4.3 Glide and Switch configuration
4.3.1 Installing the Glide and Switch configuration application
The Glide and Switch configuration application is available for download from the Black Box website. Go to the KV0004A product
page and click on the 'Resources' tab.
1. Install the application onto any computer (not necessarily one of the four computers linked to the ServSwitch Freedom unit)
that has a vacant serial port. Run the installation application and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Use the supplied Flash Upgrade Adapter and any CAT5 patch cable to link the computer serial port to the ServSwitch Freedom
OPTIONS port. If the optional ServSwitch Freedom LED Monitor module is connected to the OPTIONS port, then instead connect
the upgrade cable between the computer serial port and the TO KEYPAD OR PC port of the ServSwitch Freedom LED Monitor
module (see 3.3.5 Optional LED monitor indicator connections for details).
3. Start the configuration application.
4.3.2 Configuring the Glide and Switch system
Use the Glide and Switch configuration application to declare the display screens and their positions relative to each other. Then
download the configuration to the ServSwitch Freedom unit.
1. On the icon bar, click the red, green, blue and yellow screen icons (or use the Screens menu) to add the required number of
display screens to the map area. See Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1. Adding display screens to the layout
2. Arrange the colored rectangular screen representations to mimic the physical layout of the actual displays. See Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2. Example screen layouts
The important thing is to define where each screen edge abuts to the next so that the ServSwitch Freedom unit can deter-
mine the correct moments to switch channels.
Use the small black squares around the perimeter of each highlighted screen representation to change their size or stretch
them.
Note: The numbering of the screen representations relate directly to the four channels on the ServSwitch Freedom unit.
