4 Connecting the VS-21DPIR i Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VS-21DPIR. After connecting your VS-21DPIR, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device. To connect the VS-21DPIR, as the example in Figure 2 shows, do the following: 1. Connect up to two computer graphics sources to INPUT 1 and INPUT 2. 2. Connect the OUTPUT connector to the DisplayPort acceptor (for example, a display), using the Kramer DisplayPort cable.
4.1 Using the Remote Control Transmitter You can use the remote control transmitter to switch INPUT 1 or 2 to the output. Before doing so, set it to work with the VS-21DPIR by assigning a GROUP number. The setup parameters for the remote control transmitter are as follows: router number = 1 (default); group number = 11, single digit mode (default), video (default). For further details, see the RC-IR2 user manual. To assign the GROUP number on the remote control transmitter, do the following: 1.
