Welcome  
Introduction  
Thank you for choosing these Black Box ServSwitch Wizard extenders.  
Comprising two compact modules, these extenders allow you to place a  
duplicate keyboard, video monitor, mouse, audio accessories and a serial device  
up to 300 metres from a computer system. Two users can simultaneously view  
the output of the host system and either can take control, providing it is not  
being used by the other user. A user relinquishes control two seconds after their  
last key press or mouse movement.  
away from the host system computer. For both variants, a local module attaches  
to the computer system and provides connections for the local peripherals  
while the remote module is placed up to 984 ft (300m) away (656 feet [200m]  
maximum for the ACU5116A variant) and handles the remote peripherals. The  
long distance link between the two modules is made via Category 5, or higher,  
twisted pair cabling.  
Special circuitry within the remote module allows you to make adjustments to  
the sharpness and brightness settings to suit your own preferences. Additionally,  
a Skew adjustment is also provided to counteract the effects of uneven lengths  
of twisted pair cables that are used to carry the video signals.  
ACU5114A and ACU5116A variants of the Wizard extender set are available,  
with the latter providing the capability to also duplicate the audio accessories

Installation and operation  
Installation  
LOCAL module switches (continued)  
The installation of the Wizard extenders is straightforward and can best be  
achieved in most cases by following these stages for each module:  
LOCAL Switch 1  
OFF: Normal operation.  
• Stage A  
• Stage B  
• Stage C  
Check or set the configuration switch settings  
Mount the module  
ON: (Before power is applied) Places the LOCAL module into flash upgrade  
mode so that the internal software can be changed. Please see the ‘Flash  
upgrade’ section in the ‘Special configuration’ section.  
Connect the cables  
ON: (Whilst power is applied) Places the REMOTE module into password  
override mode. This allows any pre-configured passwords to be altered  
- particularly useful when they have been lost or forgotten. Please see the  
‘Password override’ section in the ‘Special configuration’ chapter.  
Stage A - Configuration switch settings  
The basic operation of the LOCAL and REMOTE modules are controlled by the  
banks of four switches located on the side of each module. The switches are  
monitored at all times and may be changed when power is on or off (the only  
exception to this rule is switch 1 of the LOCAL module which initiates slightly  
different functions depending on the power state when it is switched).  
LOCAL Switch 2  
OFF: Normal operation.  
ON: Set transparent mode. Use this setting if the Wizard extender modules are  
to be used with KVM switches produced by other manufacturers. Cascaded  
KVM switches often use special signals to set or identify conditions. In  
transparent mode, the Wizard extender modules will pass the signals  
without attempting to interpret them.  
LOCAL module switches

mono-channel microphone is connected to the MIC input on the REMOTE  
unit.  
4
OFF: Microphone input mode  
ON: Stereo line-in mode  
ON: Stereo line-in input on REMOTE module. Use this setting if a stereo input is  
applied to the MIC input on the REMOTE unit.

OFF: Normal operation.  
ON: Suspend operation and reset the LOCAL module. Use this setting  
momentarily to produce the same effect as removing and restoring power  
if incorrect operation has occurred. Return the switch to the OFF position  
to allow normal operation to continue.  
Note: When shipped, all switches are set in the OFF positions and this will  
produce normal operation with normal microphone input (at the REMOTE  
module).

Installation Advice  
Stage B - Mounting a module – desk or rack  
• For correct operation, the local and remote units must have ground  
connections. At the computer end, ensure that the computer or KVM switch  
that the LOCAL module is connected to has a ground connection. At the  
keyboard/monitor/mouse end, ensure that the REMOTE modules power  
supply is connected to a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground  
connection will be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.  
The Wizard extender modules can be situated on a desk (or floor) or alternatively  
for larger installations, mounted within optional rack mount chassis units.  
Desk mount  
Apply the supplied self-adhesive  
rubber feet to the underside of the  
module(s).  
Try to avoid laying the interconnect cable alongside power cables where  
possible.  
Rack mount  
ON

Note: The module switches are not accessible  
once it is inserted into the rack, therefore, check  
3
4
all settings before insertion.  
1 Place the supplied rack plate(s) onto the  
front of the module and secure it with the  
countersunk screws.  
2 Orient the module on its side so that its  
labelled face is the correct way up and the  
securing plate(s) is/are facing away from the  
rack.  
3 Slide the module into the required rack  
position. The rectangular cut-out in the  
front upper lip of the rack allows the two  
screws on the modules upper edge to slide  
through.  
4 The rack mount chassis has a series of holes  
in its floor that are spaced to accommodate  
the two screws on the modules lower edge.  
Mounting the double-width LOCAL module  
using both supplied rack plates  
Mounting the REMOTE module using  
the single cut-out rack plates  
Ensure that the screws correctly locate into the two holes of  
the chosen slot. The rack securing plate(s) on the module  
should now be flush with the front of the rack mount chassis.  
5 Use the supplied (pan-head) screw(s), in the top hole of the  
rack securing plate(s) to fasten the module to the rack.

Stage C - Connections  
The naming of the LOCAL and REMOTE modules relate to their proximity to the  
computer system. Hence, the LOCAL module connects directly to the system  
(and the local peripherals), while the REMOTE is at the other end of the twisted  
pair cable and attaches to the duplicate keyboard, mouse, etc.  
Serial cable connection  
The Wizard extender modules offer the option to attach an RS232 serial device  
(such as a touch screen input) via the remote link. The link supports software  
or hardware handshaking up to a maximum baud rate of 56Kb/s. To make the  
serial connection between the LOCAL module and your computer system, use  
the supplied serial link cable.  
Connections at the LOCAL module  
Note: It is not possible to attach a duplicate serial device at the LOCAL module.  
Multi-cable connection  
Most of the connections between the computer system and the LOCAL module  
are made via the supplied multi-cable. This has a single connection to the  
module, is two metres in length and splits out to the keyboard, video and mouse  
ports of the system.

Audio connections (ACU5116A only)  
On the ACU5116A REMOTE module, audio connections are available at the two  
3.5” jack sockets mounted on the side (same side as the switch bank). Note:  
Note: When the REMOTE module  
is rack mounted, the audio  
connections must be made  
after the module has been fixed  
in place. Access is required to  
the rear and above the rack.  
Remember to remove the audio  
connections before attempting to  
slide out the REMOTE module.  
The microphone input (labelled  
) has a dual function whereby it can either  
support a mono-channel microphone or alternatively receive stereo line input.

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

Locking and unlocking the system  
In situations where the computer system (and the LOCAL module) can be locked  
away, the Wizard extender modules offer a viable security system to deter  
unauthorised use. Once a password has been set, a simple key sequence allows  
the system to be quickly and securely detached from its peripherals. Only the  
correct password will reconnect the remote and local modules.  
To lock the system  
1 First set a password. For further details, please refer to the ‘Password setting’  
section in the ‘Special configuration’ chapter.  
2 Simultaneously press the currently configured hotkeys (by default,  
) along with

.
The screen will go blank and the three keyboard  
indicators will begin alternately flashing between the  
‘Num Lock’ and ‘Scroll Lock’, and ‘Caps Lock’. This  
sequence indicates that a password is required.  
To unlock the system  
1 Enter the correct password and press  
.
Note: Passwords are NOT case sensitive.  
Note: If an invalid password has been entered and the keyboard indicators  
are not flashing as described above, press to clear the incorrect attempt.  
2 If the correct password is entered, the screen will be restored and normal  
operation can continue.

Password setting  
Password override  
Password protection allows you restrict access to the system only to authorised  
personnel. A password first needs to be set and then, using the keyboard  
attached to the REMOTE module, a simple key sequence allows the system to be  
quickly and securely detached from its peripherals.  
This mode allows you to override the password that has been set at the REMOTE  
module and place it into configuration mode so that a new one may be set. This  
feature is particularly useful when passwords have been lost or forgotten.  
To override the REMOTE password

Hot plugging and mouse restoration  
To restore mouse operation when hot plugging:  
1 Carefully connect the Wizard extender modules to the system and its  
keyboard, mouse, monitor, audio and serial device.  
It is strongly recommended that you switch off the computer system before  
attempting to connect it via the Wizard extender modules. However, if this is not  
possible then you need to ‘hot plug’ the Wizard extender modules while power  
is still applied to the system. There is not normally a danger of damage to the  
system, however, when mouse communications are interrupted, often they fail  
to reinitialise when reconnected. Wizard extender modules provide a feature  
to reinstate mouse communications once the necessary connections have been  
made.  
2 Simultaneously, press the hotkeys (by default,  
to enter configuration mode.  
and  
) along with  
3 Enter the appropriate restore function code:  
PS/2 – press  
IntelliMouse – press  
There are two main types of data formats used by current PC mice, these are the  
older ‘PS/2’ format and the more recent ‘IntelliMouse®’ format introduced by  
Microsoft. These use slightly different data arrangements and it is important to  
know which type was being used before you hot-plugged the Wizard extender  
modules. The previous setting depends both on the type of mouse and the type  
of driver as various combinations of PS/2 and Intellimouse are possible. Using  
the incorrect restore function may produce unpredictable results and require the  
system to be rebooted.  
4 To exit configuration mode, press  
.
5 Move the mouse a short distance and check for appropriate on-screen  
cursor movement. If the mouse cursor darts erratically around the screen,  
then cease moving the mouse. This is an indication that the chosen restore  
function is incorrect. Try again using the other restore function.  
Note: The restore functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but  
may not restore the exact speed or sensitivity settings that were originally  
set.  
Which restore setting do I use?  
The general rule is that unless both the mouse and the driver are both  
Intellimouse compatible then you need to restore the mouse as ‘PS/2’.  
Microsoft and Logitech -specific mouse settings  
In certain installations some Logitech mouse drivers may lose the action of the  
mouse buttons when used with the standard ‘Microsoft compatible’ signalling  
protocol used between the modules. To solve this problem, select the ‘Logitech  
compatible’ mouse signalling protocol.  
Recognising an Intellimouse-style mouse  
The Intellimouse format was introduced to support, among other features, the  
scroll wheel function. If your mouse has a scroll wheel, then it is likely to support  
the Intellimouse format. If you have a Microsoft mouse, then it will usually state  
that it is an Intellimouse on its underside label.  
To change mouse signalling protocols  
1 Simultaneously, press the hotkeys (by default,  
to enter configuration mode.  
and  
) along with  
Recognising an Intellimouse driver  
Before hot plugging your Wizard extender modules (or afterwards using  
only keyboard control), access the Windows Control Panel and select either  
the Mouse option (on Windows NT, 2000 and XP) or the System option (on  
Windows 95, 98, ME). Look for the name of the driver, which will usually  
include the words PS/2 or Intellimouse.  
2 Enter the appropriate protocol code:  
Microsoft compatible – press  
Logitech compatible – press

Image controls - sharpness and brightness  
To use the image controls  
1 Simultaneously, press the hotkeys (by default,  
to enter configuration mode.  
The Wizard extender modules incorporate special controls to compensate for  
losses incurred within long cable links. Using these controls you can adjust the  
picture sharpness and brightness to improve your remote picture quality.  
and  
) along with  
The three keyboard indicators (‘Num Lock’, ‘Caps  
Lock’ and ‘Scroll Lock’) will now begin to flash in  
sequence. The speed of the sequence indicates the  
level of the sharpness adjustment currently applied:  
the slower the rate, the lower the level of sharpness  
being applied.  
The need for image control adjustment is best discovered when viewing high  
contrast images with vertical edges, such as black lines on a white background.  
When doing so, if you notice that the screen image is ‘fuzzy’ or ‘dark’ then the  
image controls may be able to solve this condition.  
Note: If the high contrast images exhibit shadows with separate colours, then  
there may be a skew problem which requires a different image adjustment - see  
the ‘Skew adjustment’ section for details.  
2 While viewing the displayed high contrast screen image, use the following  
keys to adjust the controls:

Flash upgrade  
Stage B - Create a startup diskette  
As part of the continual development and improvement process across our  
range of products, software upgrades are occasionally made available. The  
LOCAL and REMOTE modules both contain internal flash memory and our  
unique keyboard-link upgrade technique allow you to utilise software upgrades  
in a straightforward manner.  
For this stage you will need a 3floppy diskette that is either blank or has  
existing contents that are no longer required. The write protect tab must be  
moved to the ‘unprotected’ position. Depending on your operating system, use  
one of the following to create a startup disk:

Troubleshooting  
If you experience problems when installing or using the Wizard extender  
modules, please check through this section for a possible solution. If your  
problem is not listed here and you cannot resolve the issue, then please refer to  
the ‘Getting assistance’ section.  
Video image at the REMOTE module is distorted or shadows appear to  
the right of displayed objects.  
Adjustments are required to compensate for the length of the twisted pair cable  
being used. If video problems persist:  
The keyboard indicators are flashing between the Caps Lock and the  
Num Lock/Scroll Lock and the computer does not respond to any key-  
board or mouse inputs.  
• The modules are currently locked and require a valid password to be  
entered. Please refer to the section ‘Locking and unlocking the system’ for  
details.  
• Please refer to the ‘Image controls - sharpness and brightness’ section in the  
‘Special Configuration’ chapter.  
• If the overall video image is ‘fuzzy’ and/or has coloured shadows you may  
need to make skew adjustments. This procedure allows you to finely tune  
the red, green and blue video signal timings to overcome most colour  
separation problems. Please refer to the ‘Skew adjustment’ section in the  
‘Special Configuration’ chapter.  
Power is applied via the power supply but the REMOTE module opera-  
tion has stopped.  
• Each module has an internal automatic cut-out fuse to protect against  
power surges. To reset, remove power from the module for one second and  
then reconnect.  
No video image is received at the REMOTE module.  
• Check that the power/activity indicators are lit on the LOCAL and REMOTE  
modules - if they are not, then there is a power problem. The LOCAL  
module gains its power either from the computers keyboard socket or by  
using an optional power supply.  
The on-screen mouse pointer does not respond to mouse movements  
• The mouse connection may have been interrupted. Either, reboot the  
system and re-power the REMOTE module power supply, or try using the  
mouse restoration command. Please refer to the ‘Hot plugging and mouse  
restoration’ section in the ‘Special Configuration’ chapter.  
When keys are pressed or the mouse is moved, check that the indicators  
flicker – if they do not respond then there could be a twisted pair link  
problem or a problem with one of the modules.  
Sound from the microphone cannot be heard or is very quiet  
• Check the setting of LOCAL switch 3 - if a microphone is connected at the  
REMOTE module, the switch should be set OFF.  
• Check that the Category 5 (or higher) cable is wired correctly as per the  
diagram in the ‘Skew adjustment’ section in the ‘Special Configuration’  
chapter.  
Sound input from the stereo line input is distorted (‘tinny’ sounding) and  
only one channel is working  
• Check the setting of LOCAL switch 3 - if a stereo line input is connected at  
the REMOTE module, the switch should be set ON.  
• If possible, try using an alternative twisted pair connection between the  
modules.  
• If the sharpness control is set too high, the monitor may not be able to  
display a picture. Try reinstating the factory default sharpness settings.  
Please refer to the ‘Image controls - sharpness and brightness’ section in the  
‘Special Configuration’ chapter.  
Getting assistance  
If you are still experiencing problems after checking the list of solutions in the  
Troubleshooting section then please refer to the customer support information  
supplied on the front cover.  
Temporarily disconnect the video link to the LOCAL module, connect a  
monitor directly to the computer video port and check for a correct video  
image output.
