5. Operation

In operation, many ServSwitch Agility and Agility Dual installations require no intervention once configured. The local transmitter
and remote receiver units take care of all connection control behind the scenes so that you can continue to work unhindered.

5.1 Front Panel Indicators

The six front panel indicators on each unit provide a useful guide to operation. See Figure 5-1.

These six indicators clearly show the key aspects of operation:

• NET On when valid network link is present. Flashes when the unit is in error.

• SER On when the AUX (serial) port is enabled and active.

• AUD On when audio is enabled and active.

• USB On when USB is enabled and active.

• DVI On when either or both DVI video channels are enabled.

• PWR Power indicator.
