XSWITCH Installation and Operation Manual

Section 3 — Connections and Switching Functions

Switched Keyboard and Mouse Connections

Each of the four connector groups (STUDIO A, STUDIO B, S.V.A, S.V.B)
includes switching connections for one mouse and one keyboard. These are
the 5-pin DIN connectors along the bottom of the panel, see

Figure 9 on

page 20

. The keyboard I/O connectors are labeled K and the mouse I/O

connectors are labeled M. The upper row are inputs and the lower row are
outputs.

KVM Module Connections

Keyboard and mouse switching events are concurrent with associated
VGA switching. The keyboard and mouse switching circuitry employs
both passive and active elements. However, these circuits may pass signals
even while power is not applied to the XSWITCH.

Expansion Card Connections

A single cable is used to make the required connections between the Main
Frame and the Expansion Frame. Connections between first and second
Expansion Frame and between second and third Expansion Frame are
made using an identical cable. This cable is available from Grass Valley. The
cable for the first Expansion Frame plugs into the 50-pin high density con-
nector at the right hand end of the KVM Module, labeled EXPANSION. The
other end plugs into the same type connector located on the Expansion
Card in the Expansion Frame labeled EXPANSION, see

Figure 9 on

. Also, be sure the Address Card jumper is set for Address 1

(

).
