Overview

SwitchMan is the desktop KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch for those

who run more than one computer at a desk. By having only one keyboard,

monitor, and mouse, you reclaim your desktop while saving time and

money. SwitchMan uses the same bulletproof design as Raritan's

professional-grade products and is available in two-channel and four-

channel models.

Raritan's unique keyboard and mouse emulation technology dedicates

individual processors to each channel. Every computer continuously "sees"

its own keyboard and mouse to ensure flawless booting and switching. You

can select computers by touching individual channel buttons on the front

panel or by using simple hot-key commands.

SwitchMan's versatile design gives you the choice of either a horizontal or

a space-saving vertical installation. Standard features like Scan and LED

indicators make operation of SwitchMan simple and convenient. Connect

your computers to SwitchMan by using industry standard KVM cables. For

the highest resolution video, use Raritan's premium tangle-proof cables.

Plug your standard PS/2 keyboard, VGA monitor, and PS/2 mouse right

into SwitchMan.

Installation Procedures

Begin installation by connecting one computer to SwitchMan. Once the first

computer is operational, then connect additional computers.

SwitchMan can use industry standard keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM)

cables or can use Raritan's premium, tangle-proof KVM cables.

Caution: Make sure that each computer is powered OFF before it is

connected to SwitchMan.

1. Connect your keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the back panel of

SwitchMan. Use the black section marked USER PORTS for these

connections.

2. Using either end of the KVM cables, connect the keyboard, monitor, and

mouse connectors to the section marked PC 1 on the SwitchMan back

panel. (See figure 2 for SW2 or figure 3 for SW4)

Note: With Raritan's tangle-proof KVM cables, each connector is

marked with a symbol-keyboard, monitor, mouse-for

ease of connection

3. Plug the other ends of the KVM cable into the corresponding ports on

the first computer

4. Power ON the computer. The LED above the channel selection button

for the powered computer illuminates.

5. The video from the connected computer is displayed on the monitor. The

keyboard and mouse operate as if they were connected directly to the

computer.

Note: SwitchMan is automatically powered ON when at least one

connected computer is powered ON.

6. After the first computer is working, connect the remaining computers to

SwitchMan. Make sure each computer is powered OFF before it is

connected to SwitchMan.

Installation Notes

∗Switchman computer ports are PS/2 style. You may also connect AT-

style computers. Use Raritan keyboard/mouse port adapter “APSAT” on

PS/2 cables to plug into a computer with “AT” keyboard port and serial

mouse port.

∗Switchman converts keyboard and mouse signals to PS/2 and requires

either a PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard or an AT Extended keyboard

with

adapter.

Operation

You can select a computer from the front panel of SwitchMan or through

the keyboard in hot-key mode. The LEDs on the front panel of SwitchMan

indicate which computer, or channel, is currently selected and ready for

use

SwitchMan automatically senses which channels are active-that is, those

that have computers that are connected and powered ON. In Scan mode,

SwitchMan cycles through these active channels. The video is displayed,

and the keyboard and mouse are active for each successive computer.

Front Panel

Select channels

To select a computer from the front panel, simply press the button

corresponding to the desired channel. The LED above the channel

illuminates and the video from that connected computer is displayed. The

keyboard and mouse become active for that computer.

The monitor will remain blank if you choose an inactive channel.

Scan channels

Scan is a feature that automatically steps through each active channel.

When Scan is active, SwitchMan allows you to view the video of each

active channel for a set interval (scan rate). SwitchMan then cycles to the

next active channel. The default scan rate is three seconds. You can set

the scan rate from the front panel or in hot-key mode

To activate Scan, press the scan button on the SwitchMan front panel.

To exit Scan, press the scan button (toggle ON/OFF) again.

Note: SwitchMan automatically skips inactive channels in Scan mode.

Set Scan rate

The scan rate can be changed through front panel buttons to preset

intervals. Press the scan button followed by the channel selection button

that corresponds to the desired scan rate (see chart below). The light

above the button blinks twice to acknowledge the setting, and scanning

continues at the new rate.

Channel 1 = 1 second

Channel 2 = 3 seconds

Channel 3 = 8 seconds

Channel 4 = 16 seconds

To exit Scan, press the scan button (toggle ON/OFF).

Hot-Key Mode

When you activate hot-key mode, SwitchMan captures and interprets

keystrokes as front panel functions. No keystrokes pass through to the

computer(s).

Note: Hot-key mode operation requires a PS/2-style or an Extended AT-

style keyboard.

Hot-key activation

To enter hot-key mode, press <Scroll Lock> twice rapidly. SwitchMan

enters hot-key mode, and the three keyboard LEDs-Num Lock, Caps Lock

and Scroll Lock-blink continuously. To exit hot-key mode, press the <Esc>

key.

Select a computer channel by number

You can select channels by using hot-key mode. The LED on the front

panel above the corresponding computer is turned ON.

1. Activate hot-key mode.

2. Press the <c> key.

3. Press number key corresponding to the computer.

4. Press <Enter>.

For example, to select channel two, enter hot-key mode and then press

<c> <2> <Enter>.

Select a computer channel by using arrow keys

In hot-key mode, you can step through the channels. Press the <á> or <à>

arrow to increment and press the <ß> or <â> arrow keys to decrement the

channel numbers.
