MATRIX SWITCH

2.  Introduction

The Matrix Switch enables up to eight microcomputers to share four

peripheral devices. The switch is compatible with all leading brands of

microcomputers and all leading brands of serial and parallel peripherals. A

sense-touch control panel provides instant line configuration. The Switch

supports multiple leads.

Eight models are available:

• 4 x 4 Matrix Switch, Serial, 115 VAC, part number SW441A-R2
• 4 x 4 Matrix Switch, Serial, 230 VAC, part number SW441AE-R2
• 4 x 4 Matrix Switch, Parallel, 115 VAC, part number SW442A-R2
• 4 x 4 Matrix Switch, Parallel, 230 VAC, part number SW442AE-R2
• 4 x 8 Matrix Switch, Serial, 115 VAC, part number SW444A-R2
• 4 x 8 Matrix Switch, Serial, 230 VAC, part number SW444AE-R2
