How to install ATEN USB True 4K HDMI HDBaseT 3.0 KVM Extender

Install in minutes with a simple, single-cable architecture that minimizes clutter and preserves signal integrity across distances. Follow these steps to set up a reliable KVM extension system:

• Position the local unit near your HDMI source (computer, media player, or controller) and the remote unit near the display. Ensure both units have access to power supplies.
• Connect the HDMI output from your source to the local unit’s HDMI input. Attach an HDMI output from the remote unit to the distant display or projector.
• Attach USB peripherals (keyboard, mouse, or supported USB devices) to the appropriate USB ports on the local unit (or as configured by your setup), ensuring they are powered if required by the device.
• Run a single Cat6A Ethernet cable between the local unit and the remote unit. This cable carries video, USB, RS232, and Ethernet signals in a single, tidy conduit.
• Power on both units and verify that the remote display receives the HDMI video. Install any necessary drivers or keyboard/mouse setup on the host if required by your environment.
• Test RS232 control, USB peripheral functionality, and network connectivity to confirm full system operation. If you encounter issues, check cable quality, distance limits, and ensure the Cat6A cable meets or exceeds category specifications.
• Optional: configure any RS232 or network-based control routines to integrate with existing control systems or AV routing infrastructure.
