Hardware Installation

Make sure all computers, devices, printers and other components are

powered off.

First, you must determine your setup mode:

Four PCs sharing one device One PC using four devices

This is "4 to 1" mode. This is "1 to 4" mode.

You must then set DIP switch #1 according to your mode. Refer to the

previous page for more info.

• For “4 to 1” mode, DIP switch #1 is set to OFF

• For “1 to 4” mode, DIP switch #1 is set to ON

Set DIP switches 2 and 3 to your preference. See previous page.

Next, connect the computer(s), the device(s) and the Bitronics AutoSwitch

together using the proper cables. From a computer to the AutoSwitch, use an

IEEE DB25 M/M cable, such as the one included in the package. For

connecting a printer to the AutoSwitch, use an IEEE printer cable, such as

Belkin Part# F2A046-XX, where XX is the length in feet.

Setting up your Parallel Port – ECP/EPP Mode

Make sure that the printer port on your computer is set to ECP mode. To do

this, you must go into your computer’s BIOS or CMOS setup. Instructions on

how to do this differ from one computer to the next. Please consult your

computer manufacturer’s manual, tech support, or website for

information regarding how to do this. Please do not call Belkin Tech

Support regarding this because each computer’s BIOS setup routine is

different. Refer to the Appendices at the end of this manual for

information on several models of computers.

The BIOS setup routine prompt is displayed a few seconds after you turn on

your computer and hear its first beeps. Again, this varies from PC to PC.

Please consult the Appendices and/or your computer manufacturer’s

manual or their tech support for information on how to do this properly.

Usually you will see a message that reads Press DEL to enter setup or Press F2

to enter setup. When in the setup program, there maybe a selection for

Integrated Peripherals, or Peripheral Setup. Then, look for Parallel Port Type or

LPT port type. Change that setting to say ECP or ECP/EPP. Save your settings

then exit. When Windows®restarts, it may find new hardware, and it may ask

you for the Windows®CD. Be prepared to provide this to the computer.
