SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD MP
• A suitable mouse driver for any attached IBM compatible PCs. Supported types
are:
– PS/2 or RS-232 two-button mouse drivers by any manufacturer.
– Microsoft mouse drivers, including those for the IntelliMouse. (You might
be able to user other drivers with IntelliMouse compatible data formats, but
these might not work—trial-and-error testing might be necessary.)
– Logitech mouse drivers, including those for two-button, three-button, and
wheel mice.
3.2 Placement
The ServSwitch Wizard MP should be placed on a desktop or shelf near your
monitor and peripherals. You can use the optional Remote-Control Module if you
want to put a Wizard MP farther from your monitor and peripherals.
3.3 Connecting Your Equipment
NOTES
When you connect devices to Wizard MPs’ “control ports” and “CPU
ports,” refer to Figure 2-2 in
Section 2.3
to see where these ports are.
Any unused CPU-port or control-port connectors on a ServSwitch
Wizard MP can be left vacant.
Most ServSwitch Wizard MP applications will involve a keyboard, monitor, mouse,
and two to four computer CPUs attached to a
single
Wizard MP. If that describes
what you want to do, follow the procedure in
Section 3.3.1
.
If you want to switch between more than four CPUs, you’ll need multiple
cascaded
Wizard MPs to connect them together. Follow the procedure in
Section 3.3.2
.
As described in
Sections 3.3.1
and
3.3.2
, you’ll use Wizard MP CPU Cables to
connect your CPUs. You might need to also use ServSwitch Brand KVM extenders
if the distances involved are long enough. And to connect PC/AT style equipment,
you’ll need adapters. These cables, extenders, and adapters are described in
Section 3.3.3
.
