Product Overview

Feature Overview

The SwitchView and SwitchView DT allow you to con-

trol multiple PCs, easily and affordably, with just one

keyboard, monitor and mouse. There is no software to

install or boards to configure, so installation is simple.

SwitchView works with IBM PC/AT and PS/2 systems

with support for VGA and SVGA video. PS/2 keyboard

and PS/2 mouse peripherals are supported through the

rear of the unit.

When you turn on your PCs, the SwitchView will boot

up each one without interruption by sending out the

proper signal to eliminate keyboard errors. PCs may be

powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. The first avail-

able channel is automatically selected upon power-up.

You can switch computer channels two ways: via the

Select button on the SwitchView front panel, or through a

short keyboard sequence if the SwitchView is out of reach.

The SwitchView supports the following additional features:

• PS/2 mouse translation - your PS/2 mouse will

work with any attached PC, regardless of whether

the computer is serial or PS/2 mouse compatible!

• Extensive Mouse Support - The SwitchView

offers full support for the Logitech MouseMan

Wheel, Logitech Trackman Marble Wheel, Logitech

Trackman Marble FX, Microsoft Explorer mouse and

the Microsoft IntelliMouse family.

• Standard cables - use either Avocent-supplied or

standard straight-through cables to attach comput-

ers to the SwitchView unit.

• Built-in scanning feature - scan through all of

your attached PCs automatically. Scan every PC for

2 to 60 seconds each.

Basic Install

Before you install

In order to connect your PCs to the SwitchView, you will

need the appropriate connecting cables. We recommend

these Avocent cable kits:

For PS/2 PSs: CPS2-6A For AT/serial PCs: CSER-6A

The SwitchView also accepts standard straight-through

cables for these connections.

Connecting your peripherals

1. Your VGA monitor, keyboard and mouse connect to

the SwitchView unit instead of your computer. Plug

your PS/2 keyboard cable into the purple port

on the back of your unit in the User Console section.

Plug your PS/2 mouse cable into the green port

and your VGA video cable into the blue port.

SwitchView User Manual

Basic Operations

PCs may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once.

The green LEDs over each channel will light, indicating

that the attached computer is powered on. After

power-up, a lit amber LED indicates the selected com-

puter. Other PCs may now be selected for operation.

Selecting a PC

There are two ways to select a PC. One way is via

the Select push-button. This selects the next computer

in sequence. Holding the push-button down will enable

scanning of all available channels until the button is

released. The second way is by entering a short sequence

of keystrokes on the keyboard. This is called keyboard, or

hot-key, switching.

Press the Control key twice within one second to place

your SwitchView in Command Mode. Your keyboard

LEDs will flash to verify that you are operating in Com-

mand Mode. Now, whatever you type will be interpreted as

SwitchView system commands until Enter is pressed to

accept the command or Escape is pressed to cancel.

In Command Mode, type the letter for the PC you wish

to select. Press Enter to accept the new address (Addr).

See below.

Key Sequence Action

1. <CTRL><CTRL>B<Enter> Selects Channel B.

2. <CTRL><CTRL>C<Enter> Selects Channel C.

EXAMPLE

Key Sequence Action

<CTRL><CTRL>Addr<Enter> Selects an active channel via keyboard.

Connecting your Computers

2. Power down all computers that will be part of your

SwitchView system.

3. Locate the appropriate cable kit to attach your first

computer to the SwitchView. Now, plug the key-

board cable from the kit into the purple con-

nector of any available port on your SwitchView.

Ports are labeled A-B on the 2-Port and A-D on

the 4-Port.

Next, plug your mouse cable into the green con-

nector of the same port.

Plug the video cable into the blue monitor connector.

Plug the remaining cable ends into the matching

ports on your computer. For serial computers,

use only Avocent provided adaptors. Tighten all

thumbscrews.

4. Repeat step 3 for each additional computer to be

attached and then power-up all attached computers.

Basic Operations

PCs may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once.

The green LEDs over each channel will light, indicating

that the attached computer is powered on. After

SwitchView User Manual

Scanning PCs

The scanning feature allows you to automatically moni-

tor, or scan, each PC in your SwitchView system. If you

use the keyboard during scanning, the scan will pause

until you finish, then resume with the next PC. The

length of time each PC’s video remains on the screen, or

dwell time, can be changed at any time. Scanning will

be halted if the Halt command is entered or if another

PC is selected.

The following key sequences control scanning:

If you would like mouse and keyboard activity to sus-

pend scanning, see the commands below.

Key Sequence Action

<CTRL><CTRL>Dnn<Enter> Congures the dwell time. Substitute nn

with a value from 2 to 60 seconds. The

default value is 5 seconds.

<CTRL><CTRL>SG<Enter> Enables the scan Go command.

<CTRL><CTRL>SH<Enter> Enables the scan Halt command.

Key Sequence Action

<CTRL><CTRL>M+<Enter> Mouse will suspend scanning.

<CTRL><CTRL>M-<Enter> Mouse will not suspend scanning. (default)

EXAMPLE

Key Sequence Action

1. <CTRL><CTRL>D10<Enter> Each PC’s video will remain on the

screen for 10 seconds before the

next channel is displayed.

2. <CTRL><CTRL>SG<Enter> Scanning begins with the current

computer, then continues to the

next PC in sequence.

3. <CTRL><CTRL>SH<Enter> Scanning is halted until the Go

command is issued again.

Unit

Green channel LED not lit

Verify that the computer is powered on. Check the

cabling between your computer and the SwitchView.

your PC. If the connection is to a laptop mouse, the

green LED will not light but the port can still be selected.

Unable to switch channels

Verify that all attached PCs are powered and correctly

connected to the unit.

Unable to hot-key

After a power loss, the unit will default to the <CTRL>

<CTRL> key sequence. Try using <CTRL> <CTRL> to hot-

key switch.

Video

No video

Verify that the video cable between the computer and

the SwitchView is connected to the selected port. Verify

that the monitor cable is correctly connected to the

SwitchView.

Power down the computer. Connect the monitor directly

to the computer and power up again. If the monitor does

not operate correctly direct to the computer, try another

monitor.

Verify that the cables from the computer to the Switch-

View are connected properly.

Troubleshooting

SwitchView User Manual
