2 Safety Instructions
To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your U-Switch please note the following guidelines:
Installation
Only use in dry, indoor environments. The U-Switch and the power supply units can get warm. Do not
situate them in an enclosed space without any airflow.
Do not place the power supply directly on top of the device. Do not obscure ventilation holes. Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or
manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a damaged chassis.
Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each case, ensure
that the ground connection is maintained from the outlet socket through to the power supply's AC power input.
Do not connect the link interface to any other equipment, particularly
network or telecommunications equipment.
Take any required ESD precautions.
In order to disconnect the device completely from the electric circuit, all power cables have to be removed.
Repair
Do not attempt to open or repair a power supply unit. Do not attempt to open or repair the U-Switch. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
Please contact your dealer or manufacturer if there is a fault.

5.1 Command Mode
The U-Switch has a Command Mode that allows several functions via keyboard command during normal use.
To enter Command Mode use a 'Hot Key' sequence and to exit Command Mode, press <Esc>. While in Command Mode, the LEDs Shift and Scroll on the console keyboard will flash.
In Command Mode normal keyboard and mouse operation will cease. Only selected keyboard commands are available.
If there is no keyboard command executed within 10 s after activating Command Mode, it will be automatically deactivated.
The following table lists the keyboard commands to enter and to exit Command Mode and to change the 'Hot Key' sequence:
Function Keyboard Command
Enter Command Mode (default)
2x <Right Shift> (or 'Hot Key')
Exit Command Mode <Esc> Change 'Hot Key' sequence <current 'Hot Key'>, <c>,
<new 'Hot Key' code>, <Enter> Until 2011-30-09: <Left Ctrl> + <Left Shift> + <c>,
<'Hot Key' Code>, <Enter>
<Key> + <Key> Press keys simultaneously <Key>, <Key> Press keys successively 2x <Key> Press key quickly, twice in a row
(similar to a mouse double-click)
Draco U-Switch

The 'Hot Key' sequence to enter Command Mode can be changed. The following table lists the 'Hot Key' Codes for the available key sequences:
'Hot Key' Code 'Hot Key'
0 Freely selectable (2012-01-12) 2 2x <Scroll> 3 2x <Left Shift> 4 2x <Left Ctrl> 5 2x <Left Alt> 6 2x <Right Shift> 7 2x <Right Ctrl> 8 2x <Right Alt>
In a KVM switch configuration, choose different 'Hot Keys' for the KVM Extender and the Draco U-Switch.
Set freely selectable 'Hot Key' (exemplary)
In order to set a freely selectable 'Hot Key' (e.g. 2x <Space>), use the following keyboard sequence:
<current 'Hot Key'>, <c>, <0>, <Space>, <Enter>
Reset 'Hot Key'
In order to set a 'Hot Key' back to default settings of the extender, press the key combination <Right Shift> + <Del> within 5 s after switching on the CON unit or plugging in a keyboard.

5.2 External Display (optional)
The U-Switch has a RJ10 interface at each USB-HID port for CPUs (see Chapter 7.1.2, Page 25). It provides the current status of the port, e.g. for
control of a status LED.
5.3 External Control (optional)
The U-Switch has a RJ10 interface at each USB-HID port for CPUs (see Chapter 7.1.2, Page 25). The current switching status can be changed by
a potential-free contact, e.g. by a button.

6.1 Switching a Source
6.1.1 Switching via Keyboard
From your console, you can switch via keyboard sequence between different monitors.
1. Open Command Mode with the 'Hot Key' (see Chapter
5.1, Page 19).
2. Enter the number of the specific source or monitor and confirm with <Enter>.
At the same time Command Mode is closed and the keyboard LEDs return to previous status.
Keyboard and mouse are connected to the specified source or monitor.
When using the numeric keypad for switching, a confirmation of the switching operation by using the key <Enter> is not necessary.
6.1.2 Switching via Mouse (Panning)
When panning the mouse cursor beyond the border of the monitor, you can switch from your console between different monitors that are in vertical or horizontal position to each other.
Monitors that are only arranged horizontally (e. g. 4x1, 8x1) has to be operated with the one-dimensional Multi-Screen mode. Monitors that are arranged vertically and horizontally (e. g. 2x2, 4x2) has to be operated with the two-dimensional Multi-Screen mode.
1. Activate the switching via mouse by executing the following keyboard sequences:
One-dimensional mode: 'Hot Key', <x>, <1>, <Enter> – Two-dimensional mode: 'Hot Key', <x>, <2>, <Enter>
2. Move the mouse pointer beyond the border of the monitor to the vertically or horizontally located monitor.
The switching operation will be immediately executed to the connected source (computer, CPU) by passing over the mouse pointer.
Operation
2014-04-15 23
3. Deactivate the switching via mouse by executing the following keyboard sequence: 'Hot Key', <x>, <0>, <Enter>
An additional software for calibration and positioning of the mouse pointer is not necessary.
6.1.3 External Switching (optional)
Optionally, you can connect a button with a RJ10 interface to switch to the respective source or monitor.
The RJ10 interface is separately available for each USB-HID port with CPU connection.

7.1.1 USB-HID
Our devices with USB-HID interface support a maximum of two devices with USB-HID protocol. Each USB-HID port provides a maximum current of 100 mA.
Keyboard
Compatible with most USB keyboards. Certain keyboards with additional functions may require custom firmware to operate. Keyboards with an integral USB Hub (Mac keyboards e.g.) are also supported.
Mouse
Compatible with most 2-button, 3-button and scroll mice.
Other USB-HID devices
The proprietary USB emulation also supports certain other USB-HID devices, such as specific touch screens, graphic tablets, barcode scanners or special keyboards. Support cannot be guaranteed, however, for every USB-HID device.
Only two USB-HID devices are supported concurrently, such as keyboard and mouse or keyboard and touch screen. A hub is allowed, but it does not increase the number of HID devices allowed.
To support other USB 'non-HID' devices, such as scanners, web cams or memory devices, choose our devices with transparent USB support.

7.1.2 RJ10 / 4P4C
This interface is used to establish a customer specific communication with the U-Switch.
External Status LED
For control of an external Status LED to show the status of the respective port, please proceed as follows:
Connect the anode of your LED with pin 1 and the cathode with pin 2. Use a suitable series resistor that you connect in series. The interface supplies
3.3 V output voltage with 15 mA max.
External Button
To control a port by an external button, please proceed as follows: Use an NC (normally closed) contact as a switch. This contact has to
short-circuit pin 3 and pin 4 for switching.

7.2.1 USB-HID Devices
The U-Switch will support most USB-HID devices, including the vast majority of keyboards and mice currently on the market. Many other kinds of HID devices such as bar-code scanners and touch screens may also be compatible
It is not possible to guarantee support for all available USB-HID devices. In certain cases, custom firmware may be required.
USB-HID (and other) devices that are not supported as standard will normally operate with our devices featuring transparent USB support.
Please note that concurrent operation of more than two USB-HID devices is not possible even if you use a USB hub.

7.8 MTBF
The following table contains the mean time between failure (MTBF) in power-on hours (POH). The estimate is based on the FIT rates of the parts included. FIT rates are based on normalized environmental conditions of T = 60°C and activation energy (Ea) of 0.7 eV. Calculations are based on 90% confidence limit.
We estimate that inside the housing, temperature will be 15°C higher than the ambient temperature. Therefore, the MTBF calculation refers to an ambient temperature of 45°C. The humidity is limited to 60%.
