OPERATION
1. Power Up Sequence:
There is no power supply supplied with the switch. The switch derives its power when either one of the four PC’s that are
connected to the switch are powered up. A Power Jack marked “+5VDC IN” on the back panel of the Switch is provided in
case an external power supply is needed. A separate power source may be required if the keyboard and PS/2 mouse
being used draws more current than can be provided from a single PC source. If a separate power source is required we
recommend the VIP-210 an external wall plug-in supply, which maybe purchased from Vetra separately.
Note: Some of the new Internet keyboards on the market can draw as much as 500 ma of current. Also the new
Optical PS/2 mice may require as much as 100 ma to operate.
2. PC Selection:
a) Keyboard “Hot Key” Selection (available on all models): To select an active PC, first hold down the Scroll Lock Key,
then pressing and releasing the top row keyboard keys 1, 2, 3, or 4. The number keys must be released before the Scroll
Lock key. Switching takes place on the release of the Scroll Lock Key, which also rearms the keyboard selection
mechanism. When selection of any of the PC’s is completed, observe on the front panel of the switch that the appropriate
green "SEL" indicator is on.
