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.
1. Power Up Sequence:
There is no separate power control for the switch. The switch derives its power when either one of the four PC's that are connected to the switch are powered up. A Power Jack marked "+5VDC IN" on the back panel of the Switch is provided in case an external power supply is needed. A separate power source may be required if the keyboard and PS/2 mouse being used draws more current than can be provided from a single PC source.
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, 2, 3, or 4. 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 any of the PC's is completed, observe on the front panel of the switch that the appropriate green "SEL" indicator is on.
b) Front Panel Selection:
3. Auto Scan (available on DE Models only):
Auto Scan Mode will scan all powered on PC's connected to the MegaSwitch. The Switch will stay connected to each powered on PC for 5 seconds at a time and will continue to do so until disabled. To start Auto Scan hold down the Scroll Lock Key and press and release the A key, then release Scroll Lock. Auto Scan will start on the release of the Scroll Lock key, which also rearms the keyboard selection mechanism. The first PC selected will be the lowest numbered powered PC on the Switch.
Auto Scan mode
can be stopped by using the keyboard to select a PC, using the
"PC SELECTION" pushbutton for the appropriate PC desired,
or by the Stop Auto Scan keyboard sequence (Press and hold down
Scroll Lock, then press and release the S key, and then release
Scroll Lock). Auto Scan stops on the release of the Scroll Lock
key, which also rearms the keyboard selection mechanism.
