CHAPTER 3: Installation
• A suitable mouse driver for your PC(s). Supported types are:
- PS/2 or RS-232 two-button mouse driver by any manufacturer.
- Microsoft mouse drivers, including those for the IntelliMouse. (You might be
able to use other mouse drivers with IntelliMouse compatible data formats,
but these might or might not work—trial-and-error testing might be
necessary.)
- Logitech mouse drivers, including those for two-button, three-button, and
wheel mice.
The Extender will automatically configure its mouse output to match the type
requested by any supported driver.
• Any audio devices (microphone, speakers, etc.) you want to use.
• Any standalone serial devices you want to use, along with any cables and
adapters you’ll need to hook them up. Refer to
Appendix B
.
3.2 Placement
The ServSwitch Wizard Multimedia KVM Extender has been designed to be either
set on a desktop or surface-mounted close to the computers that it’s serving. To
mount the Extender on a wall or other surface, use the two Velcro strips that came
with the unit. Peel the backing away from one side of each of the two strips and
press the strips firmly onto the bottom of the unit (the wide flat area where there
are no connectors and no LEDs). Then peel the backing away from the other side
of the strips and press the bottom of the Extender firmly against the surface you
want to mount the Extender on.
It is possible to rackmount the Extender using the Rackmount Kit designed
specifically for it (our product code RMK19WX). Refer to
Appendix C
for the
details of the rackmounting procedure.
