SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD EXTENDER
3. Installation
3.1 What You Will Need
These things must be in place before you can install your ServSwitch™ Wizard
Extender:
Four-pair (eight-wire) twisted-pair cabling rated to at least Category 5. This
should be long enough to reach from your Extender transmitter to the
receiver, up to a maximum of 200 meters (655 feet). Other specifications for
this cabling are given in the Appendix.
You can make use of any Category 5 structured-cabling systems that might
already be in place at your sites, but you should keep the number of cables and
connectors involved to a minimum in order to maximize signal quality.
A monitor with a standard VGA/SVGA (HD15) connector that will work when
connected directly to each of your PCs. The Extender supports low- and high-
resolution monitors.
A standard PC/AT
®
or PS/2 style keyboard. If you are using a PC/AT keyboard
with a 5-pin DIN connector, you can connect it to the Extender using a
standard PC/AT to PS/2 keyboard adapter such as product code FA211.
A PS/2 style two- or three-button Microsoft or Logitech
®
compatible mouse or
a Microsoft IntelliMouse compatible mouse. (The Extender supports other
“Internet mice” compatible with the IntelliMouse—fitted with a wheel or other
scrolling control, and sometimes additional buttons—which are available from
several manufacturers.)
Keep in mind that the Extender will operate without a mouse connected if
you don’t want to use one.
A suitable mouse driver for your PCs. Supported types are:
- PS/2 or RS-232 two-button mouse driver by any manufacturer.
- Microsoft mouse drivers, including those for the IntelliMouse. (You might be
able to use other mouse drivers with IntelliMouse compatible data formats,
but these might or might not work—trial-and-error testing might be
necessary.)
- Logitech mouse drivers, including those for two-button, three-button, and
wheel mice.
The Extender will automatically configure its mouse output to match the type
requested by any supported driver.
