3. Connect the Power Supply to the MegaSwitch
The MegaSwitch is powered by an external wall plug-in supply the VIP-210 (+5Vdc 1A reg. 100 - 120 Vac 50 - 60 HZ). First plug the power output plug of this external supply into the mating jack on the backpanel of the MegaSwitch marked "+5VDC IN", and only thhe plug the supply into a suitable AC power source. Since the MegaSwitch has no separate power on/off switch, it is recommended that the power supply be connected to an AC power source that has a power on/off switch.
OPERATION
1. Power Up Sequence:
There is no separate power control for the switch. The switch derives its power directly from the external power supply supplied with the MegaSwitch. The MegaSwitch MUST be powered up first before any of the PC's are powered up to ensure proper communications from the MegaSwitch to the PC's. Any other power up sequence will not guarntee the integrity of the communications between the PC's and the MegaSwitch.
2. PC Selection:
a) Keyboard "Hot Key" Selection (available on all models): To select an active PC, first hold down the Scroll Lock Key, then pressing and releasing the top row keyboard keys 1 or 2. The number keys must be released before the Scroll Lock key. Switching takes place on the release of the Scroll Lock Key, which also rearms the keyboard selection mechanism. When selection of PC#1 or PC#2 is completed, observe on the front panel of the switch that the appropriate green "SEL" indicator is on.
