LED Indicators

Sender Unit

The LED indicators on the Sender and Receiver unit provide basic information on the current status of the DisplayPort KVM Extender over CAT-7.

LED Status Description
Power	Solid blue	• Power connected to Sender unit.
	Off	○ • No power supplied to Sender unit.
Host USB Solid green • Power connected to the Sender unit.• USB devices connected properly.• USB link integrity between Sender and Receiver unit is good.

Receiver Unit

LED Status Description

USB Link Solid green • Power connected to the Receiver unit.
Off • No power supplied to the Receiver unit.
Flashing green	• USB devices not connected.
Link Solid green • Power connected to the Receiver unit.
Off • No power supplied to the Receiver unit.
Solid red • CAT-7 cable not connected between Link 1 / Link 2 jack on Sender and Receiver unit.
Flashing red	• Receiver unit is attempting to establish a link with the Sender unit.

DIP Switch Configuration

The DisplayPort KVM xtender over CAT-7 contains four DIP switches on the bottom of the Sender unit. Adjust the DIP switch settings based on the type and cable length that is being used.

1 2 3 4

DIP switches located on the bottom of the Sender Unit. If the DIP switch is ON, it will be in the "up" position.

DIP Switch Position Differential Output Voltage
DIP 1 ON (default) 1.2 Vpp
	CENTER 1.0 Vpp
	OFF 600 mVpp

DIP Switch Position Pre-emphasis Select
DIP 2 ON (default) 9 dB
	CENTER 6 dB
	OFF 0 dB

DIP Switch Position		Position	Boost Level (dB) @ 5 GHz
	DIP 3	DIP 4
DIP 3	OFF OFF 2.7 to 7.3 dB
DIP 4	OFF ON 12.2 to 16.6 dB
	ON OFF 20.6 to 24.8 dB
	ON ON 27.6 to 28.9

Hot-Plug Detect (HPD)

The DisplayPort KVM Extender over CAT-7 has an HPD button on the front of the Receiver unit. Pressing this button will cycle the HPD (Hot-Plug Detect) line on the display (sink) device. This HPD button provides the same effect as disconnecting then reconnecting the DisplayPort cable from the Receiver unit. Cycling the HPD line will cause the Receiver unit to re-read the EDID of the display and send it back to the DisplayPort source.

Receiver unit

Adjusting the Signal Quality

The DisplayPort KVM Extender over CAT-7 has an equalization device on the front of the Receiver unit. This 16-position rotary switch is used to adjust the boost level depending upon the length of the CAT-7 cable.

1. Insert a small flat-headed tool into the notch on the rotary switch.

The table below provides examples of various cable types and lengths for CAT-6 cabling.

Cable type Length Rotary switch position
Belden CAT-6A, UTP, 10Gx12 - 4PR/23	100 feet (30 meters) 3 through D
Belden CAT-6A, UTP, 10Gx12 - 4PR	130 feet (40 meters) 9 through B
Teldor CAT-6A, FTP, 4x(2x26/7) - 500 Mhz	115 feet (35 meters) A through F
Draka CAT-6A, FTP UC500 4P 09 339765 107271827	100 feet (30 meters) 7 through C

1. Turn the rotary switch clockwise or counterclockwise until it clicks to the next position.
2. Check the image. Continue adjusting the rotary switch if the issue is not resolved.

Surface-Mounting Instructions

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with multiple screws and a dashed light path, no text or symbols present

The Gefen DisplayPort KVM Extender over CAT-7 can be mounted on any horizontal or vertical flat surface (e.g. wall or inside / outside a cabinet with wood / drywall screws) as shown in the diagram above. There should be an inch or two of clearance between the edges of the unit and any walls or vertical surfaces to allow for enough clearance for connection and disconnection of the DisplayPort cable.

For installation on a drywall surface, use a #6 drywall screw. When installing, it is recommended to use the center hole on a stud.
