INSTALLING YOUR SW1956CT 6

Step 1. Connect the ALTINEX power adapter that is supplied with the unit to the power port.

CAUTION: The POWER port and the INPUT SELECT port use the same connector type. Make sure the power adapter is connected to the POWER port.

Step 2. The POWER LED and the INPUT 2 LED should turn on.

Step 3. Connect the SW1956CT inputs to the outputs of the Twisted Pair transmitters.

Step 4. Connect a cable from the output port of the SW1956CT to the input port of the Twisted Pair receiver.

Step 5. If the remote control switch is to be used, connect it to the INPUT SELECT port.

CAUTION: The POWER port and the INPUT SELECT port use the same connector type. Make sure the control switch is connected to the INPUT SELECT port.

Step 6. Verify that the picture quality on the display is good. If a signal is not being received, make sure that the display is compatible with the resolution of the computer graphics card.

OPERATION 7

There are no settings to adjust on the SW1956CT Auto-Switcher. The SW1956CT will operate successfully as long as cables are attached properly and other technical specifications are followed.

AUTO-SWITCH MODE

The SW1956CT automatically selects the INPUT 2 port if there are no active signals present. If there is an active signal on INPUT 2 and not on INPUT 1, then the SW1956CT will maintain INPUT 2 as the active port. However, when an active signal is applied to INPUT 1, the SW1956CT will switch to INPUT 1.

If there are active signals on INPUT 1 and INPUT 2, the SW1956CT will automatically switch to INPUT 1.

MANUAL SWITCH MODE

Manual override is accomplished via a contact closure on the INPUT SELECT jack. Manual Switch Mode disables auto-switching.

Included with the SW1956CT is an external manual switch with a 6 ft cable. This switch may be used for manual control, or the contact closure may be made from a control system. This port uses a

2.5mm mini-coaxial remote-control jack and it is located next to the Twisted Pair output.

INPUT 1 will be selected when the remote control switch is connected to the INPUT SELECT jack and the contact is closed. INPUT 2 will be selected if the contact is open.

CAUTION: The connector used for the INPUT SELECT port is the same type as is used for the POWER connector. Use caution to ensure the switch is connected to the correct port.
