Introduction
Thank you for buying the FS-102ATL (from here on, simply referred to as "the switch device").
Two consoles (monitor, keyboard or mouse) that up till now have been connected to individual hosts can
be shared as a console pair by connecting two hosts to the switch device.
The host can be easily selected by the Select Switch or from the keyboard.
Safety instructions are provided to ensure the safe use of the switch device.
Also, be sure to thoroughly read this User's Manual before you start using the switch device to
ensure correct use.
Be sure to keep this User's Manual in a safe place for future reference.
Safety Instructions
Read the “Safety Instructions” before use to ensure proper use of this product. Safety Instructions
contained in this section are written for the user to avoid any damage to property or injury to self; please
read the following carefully.
● The switch device is compatible with PC-AT and Macintosh (USB) hosts. {Macintosh (ADB)
connection is not possible.}
● Note, however, that each of the hosts must be equipped with the following keyboard/mouse and
monitor connectors. Other models that have connectors other than these connectors cannot be used.
• PC/AT compatible : Mini DIN 6P female (for PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse) x 2,
or USB 4P female.
DB15HD female (monitor)
• Mac : USB 4P female
DB15 female or DB15HD female (monitor)
● The USB Bridge function is not supported for Macintosh or Linux hosts.
● Use the special cable for connecting the switch device to the host.
The maximum cable length is 3 m. Operation using cables longer than 3 m is not guaranteed.
● The mouse connector for the switch device is exclusively for PS/2 connection (Mini DIN 6P female).
Serial mouse connection is not possible.
● Operation of the switch device under special specifications (including special driver) using a
programmable/wireless keyboard is not guaranteed.
● The switch device may not function properly depending on the type of mouse.
When using a mouse with a scroll function such as a wheel mouse, the scroll function may not
function properly depending on the mouse driver software.
● The keyboard connector for the switch device is the PS/2 (Mini DIN 6P female). However, AT type
(DIN 5P male) keyboards can also be connected if the PS/2 [-] AT conversion connector is used.
● The keyboard and mouse connectors are the same shape. Check the orientation of these connectors
before connecting them. If they are forced in or connected incorrectly, the switch device may not only
function improperly but also may malfunction.
● Check the orientation of the monitor connector before firmly fastening with fixing screws. If the
monitor connector is not connected firmly, the switch device may not only function improperly but also
may malfunction.
● Connect the keyboard/mouse/USB/monitor on each port and the host to the same port number.
The host cannot be properly selected if the monitor and keyboard or mouse port settings are set
incorrectly.
● Before connecting and disconnecting connectors, make sure that the hosts are OFF. Also, pay
sufficient attention to static electricity. Discharge static electricity before connecting and
disconnecting connectors. Connecting or disconnecting connectors with the hosts charged with static
electricity or the power still ON may cause the hosts to malfunction.
● Since the switch device feeds off the power (DC+5V) via the host's keyboard/mouse port, make sure
that they are connected properly. Be sure to leave at least one host ON for each device. The switch
device cannot be operated unless power is properly supplied.
● When connecting the switch device to a USB port, be sure to use the special AC adapter. The USB
port will not operate unless this special AC adapter is connected, as the USB port is self-powered.

● The internal voltage sometimes drops and prevents the switch device from operating depending on
how it is used and its operating environment. If this happens, the LOW POWER LED on the front
panel lights up. Connect the special AC adapter (option).
● Use the special AC adapter. Using an incompatible AC adapter will not only effect the operation of the
switch device, but may also damage it.
● Correctly set each of the hosts matched to the keyboard/mouse on the console. The switch device
may not run properly if the settings are wrong.
● Use a monitor that is connected on each of the host, and set the resolution correctly. The switch
device supports resolutions of up to1600 x 1200 and a bandwidth of 200 MHz. This display may also
shift after switching depending on the monitor used and the resolution setting. If this happens,
reconfigure the monit or.
● The switch device allows PC/AT and DOS/V compatible keyboards to emulate a USB-connected
Macintosh keyboard, but the lack of a dedicated eject button for the optical drives (CD, DVD) of the
new Power Mac G4 models (specifically the Quicksilver model available since July 2001), requires
use of either of the following work-arounds. First boot the Mac in OS9, according to the instructions
given in the manual. Next, decide if you wish to use the keyboard work-around (1), or the mouse
work-around (2). (1) The keyboard work-around: from the Apple Menu select [Control Panel], then the
[Keyboard] sub-menu. Click the function key (F1~F15) that you wish to set as the Eject key, and the
corresponding keyboard item opens. Search for and select “Eject” to set the selected key as the Eject
button. (2) The mouse work-around: from the Macintosh HD open the “Apple Extras” folder (in
Applications), then the “Eject Extras” sub-folder, then follow the instructions given in ”About Eject
Extras”.
● Any attached speakers must be supported by the PCs involved, and have internal amplifiers.
The switch device should never be connected between the internal amp speaker and the other
speaker, at risk of damage. Refer to the PC connection instructions for further details.
● Connect the switch device’s audio connector IN jack to the PC’s Line Out jack. Do not connect the
switch device to the PC’s Speaker Out jack, at the risk of damage.

Characteristics
● Two consoles (monitor, keyboard or mouse) that up till now have been connected to individual hosts
can be shared as a console pair by connecting two hosts to the switch device. This considerably
saves installation space.
● Use of the USB Bridge function allows a printer or storage device to be shared between two PCs,
and also allows free movement of files between the two PCs.
● Up to two hosts can be connected to the switch device.
● An AC adapter is not required as power is supplied from the keyboard/mouse port on the host.
(However, be sure to connect the special AC adapter when using the switch device on the USB
port.)
● The switch device has an independent microcomputer (MPU) to control all ports (keyboard, mouse
and each host port). For this reason, the states (key code mode, Num, Caps, Scroll state and mouse
output mode) of the keyboard and mouse at each host is monitored by the MPU of each port to
achieve stable switching at all times.
● PS/2 keyboards and mice are supported.
● 2/3 button, various wheel mice (Microsoft IntelliMouse, IntelliMouse Explorer, Logitech MouseMan
Wheel, Cordless MouseMan Optical, etc.), IBM Scroll Point Mouse, Fujitsu FID677 (multi-scroll
mouse) are supported as PS/2 mice.
● A PS/2 keyboard and mouse can be used on the USB port. In this case, standard 3-button wheel
mouse functions are supported.
● One USB HUB port is provided for each port. The corresponding HUB port is enabled when the
switch device is connected to the USB port. As the HUB port is connected (fixed) for each host, the
host can be switched even if the USB device connected to the HUB port is operating. The HUB port
is enabled at all times regardless of whether or not the host is selected, and cannot be switched.
● VGA, SVGA, multi-sync resolution 1600 x 1200, and bandwidth 200 MHz are supported.
● The host can be easily selected by the Select Switch or from the keyboard (Hot Key mode).
