Chapter 3: RS-232 Connection
3.2 Auto Mode
Auto Mode 1 (priority mode): VGA->DP->HDMI1->HDMI2
1. When you power on the switcher, it defaults to the VGA channel if no source is
active or connected. If some sources are already connected and then you power on
the switcher, it will detect their priority and auto switch to the active source with the
highest priority.
2. When you connect a new source after power on, the switcher might automatically
switch, depending on the priority. It will auto-switch to the new source if that source
has higher priority than currently selected source, otherwise, it will not auto-switch.
3. When the currently selected source is removed, the switcher might auto-switch,
depending on the status of other sources connected and their priority. It will auto
switch to the source active with highest priority, or remain on the current input
channel if no source is active.
4. Manual switching is also valid in Priority Mode. Press the button on the front panel to
switch among active sources. You can manually switch via contact closures or API
commands, depending on the source status. The unit will switch if the source manu-
ally selected is active, otherwise , an LED indicator will flash twice to indicate that a
source is not active and does not switch the source.
Auto Mode 2 (Last Connected):
1. When you power on the switcher, the VGA channel remains the default if no source
is active or connected. If some sources are already connected and then you power on
the switcher, it will detect their priority and auto switch to the active source with the
highest priority.
2. When you connect a new source after power on, the switcher will detect and auto-
switch to this source.
3. When you remove a currently selected source, the switcher might automatically
connect to a source, depending on the status of other sources connected and
their priority. It will auto switch to the source active with highest priority, or remain
connected to the current input channel if no source is active.
4. Manual switching is also valid in Priority Mode. Press the front-panel button on the
front panel to switch among active sources. You can manually switch between
sources via contact closures or API commands depending on the source status. It will
switch if the source manually selected is active, otherwise, the LED indicator will
flassh twice to indicate the source is not active and does not switch.
