operation installation welcome
Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch Wizard SRX extenders which provide a very effective way to put distance between your computer and its peripherals.
The compact casings and ease of use of the Wizard SRX modules belie the ingenuity of their operation. Using our proprietary transmission techniques we are able to reliably transfer more signals than ever before along a single length of Category 5, 5e or 6 twisted pair cabling. What this means for you is that your video, audio, USB keyboard, USB mouse and two other USB channels are all readily and reliably available at up to 50 metres away.
Using the Wizard SRX extenders does not mean that you need to compromise on functionality in any way. Our highly efficient transmission methods mean that high video resolutions of up to 1920
x 1440 are supported together with CD quality digital sound that produces no crackles - even in the quietest interludes. The USB connections are seamless and thanks to our unique ‘Bi-tripos’ circuitry, four full speed USB 2.0 devices can
be used simultaneously with full support for disconnect/re-connect at any time without causing errors.

The Wizard SRX extenders have been designed |
contents |
|
to be quick to install and totally transparent in |
||
|
||
operation. All connectors are industry standard and |
|
|
the video sharpness adjustments are made using a |
|
|
simple rotary dial. |
|
|
Where two screens are required, a dual VGA variant |
|
|
provides double video channels in addition to full |
welcome |
|
support for an RS232 serial device. So whether you |
||
are extending your workplace or creating a cost- |
||
|
||
effective distributed audio visual system, the Wizard |
|
|
SRX extenders provide the power and flexibility to |
|
|
create the right solution. |

Installation of the SRX modules is straightforward with minimal configuration requirements in most cases.
•Connections at the local module
•Connections at the remote module
Important
Do not attach a USB hub to the SRX remote, nor plug the SRX local module into another USB hub. To do so will reduce the maximum cable length over which the system will extend USB; also, some USB hubs may not provide enough power to operate the local unit.
Do not use USB cables that are longer than 3 metres to connect the local module to the computer or to connect the remote module to the USB peripherals.
The SRX modules offer two main mounting methods:
•Supplied four self-adhesive rubber feet
•Rack mount brackets - see below
