Installation and operation
Installation
The installation of the X2 Multi Screen extenders is straightforward and can best be achieved in most cases by following these stages for each module:
• | Stage A | Check or set the configuration switch settings |
• | Stage B | Mount the module |
• | Stage C | Connect the cables |
Stage A - Configuration switch settings
The basic operation of the LOCAL and REMOTE modules are controlled by the banks of four switches located on the side of each module. The switches are monitored at all times and may be changed when power is on or off (the only exception to this rule is switch 1 of the LOCAL module which initiates slightly different functions depending on the power state when it is switched).

Note: When shipped, all switches are set in the OFF positions and this will produce normal operation with normal microphone input (at the REMOTE module).
LOCAL module switches (continued)
LOCAL Switch 1
OFF: Normal operation.
ON: (Before power is applied) Places the LOCAL module into flash upgrade mode so that the internal software can be changed. Please see the ‘Flash upgrade’ section in the ‘Special configuration’ section.
ON: (Whilst power is applied) Places the REMOTE module into password override mode. This allows any
-particularly useful when they have been lost or forgotten. Please see the ‘Password override’ section in the ‘Special configuration’ chapter.
LOCAL Switch 2
OFF: Normal operation.
ON: Set transparent mode. Use this setting if the X2 Multi Screen modules are to be used with KVM switches that are not manufactured by Adder Technology. Cascaded KVM switches often use special signals to set or identify conditions. In transparent mode, the X2 Multi Screen modules will pass the signals without attempting to interpret them.
LOCAL Switch 3
OFF: Microphone input on REMOTE module. Use this setting if a standard mono- channel microphone is connected to the MIC input on the REMOTE unit.
ON: Stereo
LOCAL Switch 4
OFF: Normal operation.
ON: Suspend operation and reset the LOCAL module. Use this setting momentarily to produce the same effect as removing and restoring power if incorrect operation has occurred. Return the switch to the OFF position to allow normal operation to continue.
