Setting executive mode

To exit executive mode, repeat the procedure described on the previous page. When the SW USB is no longer in executive mode, the red LED turns off.

2. Place the DIP switches on the rear panel in the appropriate position to enable emulation for the connected device. The table below shows the switch positions for keyboard and/or mouse emulation.

Resetting

To reset the switcher to its factory default settings from the front panel,

1. Disconnect power from the SW USB.

2. Press and hold the Input 1 button while applying power to the unit.

Example: In the illustration at right, emulation is enabled for both a mouse and a keyboard.

If two standard mice or keyboards are connected to output ports 3 and 4, and the appropriate emulation DIP switch is set to on (up), the SW4 USB Plus emulates a host to both ports.

The Input LEDs blink three times to indicate that a reset has occurred. The input selection defaults to input 1, and the Input 1 LED lights.

Host emulation (SW4 USB Plus only)

The SW4 USB Plus model provides host emulation to peripheral devices on the output of the switcher. If a keyboard and/

or a mouse is connected to output port 3 or 4, and the Host Emulation DIP switch(es) are set to on, the SW USB emulates a host PC to the connected peripheral device. The keyboard/ mouse connected to the switcher’s port 3 or 4 still responds as if it were attached directly to the computer on the selected input.

Host emulation allows instant communication of the emulated ports when the SW USB switches to another input, by eliminating the delay that normally occurs when a computer recognizes a new device.

Setting up for host emulation

Host emulation is enabled via the Host Emulation DIP switches on the rear panel. To enable host emulation,

1. Connect a keyboard, a mouse, or both to output port 3 and/or 4. The SW4 USB Plus can emulate a keyboard and a mouse simultaneously. Either type of device can be connected to either or both of the two emulation ports (3 and 4).

NWhen one or both DIP switches are set to on (up), host emulation follows the attached peripheral device:

•When the Mouse DIP switch (switch 1) is set to on (up), the switcher emulates a host to any standard mouse that is connected to either of the emulation output ports (3 or 4).

•When the Keyboard DIP switch (switch 2) is set to on, the switcher emulates a host to any standard keyboard that is connected to an emulation port.

•When both DIP switches are set to on, the switcher emulates a host to any connected standard mouse and/or keyboard that is connected to port 3 or 4.

Supported peripheral devices

The SW4 USB Plus can emulate a host only to a standard keyboard and a standard mouse. The emulation feature is not supported with non-standard keyboards or mice, such as devices that require additional drivers.

USB devices other than standard keyboards and mice can be connected to output ports 3 and 4, but are not supported by the emulation feature. If you plan to use such devices, set the Host Emulation DIP switches to off. Examples of non-standard keyboards or mice include media keyboards or five-button mice.
