SwitchView OSD Installer/User Guide
Pairing
Pairing connects two SwitchView OSD units serially, allowing access to
16 computers with one keyboard, monitor and mouse without using a
computer port. It is used in place of cascading two units. To pair your
SwitchView OSD units, use the instructions below instead of those given in
the Installation chapter.
Initial Configurations
1. Select one of your two SwitchView OSD units to be used as the slave unit.
2. Connect your VGA monitor cable to the port labeled blue on the back
of this unit. Next, connect your keyboard to the port labeled purple
on the same unit.
3. Locate the power cord that came with your SwitchView OSD unit. Plug
it into the IEC power connector on the SwitchView OSD. Make sure that
the SwitchView OSD power switch is off, then plug the other end of the
power cord into an appropriate AC wall outlet. This outlet must be near
the equipment and easily accessible to allow for unplugging prior to any
servicing of the unit.
4. Turn the SwitchView OSD unit on and press the
Control
key twice to
activate the On-Screen Display system. The Administrator Channel list
will appear in a pop-up menu.
