Welcome

Introduction

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

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

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.

*Secondary video, RS232 serial and a second link cable are available only with the Wizard SRX Dual VGA variant

Installation

Connections

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.

Mounting

The SRX modules offer two main mounting methods:

• Supplied four self-adhesive rubber feet

• Rack mount brackets - see below

Local module power

In the majority of installations, the local module will derive all of its power

successfully from the USB link with the computer system. However, if insufﬁcient

voltage is available from the computer system, the green indicator

adjacent to the link connector will ﬂash. If this occurs (or if you do

not intend to use the USB connection with the computer) you will

need to purchase and use a power supply identical to the one used

for the remote module from your Black Box stockist.

See the Important note on page 5

[MS2 variant only] Note: When connecting four USB devices to the unit,

ensure that their total power requirements do not exceed 1700mA (1.7A).

The USB standard states a maximum allowable current draw of 500mA

(0.5A) per device, although most devices remain well below this limit - USB

keyboards and mice typically require 100mA. Each X50 contains a self-

resetting fuse that will prevent damage by shutting down the unit if the

total power draw becomes excessive.
