THE SERVSWITCH™ FAMILY

Welcome to the ServSwitchTM Family!

Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX®ServSwitch™Brand KVM switch! We

appreciate your business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your

new ServSwitch keyboard/video/mouse switch will save you money, time, and

effort.

That’s because our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the

traditional, expensive model of computer management. You know, the one-size-

fits-all-even-if-it-doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one user station, no

more, no less.” Why not a single user station (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for

multiple computers—even computers of different platforms? Why not a pair of

user stations, each of which can control multiple computers? Why not multiple

user stations for the same computer?

With our ServSwitch products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line

of robust solutions for all these applications. Do you have just two PCs, and need

an economical alternative to keeping two monitors, keyboards, and mice on your

desk? Or do you need to share dozens of computers, including a mix of IBM®PC,

RS/6000®, Apple®Macintosh®, Sun Microsystems®, and SGI®compatibles among

multiple users with different access levels? Does your switch have to sit solidly on a

worktable and use regular everyday cables? Or does it have to be mounted in an

equipment rack and use convenient many-to-one cables? No matter how large or

small your setup is, no matter how simple or how complex, we’re confident we

have a ServSwitch system that’s just right for you.

The ServSwitch™family from Black Box—the one-stop answer for all your KVM-

switching needs!

This manual will tell you all about your new ServSwitch™ Brand 8 x 2 Matrix

Video Switch, including how to install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an

introduction to the Switch, see Chapter 2. The Switch product code covered in this

CHAPTER 2: Introduction

2. Introduction

The ServSwitch™ Brand 8 x 2 Matrix Video Switch is an ideal tool for sharing

and/or switching between the output of as many as eight video sources (such as

PCs), in order to display or capture that output at two video destinations (such as

monitors). Once you attach all your devices, you can hook the Switch to the

included keypad for full manual switching control.

The Switch’s features include:

• With its large bandwidth, it can handle even very high resolutions and refresh

rates, up to 1600 x 1280 pixels at up to 85 Hz.

• It can switch the single video output of as many as eight devices and send it to

both monitors simultaneously, or it can switch the dual video output of as

many as four devices, sending one head’s signal to one monitor and the other

head’s signal to the other monitor.

• It includes two serial keypads, so it’s ready to do manual switching almost right

out of the box (you do have to attach the keypad to the Switch first). Or you

can attach one or both of the Switch’s keypad ports to a PC’s serial ports or to

some other serial device and perform switching and monitoring with serial

commands.

• Because it has a universal power supply, you can plug it in almost anywhere if

you have the right input cord. (And it’s small and light enough to take almost

anywhere!)

• It’s primarily designed to carry VGA/SVGA video, but it can handle separate

horizontal and vertical sync, composite sync, and sync on green, so with the

right kinds of cables or adapters it can accept all sorts of video from all sorts of

devices.

• All of its input and output signals are buffered, so you’ll get the sharpest

possible images.

• It can drive video signals as far as 300 ft. (90 m) end-to-end, so it’s ideal for use

in auditoriums, conference halls, and similar spaces.

• Its front-panel LEDs show you right away which video inputs are going to

which outputs.

• To top it off, it can be operated by pressing a single keypad button, so anybody

can use it without having to be extensively trained.
