Using your Switch

Selecting a Computer Using Port Selectors

1

 

 

 

Now that you have connected your console and computers to the Switch,

2

it is ready for use. You can select which computer you wish to control by

pressing the corresponding port selector on the front of the Switch. The LED

 

 

 

3

will illuminate to indicate which computer (or port) is currently selected. It

 

takes approximately 1–2 seconds for the video signal to refresh after switching

 

 

computers. Re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signals also

 

4

occurs. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is

established between the console and the connected computers.5

 

5

Once you press a port selector, the Switch immediately disables the connection

between your console and the previously selected computer, and establishes

 

 

 

 

a new connection between your console and the new computer selected.

6

Keyboard and mouse inputs can only be sent to the selected computer, and

 

 

video outputs can only be received from the selected computer. The Switch also

7

prevents

any data transfer between connected computers, ensuring the security of

 

 

 

 

your computers.

Please note that the default port at power-up is port one. In case of a power failure or if the power is cycled, the Switch will default to port one.

5Note: It may take longer for your mouse and keyboard to re-synchronize when the computer is recovering (or initializing) from Standby, Hibernate, or Sleep modes.
