Quick Start Guide — SW USB Series

Follow these steps to set up and start using the SW USB switcher:

Step 1

Mount the SW USB on a rack shelf or under furniture, if desired. See “Mounting the SW USB Series Switcher”, in chapter 2, “Installation”, for mounting procedures.

Step 2

Connect host device(s) to one or more SW USB input connectors, using A to B type USB cable lengths of up to 15' (4.5 m).

Step 3

Connect one or more peripheral USB devices (such as a keyboard and/or mouse) to the USB Output Hub ports, using USB cable lengths of up to 15' (4.5 m).

If host emulation will be used (SW USB Plus only): Attach a standard keyboard and/or mouse to output port 3 and/or 4, and set the appropriate DIP switch(es) to on. (See “Host Emulation [SW4 USB Plus only],” in chapter 3, “Operation.”)

Step 4

If desired, connect an RS-232 cable to the SW USB’s RS-232 port and to a host computer or control system. (See “Wiring for RS-232 Communication,” in chapter 2, “Installation”.)

NYour RS-232 computer or control system should not be one of the host devices connected to any of the input ports. Use a separate computer for RS-232 communication.

Step 5

If desired, connect an external Extron A/V switcher to the RS-232 Pass Thru port. This switcher can then be controlled via commands sent through this port.

Step 6

If using RS-232 pass-through to control an A/V switcher, enter one of the following SIS™ (Simple Instruction Set) commands via your RS-232 interface to select a loop mode for issuing commands. (See “RS-232 Pass Thru port” in chapter 2, “Installation”.)

•E1LOOP}(Loop 1 mode [default]) — Lets you issue SIS commands to the SW USB via an RS-232 interface and/or pass them through to the A/V switcher.

•E0LOOP}(Loop 0 mode) — Lets you issue the input selection command X!! to the SW USB via contact closure, the SW USB front panel buttons, or the RS-232 interface, and to pass the command through the RS-232 Pass Thru port to the A/V switcher.
