Installation Overview
To install and set up the SW USB switcher,
Mount the switcher on a rack shelf or under furniture, if desired. (See
“Mounting the SW USB Series Switcher”, below.)
Connect host device(s) to one or more SW USB input connectors, using USB
cable lengths of up to 15 inches (4.5 m) and USB B connectors.
Connect one or more peripheral USB devices to the SW USB Output
Hub ports, using USB cable lengths of up to 15 inches (4.5 m) and USB A
connectors.
If desired, connect an RS-232 cable to the SW USB’s RS-232 port and to a host
computer or control system. (See “Wiring for RS-232 Communication,” later
in this chapter.)
N
Your RS-232 computer or control system should not be one of the host devices
connected to any of the input ports. Use a separate computer for RS-232
communication.
If desired, connect an external Extron A/V switcher to the RS-232 Pass Thru
port. This switcher can then be controlled via commands sent through this
port.
If desired, wire one of the provided three-pole or five-pole captive screw
plugs to a 2-button or 4-button contact closure device, and connect the device
to the SW USB’s Contact port. (See “Contact Closure Control,” later in this
chapter.”)
If using a different power supply from the one that was provided, wire a 2-pin
captive screw connector to the external power supply. (See “Wiring the Power
Connector,” later in this chapter.)
SW4 USB Plus only: If desired, attach a keyboard and/or mouse to output
port 3 and/or 4, and set the appropriate DIP switch(es) for host emulation.
