Installation 1 2 34 contents welcome ON installation Important Do not attach a USB hub to the SRX remote, nor plug the SRX local module into another USB hub. To do so will reduce the maximum cable length over which the system will extend USB; also, some USB hubs may not provide enough power to operate the local unit.

Dual user configuration ® You can combine two Wizard SRX extender sets to create a dual user configuration. Such an installation would allow a single computer to be controlled from two different positions, with each position receiving the same audio visual output and having equal and concurrent control over the computer.
Video display (DDC) information O R E M N O T E When power is first applied to the local module (either from the computer’s USB port or an optional power adapter) it will search for valid DDC data on its video out connector. During this process, the yellow indicator (built into the link connector) will flash to indicate its progress: • If no valid DDC information is located, the yellow indicator will give one very short flash, representing an attempt to read data.
Video sharpness adjustment ® The Wizard SRX remote module includes a straightforward video adjustment to control picture sharpness on the remote monitor.
Operation RS232 serial The dual VGA variant modules provide additional support for an RS232 device. The 9 way male D-type socket on the remote module supports speeds up to 115,200 baud and all PC-AT flow control pins are supported. contents welcome When using two sets of SRX modules to allow two users to access a single computer, be aware that arbitration between the users is handled by the USB sub-system of the computer.
