USB Performance

The SW12USB is a USB 3.2 Gen2 USB switch with data transfer rate up to 10Gbps and backwards compatibility support for USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. Please note that actual USB performance will be dependent on the following factors:

• USB Host version and cable length / quality
• USB Device version and cable length / quality

It is possible for the SW12USB to limit the USB-A Device port speed from 10Gbps to 5Gbps to improve device compatibility via the Web GUI and API.

General Purpose Input (GPI) Port

The General Purpose Input (GPI) Port can be used to trigger the Host input to change on the SW12USB. It has 3 modes of function and can be configured via the Web GUI.

Pulse Mode:

In Pulse Mode, when the GPI port receives a signal pulse (every high (1-12V) to low (Ground) voltage change), it triggers the SW12USB device to change Host inputs.

Level Mode:

In Level Mode, the SW12USB will trigger based on the voltage applied to the GPI port. The low level trigger and high level trigger can be specified between 0-12V.

The SW12USB will switch to Host 1 when GPI voltage is greater than the High Level trigger level. The SW12USB will switch to Host 2 when GPI voltage is less than the Low Level trigger level.

Contact Closure Mode:

In Contact Closure Mode when GPI port is open circuit, the SW12USB will select Host 1.

When GPI port is shorted to ground, the SW12USB will select Host 2.

Web-GUI Control

The SW12USB features an in-built web-GUI for control and configuration of the unit. By default the device is set to DHCP, however if a DHCP server (eg: network router) is not installed the device IP address will revert to below details:

Default Username: blustream Default Password: 1234 Default IP Address: 192.168.0.200

The device can also be accessed via its mDNS name which is defaulted to: http://SW12USB.local/

Telnet & RS-232 Control Port

The SW12USB can be controlled via a 3-pin Phoenix to serial RS-232 cable or via Telnet. The RS-232 communication settings and commands are as follows:

Baud Rate: 57600 bps Data Bit: 8-bit Parity: None Stop Bit: 1-bit Flow Control: None
