3. Configuration & Operation

3.1 Modes of Operation

Auto Mode - This will select the VGA input with the highest priority that has an active VGA signal.

Scan Mode - Will select each active VGA signal for a specified number of seconds, 1-60, and then switch to the next active VGA input. The AC506A can also be configured to scan the non-active VGA inputs as well as the active VGA inputs.

Normal Mode - VGA inputs are selected based on front panel push- button selections.

The AC506A can only be in one of these modes at a time. You can specify mode of operation either from the Serial port or from the front panel (by pressing switch combinations simultaneously).

The Switch retains the last mode that it was in after power off and upon power up, will enter the last mode that it was in.

3.2 Front-Panel Switches

The first function of the front panel buttons is to switch from one VGA signal to another. Just press the button and the VGA signal you selected will be displayed. If there is no VGA signal to be displayed then you will see a black screen. The AC506A will enter Normal Mode any time a single front panel button is pressed.

The second use of the front panel buttons is to put the AC506A into Auto Mode. Press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and the AC506A will enter Auto Mode.

The third use of the front panel buttons is to put the AC506A into Scan Mode. Press buttons 3 and 4 simultaneously and the AC506A will enter Scan Mode. The time interval between switching will be the time interval last specified via the serial port. If no interval has been specified then the default is 5 seconds.
