Enabling Front Panel Lockout (Executive Mode)

Front panel lock mode (executive mode) disables all front panel controls. Putting the switcher in this mode enhances security by protecting against inappropriate or accidental changes to settings. When the switcher is in lock mode, RS-232 and IR control remain available.

To lock or unlock the front panel, press and hold Input buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for 3 seconds, then release them. The front panel LEDs blink three times, indicating that front panel lock mode has been enabled or disabled (see the illustration below).

Setting Equalization for Input Sources

The front panel contains a set of Input EQ DIP switches, one for each of the switcher inputs. High and low equalization levels for each input are selected via these switches. Setting them to High (up) compensates for a degraded or poor quality signal, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning equipment.

If the input signal is strong, set the switches to Low (down).

EDID Modes

The SW DVI switchers utilize the EDID Minder, which maintains EDID communication to all connected source devices, whether or not any of the sources are selected. EDID information consists of the display resolution, refresh rate, data rate, supported audio formats, and other features. By factory default, the EDID stored on all inputs contains information for a native resolution of 1024x768.

The EDID information can be communicated in two modes: automatic and user-assigned.

Automatic mode

In automatic mode, the switcher automatically stores EDID from the connected display and communicates it to the inputs; no other configuration is required. This is the default mode.

•Reading and storage process — Each time a display is connected to the DVI output while the power is connected, the SW DVI Plus reads the EDID from the display device and stores it at each input. This information is retained after the display is disconnected; however, it is overwritten if a new display is connected or a user assigned EDID file is selected.

•Default EDID — When the switcher is in automatic mode, the default EDID (1024x768 @ 60 Hz) is stored at each input until a display is connected, at which time it is overwritten.
