Installation
Installation of the VS481A is simply a matter of plugging in the
appropriate cables.
To install the switch, refer to the installation diagram on page 12
as you perform the following three steps:
1. Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI input port on the
video display device to the HDMI output port on the rear of
the VS481A.
2. Use HDMI cables to connect the HDMI output ports on the
source device(s) to the HDMI input ports on the VS481
A.
Three HDMI input ports are located on the rear of the switch;
the fourth HDMI port is located on the front of the switch.
3. Plug the provided power adapter into an appropriate AC
power source; plug the power adapter cable into the Power
Jack on the VS481A.
This completes the basic installation of the VS481A HDMI Switch.
You may now power on the display and source devices.
Installing the RS-232 Controller
In order to use the RS-232 serial interface to attach a high-end
controller (such as a PC) to the VS481
A, use a serial cable such
as a modem cable. The end connecting to the VS481
A should
have a 9-pin male connector. Connect this to the serial interface
on the rear of the VS481
A. Refer to number 4 on the diagram on
page 12.
Note: To configure the controller serial port, see page 14.
1. Make sure that the power to all devices you will be
installing has been turned off.
2. Make sure that all devices you will be installing are
properly grounded.
