5 Single-Head Units: 1. Ensure that power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computers. 2. Use a DVI cable to connect the DVI output port from each computer to the corresponding DVI-I IN ports of the unit. 3. Optionally connect a stereo audio cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm) to connect the audio output of the computers to the AUDIO IN ports of the unit. 4. Connect a monitor to the DVI-I OUT console port of the unit using a DVI cable. 5. Optionally connect stereo speakers to the AUDIO OUT port of the unit. 6.

6 Installation (continued) EDID Learn: The switch is designed to learn the connected monitor’s EDID upon power up. In the event of connecting a new monitor to the switch, a power recycle is required. The switch will indicate to the user the EDID learn process by flashing the front panel’s LEDs. Port one green will begin to flash for about 10 seconds. When the LEDs stop flashing, the EDID learn process is done. The monitor must be connected to the video output connector located in the console space at the back of the switch during the EDID learn process. If the read EDID from the connected monitor is identical to the current stored EDID in the switch then the EDID learn function will be skipped. When learning the EDID, the audio will be disable until executing the channel switch or audio switch commands via RS-232 or Front Panel. Rebooting power to the switch will also restore the audio.

7 System operation There are two ways to control the DV-SW8-P: RS-232 Serial Commands, and Front Panel Buttons. All modes of control will allow the user the set their desired configurations. front panel control To switch to an input port, simply push the desired input button on the front-panel of the switch. If an input port is selected, the LED of that port will turn on. There are 8 buttons on the front panel of the device, depending on the model. There will be an added EDID Learn function that can be triggered from the Front Panel, this will be triggered as follows: Hold down the First and Last button of Front Panel for 3 seconds to force Learn EDID. rs232 serial control The DV-SW8-P may also be controlled via RS-232 commands. To use these commands, you must use HyperTerminal or an alternate terminal application.
