Page 5: Kdswhu Introduction
• Automatic fax detection • Music on hold The MicroSwitch supports up to 32 extensions and 8 external lines, enabling connections to shore lines, SATCOM and Public Address lines. Facilities are available to enable a maximum of 4/8 connection circuits to be made at any time. The circuitry is enclosed in a compact case for easy fitting to bulkheads.
Page 6 To assist with maintenance and fault finding, a number of indicators are provided on the modules to show the status of the exchange and the extension lines. MicroSwitch will detect an incoming fax call tone and automatically transfer it to the designated extension.

MicroSwitch exchange. MicroAid microAid is a software utility to enable you to reconfigure the MicroSwitch. Full details about microAid are provided in the microAid help file which is available from Marine Communications Limited at the address given in the front of this handbook.
Page 9: Kdswhu Installation
MicroSwitch User Manual Physical Installation The MicroSwitch should be installed in a location away from electrical noise and excess vibration. Where possible the equipment should be located in a well ventilated area where it will not be adversely affected by salt water and extremes of heat.
Page 10: Locating The Unit
PLFUR6ZLWFK 7HFKQLFDO 0DQXDO Locating The Unit Figure 1 identifies the cabinet dimensions. Please refer to these when you are locating the MicroSwitch in its permanent position. Figure 1 Cabinet Dimensions Loosely fit the top screw and manoeuvre the cabinet so that the screw slots into the top hole on the rear of the cabinet.
Page 11 ,167$//$7,21 Figure 2 MicroSwitch Unit - Front View In the diagram, above the MicroSwitch is shown with the panel removed from the lower section of the unit to show B and C screw positions. This section houses the terminal strips, the power terminal block and the printer connection.
Page 12: Power Connections
Power connection is via a two-way terminal block mounted in the lower right hand side of the bottom section of the MicroSwitch unit. When connecting to the terminals, the power leads should be pushed through from under the unit where there are a series of holes. (Remove the grommet from the relevant hole.) See Figure 3 below.

Page 14: Rs232 Call Log Serial Interface Connections
These connections are provided by an orange two part screw terminal strip located at the bottom of the MicroSwitch. All the pins 1 to 8 are used with the exception of pin 6 which is unconnected. The wiring to a 9-way PC serial connector is shown in the table.
Page 15: Printer Data Format
Set Up Terminal Connections The terminal used for setting up the MicroSwitch is connected to a 9-way ‘D’ socket on the front of the processor card. To access this connector, it is necessary to open the front panel. The wiring to a 9-way PC serial connector is also shown in the table below.
Page 16: Engineering Checks
2.8.1 Installation Checks Once the equipment has been installed, the MicroSwitch exchange should be powered up and the indicator observed on the front panel to ensure that power is reaching the unit. Each installed board should have the power LED illuminated.
Page 17: Kdswhu System Configuration
Limited reconfiguration can be carried out using a security PIN number which allows access to the MicroSwitch system via a DTMF telephone. If you reconfigure the MicroSwitch exchange we recommend that you print a record of the new configuration details and keep them with this manual for reference.
