Installation and Operation

Installation Overview

To install and set up the VSW 2VGA A for operation, follow these steps:

1

Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the video and audio sources (computers, stereos, tape decks, or other devices), the VSW 2VGA A, the output devices (projectors, speakers), and the contact closure control device are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

2

If you are going to daisy chain two or more switchers with VSW I AAP control panels, identify the revision of the VSW 2VGA A board (for configuring the VSW I AAPs) and configure the switchers' jumpers. See “Setting the VSW 2VGA A Jumpers” on page 2-10.
