Switching Modes
The S2MBW-120 has four switching modes available to help customize a unique solution to your specific
needs. The switching modes on the S2MBW-120 can be setup and changed by connecting to the RS-232
port with the correct RS-232 command string.
1. Manual Mode:
In this mode the S2MBW-120 will not auto-switch at all. Even if the currently active input is
disconnected, the S2MBW-120 will not switch. The only way to initiate a switch is by using the button on the
front interface, RS232 commands, or by Contact closure button.
2. Auto Mode:
(Default) In this mode the S2MBW-120 will switch automatically to any new source, So when-
ever a new input is connected, the S2MBW-120 will auto-switch to that input. If the active input is discon-
nected, the S2MBW-120 will switch to another active input. The front interface button and RS232 switching
commands can also still be used in this mode for manual override.
3. Hybrid Mode:
In this mode the S2MBW-120 will switch to the first connected source automatically, but
after that, will only switch when it is told to switch or if the source is disconnected.
4. Priority Mode:
In this mode the S2MBW-120 will always switch to the input that has a lower priority
number once it is connected. The S2MBW-120 can still be manually switched to the other input if needed. By
default, the HDMI input has a priority of 1 whereas the VGA input has a priority of 2.
