    Introduction
    WELCOME
    Thank you for choosing the AdderLink X-DVIPRO or X-DVIPRO-MS2 extenders. These 
    compact modules provide the quickest way to extend high quality single link DVI digital 
    video plus USB keyboard, mouse and stereo audio (plus on MS2 variants, a second digital 
    video channel and audio channel) with an additional two USB peripherals up to 50 meters 
    away from your computer. 
    Thanks to our long involvement and investment in extender technology we have 
    succeeded in overcoming the numerous problems associated with extending digital video 
    signals. Using our proprietary transmission techniques the X-DVIPRO and X-DVIPRO-
    MS2 modules can reliably transfer video rates up to 165 Mpixels per second. This is in 
    addition to two USB channels for keyboard and mouse, plus stereo audio - all via the 
    same single length of CAT6a or CAT7 shielded twisted pair cabling.  
    The AdderLink X-DVIPRO and X-DVIPRO-MS2 extender modules have been designed 
    to be quick to install and totally transparent in operation.    
    Cable type and distance rules
    •	Cable	screening	is	paramount.	The	best	cable	screening	specifications	for	digital	KVM	
    extension are: S/FTP, S/STP or PiMF. 
    •	Extension distances up to 50m are supported with single uninterrupted runs of 
    recommended cable (Adder CAT7 patch cable) at full resolution.
    •	Extensions of 50m may be achieved with single uninterrupted runs of shielded CAT6a 
    bulk/trunk (not patch) cable at full resolution.
    •	Adder does not recommend CAT5e cables for use with this product. 
    •	Overall cable runs must be reduced by 5m for each additional cable coupling.
    •	Run	specifications	may	be	increased	by	10m	when	using	resolutions	of	1280	x	1024	or	
    lower.
    •	All patch cables should be as short as possible and should be no longer than 2m.
    •	It is recommended that Adder CAT7 patch cables are used for maximum performance.Recommended 50m link cable for best results: Adder part number - VSC AT7-50

    Installation
    CONNECTIONS
    Installation of the X-DVIPRO and X-DVIPRO-MS2 modules is straightforward and 
    requires	minimal	configuration	in	most	cases.	
    •	Connections at the local module
    •	Connections at the remote module
    Note: After all connections are made, power up the monitor and the REMOTE module first 
    (followed by the LOC AL module, if using the X-DVIPRO-MS2 variant) and then switch on the 
    computer.
    Mounting the modules – desk or rack
    The X-DVIPRO and X-DVIPRO-MS2 modules can be situated on a desk or alternatively, 
    for larger installations, mounted within an optional rack mount chassis.
    Desk mount
    Apply the supplied self-adhesive rubber feet to 
    the underside of the module.
    Rack mount
    1 Place the rack securing plate (available as a separate kit) onto the f\
    ront of the module 
    and secure it with the two countersunk screws.
    2 Orient the X-DVIPRO (or X-DVIPRO-MS2) module on its side so that its labeled face 
    is the correct way up.
    3 Slide the module into the required rack position. The rectangular cut-out in the front 
    upper lip of the rack allows the two screws on the module’s upper edge to slide 
    through.
    4 The	rack	mount	chassis	has	a	series	of	holes	in	its	floor	that	are	spaced	to	
    accommodate the two screws on the module’s lower edge. Ensure that the screws 
    correctly locate into the two holes of the chosen slot. The rack securing plate 
    on	the	module	should	now	be	flush	with	the	front	of	the	rack	mount	
    chassis.
    5 Use the third (pan-head) screw, in the top hole of the rack 
    securing plate to fasten the module to the rack.

    FURTHERINFORMATION
    X-DVIPRO: Use an optional power adapter only if powering from the host (via USB) is not possible. 
     Note: After all connections are 
    made, power up the monitor and 
    the REMOTE module first (followed 
    by the LOC AL module, if using the 
    X-DVIPRO-MS2 variant with power 
    adapters) and then switch on the 
    computer.
    Optional power connection
    The X-DVIPRO local module is designed to derive its power from the host computer via 
    the USB connection (two USB connections in the case of the MS version). If this is not 
    possible, then you will need to use one or two optional Adder power adapter(s).
    Optionally for X-DVIPRO and X-DVIPRO-MS2 units: 
     [MS2 variant only] Attach a second 
    category 6a or 7 link cable (up to 50 
    meters in length) to the upper socket 
    on the MS2 local module.
    Secondary CATx link cable
    Primary CATx link cable
    2 Insert the IEC connector of the separate power lead(s) into the corresponding 
    socket(s) of the power adapter(s). Connect the other end of the power lead(s) to one/
    two nearby mains socket(s).
    X-DVIPRO-MS2: Use two optional power adapters if powering from the host (via dual USB connections) is not possible. 
    1 Connect the output lead of the optional 
    power adapter(s) to the socket(s) labeled 
    POWER on the local module.  
    CATx link cable
    Do not use squid cables or 
    power splitters. Two separate 
    power adapters must be used. 
    5 Connect the link cable (see page 2 for cable advice) to the local module socket labeled 
    TO REMOTE.

    and mouse to the two USB sockets on 
    the remote module. 
     Note: On the single head variant, it is not 
    important which of the four sockets are 
    used.
    To keyboard, mouse and other USB peripherals
     [MS2 variant] Connect the leads from 
    the keyboard and mouse to the two 
    USB sockets on the remote module. 
    To keyboard, mouse and other USB peripherals
     IMPORTANT: The total current that may be drawn from the USB ports is 1.2A, which 
    should	be	sufficient	for	a	keyboard,	mouse	(no	more	than	100mA	each)	and	any	two	
    other devices (500mA maximum each). If more power for USB devices is required, 
    please use a powered USB hub.
