Local console connections: Video

The Wizard IP Plus uses DVI/I video ports that support both digital and analogue video monitor connections. The Wizard IP Plus automatically converts between the two connection styles to ensure independence between the locally connected video monitor, the remote user’s video monitor and the graphics capabilities of the host computer(s).

To connnect a local video monitor

1Wherever possible, ensure that power is disconnected from the Wizard IP Plus.

2As appropriate, position a suitable digital or analogue video monitor to the DVI/I socket on the rear panel of the Wizard IP Plus unit:

Digital Connect the digital video monitor cable to the port labelled DVI VGA within the KVMA CONSOLE section of the rear panel.

Analogue Connect a converter module to the port labelled DVI VGA within the KVMA CONSOLE section of the rear panel. Connect the analogue video monitor cable to the converter module. In both cases, ensure that the securing screws are used to maintain reliable connections.
