Operation
Power and activity indicators
On the front panel of both modules 
are small recessed indicators which 
provide confirmation of power and 
activity, as follows:
•  Constant red - power applied, no 
communication activity.
•  Flickering red - power applied, 
mouse or keyboard activity 
occuring.
•  Slow flashing red - module is in 
flash upgrade mode. 
Note: Both modules contain internal 
automatic cut-out fuses to protect 
against power surges. To reset, remove 
power (or, for the LOCAL module, 
the multi-cable connection) from the 
module for one second and then 
reconnect. 
General use
In use, the Wizard extender modules should be almost transparent - the system 
and its peripherals should operate almost exactly as normal, the only difference 
being that they are duplicated (see ‘User arbitration’ below) and one set is now 
up to 300 metres away. 
User arbitration and keyboard indicators
During operation, both of the connected video monitors continuously receive 
the output from the host system. Control of the host system is arbitrated by the 
Wizard extender modules on a first come, first served basis. In the idle state, 
control is available to both users and their keyboard indicators both show the 
current Num Lock, etc. conditions of the host system.
At the moment that a key is 
pressed or a mouse is moved, 
the keyboard and mouse of 
the other user are temporarily 
locked-out (the video images 
remain). The keyboard 
indicators of the locked-out 
user then begin to flash to 
confirm their status 
ð
After two seconds of 
inactivity from the user 
currently in control, the modules return to their idle condition and re-instate the 
keyboard indicators of the locked-out user.
Visible image shadows
In some installations, you may see some ‘shadows’ to the right of high contrast 
screen characters. This can be caused by an incorrectly selected sharpness setting 
and it may be necessary to make adjustments to correct this. Please see ‘Image 
controls - sharpness and brightness’ in the ‘Special configuration’ section.
