Installation and Operation, cont'd
VSW I AAP connection
The VSW I AAP (part #70-529-11, -21, -51) is an optional Architectural Adapter Plate
that provides remote input connection and selection for some Extron switchers.
The VSW I AAP can be connected to the SW8/12 VGA Ars input ports for input
selection control.
The VSW I AAP is equipped with a "Show Me" button for input selection, a female
15-pin HD VGA connector, and a 3.5 mm stereo audio jack.
Figure 2-13 — VSW I AAP
When the "Show Me" button is pressed, pin 5 on the switcher's 15-pin HD input
is momentarily shorted to ground. This overrides the switcher's current input
selection, and directs video and audio from the VSW I AAP's connected device to
the switcher's output ports.
For the VSW I AAP to operate with a switcher, the VSW I AAP PCB jumper must be
set properly, and the switcher must be configured via its RS-232 control port.
The VSW I AAP can be mounted into any Extron mounting frame with a single
space AAP opening.
The illustration on the following page shows a typical SW8 VGA Ars switcher
application with four VSW I AAP units connected to the switcher's input ports.

Confirm that jumper J5 is removed and jumper J6 is in place on the
VSW I AAP's printed circuit board.
Apply power to the switcher.
Connect a host computer to the switcher's RS-232 control port.
Open a hyperterminal session on the host computer, and use a Simple
Instruction Set (SIS
) command to configure the switcher to operate with a

VSW I AAP (see chapter 3, "Operation and Control").
Connect a VGA cable from the VSW I AAP's output connector to one of the
switcher's input ports.
