Configuration

You can alter the way that the Wizard extender modules operate to suit your requirements. This is done using the Configuration mode and you can affect the following settings:

Password setting – allows you to lock the remote module to prevent unauthorised system access.

Mouse restoration and settings – allows you to restore mouse operation and also to change the mouse type.

Image controls - sharpness & brightness – allows you to manually adjust the video image to ensure that it is crisp and bright.

Skew adjustment – allows you to manually compensate for possible video errors introduced by long, uneven cable connections.

Miscellaneous functions – report firmware version and restore settings.
