Before connecting PC's to the
Switch, make sure that the Switch is powered by its Power Supply!
The PC's may be powered or not when you connect them to the Switch.
Keyboard, mouse and video monitor may be connected to the Switch
at any time. Do not power down the Switch while any PC is connected
to the Switch!
There are three main steps
to connect the Switch:
1. Connect PC's to Switch unit:
USB
Connect the keyboard inputs
of the PC's to the Switch using USB A-B cables. Connect PC #1's
USB port to the backpanel connector of the Switch marked "PC1".
Connect PC's #2 USB port to the back panel connector of the Switch
marked "PC2". It is not necessary to have both PC's
connected for the Switch to operate.
Video
Connect the Video outputs
of the PC's to the Switch using 15 pin HDD15 male/female extension
cables. Connect PC#1's video output to the backpanel connector
of the Switch marked "TO PC1 MON". Connect PC#2's video
output to the backpanel connector of the Switch marked "TO
PC2 MON".
Connect PC#1’s Monitor A video output to the backpanel connector of the Switch marked “PC1 MON A”, and connect PC#1's Monitor B video output to the back panel connector of the Switch marked “PC1 MON B”. Repeat this step for PC #2.
For the V3 and V4 series of MegaSwitch connect PC#1's Monitors C and D video outputs to the back panel connectors of the Switch marked "PC 1 MON C" and "PC1 MON D". Repeat this step for PC #2.
Audio (Audio models only)
Connect the Microphone inputs of the PC's to the Switch using
a stereo cable male/male with 3.5 mm plugs at connectors marked
"TO PC1 MIC ". Connect PC #2 audio output to the appropriate
backpanel connector of the Switch marked "TO PC2 MIC".
Connect the speaker outputs of the PC's to the Switch also using
a stereo cable male/male with 3.5 mm plugs at connectors marked
"TO PC1 SPKR". Connect PC #2, speaker outputs to the
appropriate backpanel connector of the Switch marked "TO
PC2 SPKR".
2. Connect a Workstation to the Switch:
NOTE: The USB keyboard and mouse can be connected to either of the two USB input connectors.
a) Keyboard Connect the keyboard to one of the two USB Type A connectors on the back panel of the Switch marked "USB IN".
b) Mouse Connect the mouse to the other USB Type A connector on the back panel of the Switch marked "USB IN".
c) VGA Monitor Connect the VGA monitor to the 15-pin HDD connector on the backpanel of the Switch marked "MONITOR IN".
Connect the VGA Monitor A to the 15-pin HDD connector on the back panel of the Swicth marked "MON A IN". Repeat for Monitors B, C, and D.
d) Audio models only Connect the microphone to the connector on the Switch marked "AUDIO INPUTS MIC IN" and connect to the speakers to the connector marked "AUDIO INPUTS SPKR IN".
e) Hub Support The Switch supports one level of hub at its USB Type A inputs, marked "USB IN". You have the option to connect devices to the Switch directly or via a hub. You can connect a hub, either an external hub or one built into a device, such as a keyboard, to either or both of the two USB Type A inputs. Devices can be connected either to a hub or directly to the Switch. The total number of active devices is limited to two. If more than two devices are connected, the additional devices will not be recognized by the Switch. In such a case, if the excess devices are unplugged, the remaining two devices will become operational.
3. Connect the Power Supply to the Video Switch:
The Video Switch is powered by
an external wall plug-in supply the VIP-210 (+5Vdc 1A reg. 110
- 240 Vac 50 - 60 Hz).
First plug the power output plug of this external supply into
the mating jack on the backpanel of the Video Switch marked "+5VDC
IN", and only then plug the supply into a suitable AC power
source. Since the Video Switch 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:
Before making any connections to the PC's, connect the external power supply to the Power Jack of the Switch, marked "+5VDC IN", on the back panel of the Switch. Keyboard, mouse and monitor(s) may be connected to the Switch at any time.
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.
