Connecting the Switcher 

 

6.2  Setting the Dipswitches 

The dipswitches (see Table  ) on the rear panel should be set when the 

switcher is operated via the RS-232 or RS-485/422 connector, or when it is 

interconnected with other switchers. These switches allow proper 

configuration of the control signals received and transmitted through the 

RS-232 control port. The switcher allows master/slave configurations. This 

allows switchers that are interconnected to operate independently, or in 

conjunction with each other.

Note: The Slave "Reply" settings are all ON or all OFF, depending on the 

requirements of the system. The Master "Reply" setting is always ON. 

6.3  Jumpers, their Uses and Set-up Requirements 

The switcher has additional adjustments and settings. These include the 

internal jumpers. 

WARNING! 

 Mains voltage is accessible inside the switcher, so always turn off the switcher 

and remove its power cable from the mains socket before removing its cover. 

The jumpers’ functional operation is described below: 

Each switcher input has its own internal jumpers, numbered from J22 to 

J27 and they are factory located in the position that provides a 75ohm 

input termination. If the 75ohm termination is not required, the jumper 

must be relocated to its alternate position (floating on the pin remote 

from the input socket and not connected in any circuit). The particular 

input is now "High-Z" (not 75ohm terminated) and may be used for 

looping
