Installation Advice
• For correct operation, the local and remote units must have ground
connections. At the computer end, this is achieved by ensuring that the
computer or KVM switch that the Wizard module is connected to has a
ground connection. At the keyboard / monitor / mouse end, this can be
achieved by ensuring that the Wizard module’s power supply is connected to
a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground connection will be made
via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.
• Try to avoid laying the interconnect cable alongside power cables where
possible.
