THE SERVSWITCH™FAMILY

Welcome to the ServSwitchTM Family!

Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX®ServSwitch™Brand video switch! We

appreciate your business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your

new video switch will save you money, time, and effort.

Our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the traditional, expensive

model of computer management and display. You know, the one-size-fits-all-even-if-

it-doesn’t model that says, “One dedicated computer gets one dedicated monitor

or user station, no more, no less.” Why not a single user station (monitor,

keyboard, and mouse) for multiple computers—even computers of different

platforms? Why not a pair of user stations, each of which can control multiple

computers? Why not many monitors or user stations for the same computer?

Why not display or access any of your computers, anywhere in the world, with

any of your monitors or user stations?

With our ServSwitch products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line

of robust solutions for all these applications.

• Do you have just two PCs, and need an economical alternative to keeping two

monitors, keyboards, and mice on your desk? Or do you need to share dozens

of computers, including a mix of IBM®PC, RS/6000®, Apple®Macintosh®, Sun

Microsystems®, and SGI®compatibles among multiple users with different

access levels?

•

Do you have to send video from one computer to two different local monitors?

Or do you

need to send video from multiple computers to dozens of monitors

both near and far?

• Does your switch have to sit solidly on a worktable and use regular everyday

cables? Or

does it have to be mounted in an equipment rack and use

convenient many-to-one cables?

No matter how large or small your setup is, no matter how simple or how

complex, we’re confident we have a ServSwitch system that’s just right for you.

The ServSwitch™family from Black Box—the one-stop answer for all your

KVM-switching needs!

This manual will tell you all about your new ServSwitch™ Brand Matrix Video

Switch, including how to install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction

to the Switch, see Chapter 2. The Matrix Video Switch product code covered in this

manual is:

CHAPTER 2: Introduction

2. Introduction

The ServSwitch™Brand Matrix Video Switch is an ideal tool for sharing and/or

switching between the output of as many as four video sources (such as PCs), in

order to display or capture that output at up to four video destinations (such as

monitors).Once you attach all your devices, you can hook the Switch to the

included keypad for manual control, or to a PC for software-controlled sensing

and switching.

The Switch’s features include:

• With its large bandwidth, it can handle even very high resolutions and refresh

rates, up to 1600 x 1280 pixels at up to 85 Hz.

• It includes a serial keypad, so it’s ready to do manual switching almost right

out of the box (you do have to attach the keypad to the Switch first).

• Because it has a universal power supply, you can plug it in almost anywhere if

you have the right input cord. (And it is small and light enough to take almost

anywhere!)

• It’s primarily designed to carry VGA/SVGA video, but it can handle separate

horizontal and vertical sync, composite sync, and sync on green, so with the

right kinds of cables or adapters it can accept all sorts of video from all sorts

of devices.

• All of its input and output signals are buffered, so you’ll get the sharpest

possible images.

• It can drive video signals as far as 150 ft. (45 m) end-to-end, so it’s ideal for use

in auditoriums, conference halls, and similar spaces.

• You can use it in many types of remote or automated systems, because it can be

controlled from most RS-232 source devices.

• Each of its outputs can be blanked, so you don’t have to worry about people

seeing things you don’t want them to.

• Its front-panel LEDs show you right away which video inputs are going to

which outputs.

• To top it off, it can be operated by pressing a couple of buttons, so anybody

can use it without having to be extensively trained.

SERVSWITCH™BRAND MATRIX VIDEO SWITCH

3. Installation

To set up your ServSwitch™Brand Matrix Video Switch system, take these steps:

1. Making sure that the Switch is powered off, find its input ports. (These are

the top row of HD15 connectors on its rear panel, shown in Figure 3-1,

labeled “CPU 1” through “CPU 4”.) Run cabling from these ports to the

video-output ports of the PC CPUs or other devices that will be providing the

Switch’s video input.

If all of these input devices are transmitting VGA/SVGA/XGA-type

video signals on HD15 female connectors, you can use standard VGA video-

extension cables such as our product code EVNPS05-MM. Keep in mind that

the length of any of these cables plus the length of any of your monitor/

output cables (see step 2) should not be more more than 150 ft. (45 m).

If any of your input devices transmit some other type of video signal

and/or use some other type of video connector, you might need special

cables or adapters; call Black Box Technical Support.

Figure 3-1. The Switch’s rear-panel connectors.

2. The Switch’s output ports are the bottom row of HD15 female connectors

labeled with numbered monitor icons. If all of your output devices are

standard VGA or multisync monitors with HD15 male connectors on their

video cables, you can plug them directly into these ports (if they’ll be placed

nearby) or run video-extension cables to them such as our product code

EVNPS05-MF (if they’ll be some distance away). Keep in mind that the length

of any of these cables plus the length of any of your CPU/input cables (see

step 1) should not be more more than 150 ft. (45 m).

If any of your output devices are designed to receive a non-VGA video

signal and/or use a different type of video connector, you might need special

cables or adapters; call Black Box Technical Support.
