Quick Start Guide — SW USB Series
QS-1
Follow these steps to set up and start using the SW USB switcher:
Step 1
Mount the SW USB on a rack shelf or under furniture, if desired.
See “Mounting the SW USB Series Switcher”, in chapter 2,
“Installation”, for mounting procedures.
Step 2
Connect host device(s) to one or more SW USB input connectors,
using A to B type USB cable lengths of up to 15' (4.5 m).
Step 3
Connect one or more peripheral USB devices (such as a keyboard
and/or mouse) to the USB Output Hub ports, using USB cable
lengths of up to 15' (4.5 m).
If host emulation will be used (SW USB Plus only):
Attach a
standard keyboard and/or mouse to output port 3 and/or 4, and set
the appropriate DIP switch(es) to on. (See “Host Emulation [SW4
USB Plus only],” in chapter 3, “Operation.”)
Step 4
If desired, connect an RS-232 cable to the SW USB’s RS-232 port
and to a host computer or control system. (See “Wiring for RS-232
Communication,” in chapter 2, “Installation”.)
N
Your RS-232 computer or control system should not be one
of the host devices connected to any of the input ports. Use a
separate computer for RS-232 communication.
Step 5
If desired, connect an external Extron A/V switcher to the RS-232
Pass Thru port. This switcher can then be controlled via commands
sent through this port.
Step 6
If using RS-232 pass-through to control an A/V switcher, enter one
of the following SIS
™
(Simple Instruction Set) commands via your
RS-232 interface to select a loop mode for issuing commands. (See
“RS-232 Pass Thru port” in chapter 2, “Installation”.)

(Loop 1 mode [default]) — Lets you issue SIS
commands to the SW USB via an RS-232 interface and/or pass
them through to the A/V switcher.

to the SW USB via contact closure, the SW USB
front panel buttons, or the RS-232 interface, and to pass the
command through the RS-232 Pass Thru port to the A/V switcher.
