INSTALLING YOUR SW1956CT 6
Step 1. Connect the ALTINEX power adapter that
is supplied with the unit to the power port.
CAUTION: The POWER port and the
INPUT SELECT port use the
same connector type. Make
sure the power adapter is
connected to the POWER
port.
Step 2. The POWER LED and the INPUT 2 LED
should turn on.
Step 3. Connect the SW1956CT inputs to the
outputs of the Twisted Pair transmitters.
Step 4. Connect a cable from the output port of
the SW1956CT to the input port of the
Twisted Pair receiver.
Step 5. If the remote control switch is to be used,
connect it to the INPUT SELECT port.
CAUTION: The POWER port and the
INPUT SELECT port use the
same connector type. Make
sure the control switch is
connected to the INPUT
SELECT port.
Step 6. Verify that the picture quality on the
display is good. If a signal is not being
received, make sure that the display is
compatible with the resolution of the
computer graphics card.
OPERATION 7
There are no settings to adjust on the SW1956CT
Auto-Switcher. The SW1956CT
will operate
successfully as long as cables are attached
properly and other technical specifications are
followed.
AUTO-SWITCH MODE
The SW1956CT automatically selects the INPUT 2
port if there are no active signals present. If there is
an active signal on INPUT 2 and not on INPUT 1,
then the SW1956CT will maintain INPUT 2 as the
active port. However, when an active signal is
applied to INPUT 1, the SW1956CT will switch to
INPUT 1.
If there are active signals on INPUT 1 and
INPUT 2, the SW1956CT will automatically switch
to INPUT 1.
MANUAL SWITCH MODE
Manual override is accomplished via a contact
closure on the INPUT SELECT jack. Manual Switch
Mode disables auto-switching.
Included with the SW1956CT is an external manual
switch with a 6 ft cable. This switch may be used
for manual control, or the contact closure may be
made from a control system. This port uses a
2.5 mm mini-coaxial remote-control jack and it is
located next to the Twisted Pair output.
INPUT 1 will be selected when the remote control
switch is connected to the INPUT SELECT jack and
the contact is closed. INPUT 2 will be selected if
the contact is open.
CAUTION: The connector used for the INPUT
SELECT port is the same type as is
used for the POWER connector. Use
caution to ensure the switch is
connected to the correct port.
