Installation and operation
Installation
The installation of the Wizard Extender set is straightforward and can
best be achieved in most cases by following these stages for each
module:
• Stage A
Check or set the configuration switch settings
• Stage B
Mount the module
• Stage C
Connect the cables
Stage A - Configuration switch settings
The basic operation of the LOCAL and REMOTE modules are controlled
by the banks of four switches located on the side of each module. The
switches are monitored at all times and may be changed when power
is on or off (the only exception to this rule is switch 1 of the LOCAL
module which initiates slightly different functions depending on the
power state when it is switched).
LOCAL module switches
LOCAL module switches (continued)
LOCAL Switch 1
OFF: Normal operation.
ON: (Before power is applied) Places the LOCAL module into flash
upgrade mode so that the internal software can be changed.
Please see the ‘Flash upgrade’ section in the ‘Special
configuration’ section.
ON: (While power is applied) Places the REMOTE module into
password override mode. This allows any pre-configured
passwords to be altered - particularly useful when they have been
lost or forgotten. Please see the ‘Password override’ section in
the ‘Special configuration’ chapter.
LOCAL Switch 2
OFF: Normal operation.
ON: Set transparent mode. Use this setting if the Wizard modules are
to be used with KVM switches produced by other manufacturers.
Cascaded KVM switches often use special signals to set or identify
conditions. In transparent mode, the Wizard modules will pass the
signals without attempting to interpret them.
LOCAL Switch 3
OFF: Microphone input on REMOTE module. Use this setting if a
standard mono-channel microphone is connected to the MIC
input on the REMOTE unit.
ON: Stereo line-in input on REMOTE module. Use this setting if a
stereo input is applied to the MIC input on the REMOTE unit.
LOCAL Switch 4
OFF: Normal operation.
ON: Suspend operation and reset the LOCAL module. Use this setting
momentarily to produce the same effect as removing and
restoring power if incorrect operation has occurred. Return the
switch to the OFF position to allow normal operation to continue.
Note: When shipped, all switches are set in the OFF positions and this
will produce normal operation with normal microphone input (at the
REMOTE module).
