    Example: S01 – switches to PC #1 By default, when switching, the MC4-H2 or MC4-H2-SW will not switch to a port that does not have a powered PC. (i.e. the red PWR led is not on). This behavior however, can be changed via the Serial control.
  • Page 8: Front Panel Push Buttons

    Let’s say you have two MC4-H2 or MC4-H2-SW units. Call them Unit A and Unit B. Unit A is set as the Master and Unit B is set as the Slave 1. If you were to change the address of Unit B to the master, Unit A will have to give up its address since Unit B has now taken the Master address.

    Hot swapping is not recommended but may be successfully performed. You may unplug the mouse and/or the keyboard while the MC4-H2 or MC4-H2-SW is powered up and PC’s are connected and powered on. You may then plug in the same keyboard/mouse or a different keyboard/mouse and the MC4-H2 or MC4-H2-SW will recognize the new keyboard/mouse.
  • Page 10: Hot Swapping Pc's

    Hot Swapping PC’s You may hot swap a PC while the MC4-H2 or MC4-H2-SW is powered up only after that PC has been turned off. After the PC has been turned off, unplug the keyboard, mouse, and video connectors of the CA10087 (4-in-1) cable then plug them into the PC you wish to insert into the MC4-H2 or MC4-H2-SW setup.
