In manual mode, you can select a port manually through the buttons on the

Bitronics switch. You can also use this mode in conjunction with software to

see your switch in action!

• Press COMPUTER to select which computer port you wish to configure or

monitor. For the computer connected to Port 1, press the COMPUTER

button until the LED on Port 1 is lit up either in red or green.

• Press the PRINTER button until the LED of the appropriate device port

you wish to use is lit up.

For example, if you want

computer 2 to use the

device on port B, press the

COMPUTER button until the

LED on "2" is lit up. Then,

press the PRINTER button

until LED "B" is lit up.

To use File Transfer mode, press the PRINTER button until the LED on the

computer port turns green. When the LED turns green, the port is ready for

file transfer mode. For file transfer mode to be successful for both PCs, both

computer ports must be set to file transfer mode – which is evident when the

LEDs next to 1 and 2 are green. For more information on File Transfer, please

see page 25.

Note: Computer 1 can only file transfer to computer 2, and computer

3 can file transfer to computer 4. If you change the ports

manually using the buttons, the changes made will not be

reflected in the software.
