USING THE USB WIZARD KVM SWITCH

Once the USB Wizard switch is properly connected, the USB Wizard will enable a connection to be made between the

CPUs attached to its VIDEO and CPU ports and the monitor and input devices attached to the MONITOR and DEVICES ports. The LEDs on the control panel of the USB Wizard will illuminate depending on which port (and corresponding CPU) is being connected to the monitor and input devices.

The USB Wizard can be controlled by three methods:

•front control panel using touch-switches and LEDs

•keyboard control through Command Mode

•mouse clicks from within some menus of OSD Command Mode (optional).

Front Panel Control

There is a touch-switch and LED on the front panel of the USB Wizard for each CPU the switch will connect the monitor and input devices to. Pressing any touch-switch on the front panel of the USB Wizard will connect the corresponding CPU to the monitor and input devices.

Holding down any front panel touch-switch for more than 2 seconds will cause the USB Wizard to cycle through all modes of operation including COMMAND, SCAN, and NORMAL (described below and on page 11). The two

MODE LEDs on the front panel indicate which mode is selected. Release the touch-switch when the LEDs indicate the desired mode. When no mode LEDs are illuminated the user is in Normal Mode controlling directly the CPU to which the user is connected through the USB Wizard.

Keyboard Control

Keyboard control of the USB Wizard can be achieved using either of two methods:

•Basic Command Mode- operated strictly by using keyboard commands as instructed below. Basic Command Mode is only applicable if the OSD option is not built into the switch.

•OSD Command Mode (optional)- operated using the keyboard and mouse in conjunction with OSD menus superimposed onto the monitor. If OSD is built in, use the menus as instructed on page 11.

By pressing <Ctrl> + < ` > (accent key), the user can enter Command Mode (either Basic, or OSD). Once in Command Mode, typing a series of commands will cause the USB Wizard to connect the user to any one CPU connected to the switch. Pressing the <Esc> key will exit Command Mode.

MODES OF OPERATION

Basic Command Mode
