Transmitter’s DIP switch (leave all positions OFF—the default settings—for normal operation):

•Position 1: Move this position to ON to put the transmitter in upgrade mode (see Chapter 6) so that new firmware can be downloaded into its flash memory.

•Position 2: If you want to use the Extender between two cascaded KVM switches that aren’t circuit-compatible with it (as are ServSwitch Wizards, Duos, or Quadros), move this switch position to ON for “transparent” operation, so that the Extender can pass through types of cascade signaling that it isn’t designed for.
