VS0801A User Manual

Pushbutton Lock

The pushbutton lock allows you to secure the VS0801A by locking use of the

front panel pushbuttons. To lock/unlock the front panel pushbuttons, do the

following:

Press and hold both the 1 and 8 port selection buttons for 3 seconds, then

release.

Note: 1. The front panel port LEDs will flash at a one second interval to

indicate the pushbutton lock feature is enabled.

2. Repeat the steps above to unlock the front panel pushbuttons.

Auto Switch

Auto Switch places priority on a port, so that when a source device is connected

to that port the VS0801A 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. To set Auto mode for the other ports, you must use

RS-232 commands (see Auto Switch Commands, page 20).

This sets Auto mode for port #1, so that when a device is connected to port #1

the VS0801A will automatically switch to it. When Auto mode is enabled the

VS0801A will not switch ports until that port's video signal is disconnected, or

Default mode is turned on.

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.

The switch behaves normally without the automatic switching operation.

Note: When a mode is successfully enabled the port LED will flash for 3

seconds.
