3. Installation
3.1 What You Will Need
You’ll need these things to be in place before you can install your ServSwitch
Wizard Pro:
• Cables to connect the ServSwitch Wizard Pro to the keyboard, video, and
mouse ports of each of your PCs. Cable specifications are given in Appendix A.
(You do not need to connect a mouse cable if you are not using the mouse.)
• A monitor with a standard VGA/SVGA (HD15) connector that will work when
connected directly to each of your PCs. The ServSwitch Wizard Pro supports
low- and high-resolution monitors.
• A standard PC/AT or PS/2 style keyboard. (If you are using an AT keyboard
with a 5-pin DIN connector, you’ll need a standard AT to PS/2 keyboard
adapter—our product code FA212—to connect it to the ServSwitch Wizard
Pro.)
• A PS/2 style two- or three-button Microsoft
®
or Logitech™ compatible mouse
or a Microsoft IntelliMouse™ compatible mouse. If you want to use the mouse
to switch channels on the ServSwitch Wizard Pro, you will need a three-button
mouse or an IntelliMouse. (The Switch supports other “Internet mice”
compatible with the IntelliMouse—fitted with a wheel or other scrolling
control, and sometimes additional buttons—including the Logitech Pilot
Mouse+™, Logitech MouseMan+™, Genius™ NetMouse™ and Genius
NetMouse Pro™.)
All of the mouse connections from ServSwitch Wizard Pro to the attached
PCs support either a PS/2 or an RS-232 mouse. The Switch automatically
converts PS/2 mouse commands to RS-232 serial-mouse commands. You can
use a serial mouse as your shared mouse if you attach it to the Switch through
an appropriate adapter—our product code FA314—as described in
Appendix A.
The Switch will operate without a mouse connected if you don’t want
to use one.
• A suitable mouse driver for your PCs. Supported types are:
- PS/2 or RS-232 two-button mouse driver by any manufacturer.
- Microsoft mouse drivers, including those for the IntelliMouse.
- Logitech mouse drivers, including those for two-button, three-button,
and wheel mice.
