CHAPTER 2: Introduction

2. Introduction

Switching between data lines manually can often damage the connected

equipment, because this relatively slow and imprecise action can cause data-line

surges and spikes large enough to damage today’s sensitive circuitry. With the

Local/Remote Electronic Switches, you can eliminate this potential hazard. Their

electronic switching action provides surgeless, spikeless changeovers—something

a mechanical switch just can’t do.

In addition, these switches can be controlled remotely, from a convenient

out-of-sight location.

The stock models available are:

SW980A 115-VAC 2-to-1 Switch

SW980AE 230-VAC 2-to-1 Switch

SW981A 115-VAC “X” (2-to-2) Switch

SW981AE 230-VAC “X” (2-to-2) Switch

SW982A 115-VAC 4-to-1 Switch

SW982AE 230-VAC 4-to-1 Switch

These Switches can also be cascaded to allow a larger number of ports

to be switched.

3. Installation and Configuration

3.1 Before You Install

Check the box and its contents before you begin installing your Local/Remote

Electronic Switch. You should have received one Switch unit, one AC power supply,

and one copy of this manual. If you didn’t receive all of these items, or if they have

sustained damage that does not seem to be shipping-related, notify Black Box right

away. If they have sustained impact or water damage that seems to have happened

during shipping, notify both Black Box and the shipping carrier immediately.

Unpack the box carefully. We recommend that you save the original container

and its packing materials in case you need to ship the Switch later.

You’ll need to install the Switch within 6 feet (1.8 m) of an AC outlet. Also,

keep the Switch away from water and extreme temperatures.

Make sure you have the proper cables or adapters. Whatever interface you want

to switch (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, V.35, TTL, etc.), you must use either cables with

DB25 male connectors or adapters that convert the interface from your cables’

connectors to DB25 male connectors. To perform remote switching, you must use

an appropriate length of cable that has at least four wires. If you intend to connect

it to the Switch’s internal terminal block, this cable must be unterminated at the

Switch end. If you intend to connect it to the Switch’s “REMOTE” connector, this

cable must have wires pinned to Pins 3 through 6 of a male RJ-45 connector at the

Switch end. (If you must use existing cables that do not meet these requirements,

call Black Box Technical Support; we might be able to provide adapters or create

a special product for you.)

CHAPTER 3: Installation and Configuration

3.2 The Setup Procedure

Installing and configuring a Local/Remote Electronic Switch is relatively quick and

easy, and will vary only slightly depending on which model you’ve chosen. Follow

these steps:

(Steps 1 through 4 are for remotely switched applications only:)

1. Make sure that the Switch is unplugged (is not receiving AC power). Open

the Switch by unscrewing the two screws on the bottom of the unit (save these

screws) and removing the top of the unit’s housing. (You will probably have

to peel back the CE sticker on the bottom of the unit to get at one of the

screws.)

2. Find jumper W1 (for SW980 or SW981 units) or jumpers W2 and W3 (for

SW982 units) on the Switch’s circuit board. Refer to Figure 3-1 on the next

page if your unit is an SW980 model, to Figure 3-2 on page 11 if your unit is

an SW981 model, or to Figure 3-3 on page 12 if your unit is an SW982 model.

Set the jumper(s) as appropriate for your application:

• Set W1, or W2 and W3, to the A-B position for applications that use

dry-contact closure to perform remote switching.

• Set W1, or W2 and W3, to the B-C position for applications that use

active driver(s) to perform remote switching.
