Setting up for host emulation
To enable host emulation,
1
. Connect a keyboard, a mouse, or both to output port 3, 4, or both. The
SW4 USB Plus can emulate a keyboard and a mouse simultaneously. Either
type of device can be connected to either or both of the two emulation ports (3
and 4).
N
The SW USB cannot emulate a host through ports 3 and 4 if a hub or an
extender with an internal hub is connected to either of these ports.
2
. Place the Host Emulation DIP switches on the rear panel in the appropriate
position to enable emulation for the connected device. The table below shows
the switch positions for keyboard and mouse emulation.
Switch 1
(Mouse)
Switch 2
(Keyboard)
Emulation
Off (down) Off (down) No emulation
On (up) Off (down) Emulate mouse only.
Off (down) On (up) Emulate keyboard only.
On (up) On (up)
Emulate keyboard and
mouse.
Example: In the illustration at right, the DIP switches are set to enable
emulation of both a mouse and a keyboard.
N
If two mice or two keyboards are connected to output ports 3 and 4,
and the appropriate emulation DIP switch is set to On, the switcher
emulates a host to only one port.
When one or both DIP switches are set to On (up), host emulation follows the
attached peripheral device:
• When the Mouse DIP switch (switch 1) is set to On (up), the switcher emulates
a host to any standard mouse that is connected to either of the emulation
output ports (3 or 4).
• When the Keyboard DIP switch (switch 2) is set to On, the switcher emulates a
host to any standard keyboard that is connected to an emulation port.
• When both DIP switches are set to On, the switcher emulates a host to any
connected standard mouse or keyboard that is connected to port 3 or 4.
Supported peripheral devices
The SW4 USB Plus can emulate a host only to a standard keyboard and a standard
mouse. The emulation feature is not supported with non-standard keyboards or
mice, such as devices that require additional drivers.
For example, the SW USB does not support host emulation for RF/Bluetooth
keyboards and mice, hubs, extenders with internal hubs, or any peripherals
connected to those types of devices. If these devices are connected to output
ports 3 and 4 when the DIP switches are set to On, the devices are switched through
to the input.
Alternatively, you can set the Host Emulation DIP switches to Off when using these
devices.
