CHAPTER 4: Configuration
4. Configuration
To configure your ServSwitch Wizard MP system, you’ll need to configure first the
attached PCs, as directed in
Section 4.1
, then the Wizard MP itself, as directed in
the rest of this chapter.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Throughout the rest of this manual, the [Enter] designation refers to the
main “enter” or “carriage-return” key (often labeled “
↵
”) on the main
section of the keyboard. Do not use the “Enter” key on the numeric
keypad or the extra “Enter” key found on the main section of some
specialized keyboards.
4.1 Configuring Your Computers
Configure your computers in the same way that you would if your keyboard,
mouse, monitor, and audio peripherals were all connected directly to them. Keep
in mind that the ServSwitch Wizard MP emulates Microsoft compatible serial,
IntelliMouse, and PS/2 mice; so you’ll need to make sure that the software on any
attached IBM compatible PCs is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct
type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in
Section 3.1
.
4.2 Configuring the ServSwitch Wizard MP
The ServSwitch Wizard MP comes from the factory preset to default configuration
settings which are suitable for most applications. If you need to set the Wizard MP
differently, you can access its “configuration mode” to do so; once you do, the new
settings are stored in the ServSwitch Wizard MP’s EEPROM memory and are
retained when the Wizard MP is powered OFF.

You can access the ServSwitch Wizard MP’s configuration mode in either of two
different ways: Use one method when you power up the Wizard MP; use the other
while the Wizard MP is operating.
• To enter configuration mode at power-up, make sure the ServSwitch Wizard MP
and all attached computers are turned OFF and unplugged. Hold down the
front-panel pushbutton while you plug in the ServSwitch Wizard MP (if you’re
using the optional power supply) or power up one or more of the attached CPUs
(if you’re
not
using the Wizard MP’s power supply); do
not
release the button
until the ServSwitch Wizard MP displays lowercase “u”. While the Wizard MP is
displaying “u”, release the button, then hold it down again for five seconds
until the Wizard MP displays “C” to show that it is in configuration mode.
