Powering the LongView Wireless Extender

The LongView Wireless units (transmitter and receiver) have been factory configured to operate as a companion pair. The initial radio link between the two units is established by the receiver, although all other aspects of the link are controlled by the transmitter. Once the radio link is established, mouse, keyboard, video and audio data is free to flow between the two units.

To power up the LongView Wireless Extender:

1.Complete all of the installation steps. See Chapter 2.

2.Power up the LongView Wireless transmitter and wait for the middle LED marked as S2 to illuminate.

3.Power up the monitor attached to the LongView Wireless receiver.

4.Power up the LongView Wireless receiver.

5.Power up your computer.

NOTE: Always power up the LongView Wireless transmitter and wait for the middle LED marked S2 to illuminate before powering up your computer.
