Auto Switch - ATEN VS0801H User Manual

Auto Switch

Auto Switch places priority on a port, so that when a source
device is connected to that port the VS0801H will automatically
switch to it. There are two types of auto switching – Auto: switch
priority is placed on a particular port, and Next: switch priority is
placed on the next port with a new source connected to it. Once
Auto Switch is set it stays on that port until the device is
disconnected or Default mode is enabled.
In addition, the Go To function can be enabled via RS-232
commands and enables the VS0801H to switch to the next port
with a powered on source device when the current input source
is off. To set Go To see Switch Mode Command, page 19.
You can use the front panel buttons to set Auto mode for port 1,
Next mode or Default mode. To set Auto mode for other ports,
you must use RS-232 commands (see Switch Mode Command,
page 19).
Default Mode – The switch behaves normally without
automatic switching operation (disables Auto Switch mode).
To set Default mode: Press and hold the port 1 pushbutton for
3 seconds, then release.
Auto Mode – Sets Auto mode for port 1, so that when a
device is connected to port 1 the VS0801H will automatically
switch to it. When Auto mode is enabled the VS0801H will not
switch ports until that port's video signal is disconnected or
Default mode is enabled.
To set Auto mode: Press and hold the port 3 pushbutton for 3
seconds, then release.
Next Mode – With Next mode switch priority is placed on the
next port that has a new source connected to it. To disable
Next mode, Default mode must be enabled.
To set Next mode: Press and hold the port 2 pushbutton for 3
seconds, then release.
