KM. However, we would like to offer suggestions for the following: 8.1 LED IS NOT RED The LED should be ON and RED when power is applied. Cause 1: No AC power. Solution: Verify the adapter is plugged into a working AC outlet and that the outlet has power. Cause 2: Adapter is not plugged into DA1935KM. Solution: Verify the DC power plug coming from the AC adapter is plugged all the way into the DA1935KM.

Solution: If there is AC power to the adapter and the LED still does not turn on, the DA1935KM or the power adapter may require service. Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. 8.2 KEYBOARD/MOUSE DOES NOT WORK Cause 1: The DA1934KM Receiver has no power. Solution 1: The DA1934KM receives its power from the PC. Make sure the DA1934KM is connected to the computer keyboard and mouse ports. If there is still no power, see Solution 2. Solution 2: Verify the computer is turned on and working. If there is still no power, call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. Cause 2: The cables are swapped. Solution: If both devices are inoperative, check the attachments to the DA1934KM and the DA1935KM. Make sure the mouse is plugged into the DA1935KM port labeled Mouse and the keyboard to the port labeled Keyboard. On the receiving end, make sure the Mouse output of the DA1934KM is connected to the mouse input port on the computer and the keyboard is connected to the Keyboard port. If the devices still do not function properly, see Cause 3. Cause 3: The devices are not recognized. Solution1: Reset the power to the DA1935KM and wait for the initialization. This should take only a few seconds. If the keyboard and mouse still do not work, see Solution 2. Solution2: Restart the computer. If the keyboard and mouse still do not work, see Cause 4. Cause 4: A device is bad. Solution: If only one of the devices is malfunctioning, connect the inoperative device directly to the computer. If the device is good, see Cause 5. Cause 5: Fiber optic cable is damaged. Solution: Move the DA1934KM and the DA1935KM close together and connect the two units using a short piece of known good fiber optic cable. If the devices function properly, the cable needs to be replaced. If the device is still not functioning, call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.
