Chapter 2: Introduction
2.0 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch 4site II from Black Box. This product provides state-of-the-art technology in keyboard-
video-mouse (KVM) switching. Its key advantage over conventional KVM switches is that it allows you to simultaneously display
and administer four computers on a single console. It combines key features of a high-end KVM switch and a digital multiviewer,
scaling and converting videos at both inputs and output.
2.1 Display Modes
Quad Mode: The screen is split into four fields of equal size, each displaying the entire screen contents of one source.
Figure 2-1. Quad mode.
Full-Screen Mode: One of the four sources is displayed in full-screen size and maximum resolution.
Figure 2-2. Full-Screen mode.

724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
PiP (Picture-in-Picture) Mode: The full-screen display of one of the four video sources is accompanied by one to three small
images (thumbnails) of the other video sources displayed on the right hand side of the screen, allowing simultaneous monitoring.
All PiP display modes are described in Section 4.5, OSD Mode, Picture in Picture.
Figure 2-3. PiP Mode
Dual Mode: The left halves of full-screen images from two video sources are displayed side by side at full size and at full vertical
resolution.

2.2 Features
DVI & VGA
The ServSwitch 4site II supports resolutions of up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz for both DVI and VGA. Any combination of VGA
and DVI at all standard resolutions is possible at the inputs and output. Analog video input is converted to digital. If an analog
display is connected, the ServSwitch 4site II converts the digital signal to analog at the output. Internally, the ServSwitch 4site II
processes video purely digitally, guaranteeing the best digital image quality.
USB and PS/2 for keyboard/mouse/touchscreen/trackball
Use either PS/2 or USB ports on the computer to connect the keyboard and mouse to the ServSwitch 4site II. It supports any
combination. To connect the console, the switch features two USB ports for mice, keyboard, touchscreens, or trackballs.
Transparent USB 2.0
The ServSwitch 4site II features a transparent high-speed USB 2.0 matrix: USB 2.0 devices (e.g. printer, external memory,
memory stick, webcam, 3D mouse, finger printer) can be switched to connected computers.
Operation
There are six ways to operate the ServSwitch 4site II, switch channels, and select display modes:
1. Using the buttons on the front of the unit
2. Using configurable hotkeys
3. Using the unit’s external configuration program on a remote computer
4. Via a serial port using the protocol DCP XML
5. Using mouse functions (Hotmouse)
6. Using a touchscreen
Configure the ServSwitch 4site II through the on-screen display (OSD) navigating either with keyboard commands or front-
panel buttons or remotely via ConfDev on an external PC.
The LEDs on the front panel indicate the unit’s current status.
Use the serial (RS-232) port for remote control and firmware updates.
Configure the serial port with the following settings:
Speed: 57600 bps
Data Bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: none

2.4 Front and Rear Panels
Front Panel
The ServSwitch 4site II front panel has seven status indicators (LEDs) and seven buttons. Buttons 1 to 4 switch between channels,
and LEDs 1 to 4 indicate the status of the individual channels. Full, Quad and PiP buttons and LEDs are used to switch and
indicate display modes and other functions, e.g. open the OSD menu, etc.
Figure 2-5. Front panel.
Indicator Lights
Figure 2-6. Indicator lights.
LEDs 1 to 4: When these LEDs light steady green, the corresponding channel (computer port) has been selected and is available
for keyboard and mouse access. When an LED flashes green, there is no signal at the video input of the selected channel.
An LED lights yellow when there is a signal at the video input, but another channel has been selected. When the LED is dark,
there is no signal at the video input and another channel has been selected.
Full: This LED lights green when the Full-Screen mode is selected.
Quad: When this LED lights green, the unit is in Quad mode.

Power: This is the plug for the enclosed power cable.
Reset: Press this button, using a suitable pointed object (e.g. ballpoint pen), to completely reset the ServSwitch 4site II .
NOTE: Because of the “keep alive” function of keyboard and mouse, turning power off/on resets only the video circuit. If you
experience problems with the mouse or keyboard, we recommend executing a complete RESET by either pressing the RESET but-
ton on the rear panel or by simultaneously pressing Buttons 3 and 4 on the front panel for longer than four seconds (see 2.4,
Front and Rear Panels: Hardware Reset).
Monitor/DVI-I output: Connect your analog or digital display to this DVI-I port
DVI-I inputs: Connect the analog or digital video signal for up to four sources to these four DVI-I ports.
RS-232/RJ-45 port: Connect external serial control devices to this RJ-45 port to operate the unit remotely. Connect to this port
to access the OSD menu from a computer using the ConfDev device configuration tool (see Section A.2, ConfdevEn.exe Program).
The serial RS-232 port is also used for firmware updates (see Updating the Firmware in Section A.2).
USB for keyboard, mouse, touchpad, or trackball (console): Two USB ports enable you to connect keyboard, mouse, touch
screen, or trackball. Using a USB Hub, you can use multiple keyboards and mice. They will work in Share mode with an inactivity
timeout of three seconds.
USB or PS2 keyboard and mouse (computer): Each computer source can be connected with PS/2 or USB for keyboard and
mouse.
Four transparent high-speed USB 2.0 ports: Connect USB devices (printer, memory stick, finger printer, 3D mouse) to the four
transparent USB ports. The transparent USB 2.0 matrix switches USB 2.0 peripherals to computer sources connected to the
ServSwitch 4site II.

3.0 Installation
The ServSwitch 4site II is best located as close as possible to the sources/computers to reduce the length of cables.
By default, the ServSwitch 4site II is delivered as a desktop chassis. Using the supplied rackmount kit, it may also be mounted
in a 19” rack.
Connect keyboard, monitor, mouse (console) and USB devices using the corresponding cables (DVI, USB, or PS/2).
KVM extenders enable you to work remotely via a CAT5, a fiber optic, or an Ethernet connection.
Figure 3-1. Locate the unit as close as possible to computers to reduce the length of cables needed.
Connecting the unit to power
Plug the power cable into the power plug located on the rear panel of the ServSwitch 4site II, but do not turn on power yet.
Connecting the console (monitor, keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, trackball mouse)
Connect your monitor to the monitor port of the ServSwitch 4site II via VGA-DVI cable (analog) or DVI cable (digital) up to
5 meters. For greater distances, use a DVI or VGA extender.
Connect your USB mouse and keyboard to the USB Type A ports on the console up to 5 meters. For greater distances, use a KVM
or USB extender.
The PS/2 mouse and keyboard can be connected to the ServSwitch 4site II using a PS/2-USB adapter.
Connect your touchscreen to the DVI-I port and the USB Type A port (see Section 4.6, OSD Configuration Menu, Touchscreen
Calibration).

4.3 Navigation
Navigation Using the Buttons on the Front Panel
Figure 4-4. Navigation using the buttons on the front panel
Navigation using the buttons on the front panel is analogous to using the console keyboard. Buttons 1 and 2 correspond to the
UP and DOWN arrow keys and Buttons 3 and 4 correspond to the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys or the +/- keys. Confirm your entry
by pressing the PIP/Select button.
Press the Quad/Exit button to return to the previous page (higher menu level) or exit the OSD. Changed settings are saved
automatically.
