Powering the LongView Wireless Extender

The LongView Wireless units (transmitter and receiver) have been factory

configured to operate as a companion pair. The initial radio link between

the two units is established by the receiver, although all other aspects of the

link are controlled by the transmitter. Once the radio link is established,

mouse, keyboard, video and audio data is free to flow between the two units.

To power up the LongView Wireless Extender:

1. Complete all of the installation steps. See Chapter 2.

2. Power

up the LongView Wireless transmitter and wait for the middle

LED marked as S2 to illuminate.

3. Power

up the monitor attached to the LongView Wireless receiver.

4. Power

up the LongView Wireless receiver.

5. Power

up your computer.

NOTE: Always power up the LongView Wireless transmitter and wait for the middle LED
marked S2 to illuminate before powering up your computer.

Informational Messages

When the LongView Wireless receiver is powered up, it will display a

message on the computer monitor to which it is attached:

Searching for CLT_000c4116bc7b

The 000c4116bc7b is replaced by the MAC id of the radio board in your

transmitter unit. This message indicates that your receiver unit is actively

searching for its companion transmitter. When it finds the companion

transmitter, it will display a second message beneath the first:

Connecting to CLT_000c4116bc7b

The 000c4116bc7b is replaced by the MAC id of the radio board in your

transmitter unit. This message indicates that your receiver unit is

establishing the radio link with your transmitter unit. When this link is

established, both messages will be removed and the monitor will display

video information from your computer.
