COMPACT BIDIRECTIONAL DUAL BUS AUTOSWITCHES
4.1 Auto-Link Mode
The Autoswitch will constantly scan its input ports and
send the job to the selected attached parallel device.
The cycle goes from Port A, B, C, D, then A again.
4.2 Manual Mode
The Autoswitch has a Select button for manual port
selection (Device or Computer). When the Autoswitch
is first powered on, it’s in Auto-Link Mode. After you
press the Computer button, it will be in Manual Mode.
Pressing the Computer button again will put the
Autoswitch back in Auto-Link Mode.
4.3 Reset Mode
Sometimes the Autoswitch might lose synchronization
between the computers and parallel devices. Your
Autoswitch might have lost synchronization if you
notice any of these problems:
• The Computer Input Port LEDs are not flashing
alternately.
• None of the computers can access the attached
devices.
