Code-Operated Switch-16 Handle the big switching jobs—ones with up to 16 devices—without ever leaving your desk. Connect one computer to as many as 16 RS-232 peripheral, laboratory, or data-input devices. FEATURES • Switch common-port access between 16 ports. • Convenient code-based switching means you can control all your devices from one computer. • No accidental switching—coderepetition feature separates switch commands from data. • Optional broadcast mode distributes data to all ports. Code Operated Switch-16 (COS-16) (SW056A) PC Lathe Oscilloscope Data-collection panel Digital-to-analog controller OVERVIEW Bring the ease of “soft switching” to large RS-232 applications with the Code-Operated Switch-16 (COS-16). It works just as smoothly as a mechanical switch, but you activate it by sending a two-character ASCII code from your PC rather than by pressing a button or turning a knob. Switching is simple. From a PC, modem, or terminal installed on the common port, just send the prefix (arming) character to alert the COS-16, then send the port-selection character. Electronic relays instantly direct data to the proper port. With code-based switching, you can use your local or remote PC to receive data from or transmit data to any of a huge collection of RS-232 terminals, peripherals, or lab or industrial equipment. The COS-16 can handle all varieties of data, including binary and graphics files, even though these can contain exact equivalents of the COS-16’s two-character switching codes. When you use the COS-16’s “code repetition” feature, the unit waits for two, four, or even eight consecutive occurrences of the prefix character before recognizing a selection character and redirecting your data. This precaution dramatically lowers the odds of a switching error. The COS-16 also has a “broadcast mode” feature. In broadcast mode, the device on the common port can simultaneously transmit to all connected devices. This makes sending bulletins and upgrading firmware much easier. With the COS-16, you can switch between up to 16 devices. 11/16/2007 #10425 724-746-5500 blackbox.com The COS-16 fits any site that relies on a large number of RS-232 devices—peripherals, terminals, lab equipment, etc. It’s ideal for monitoring remote equipment or data-collection devices, polling bar-code readers, exercising units under test, or broadcasting to market-quote displays. And the COS-16 runs at data rates up to 19.2 kbps. We also offer an RS-422 version of the COS-16 as a special quote; for details, call us at 724-746-5500. Additional equipment you may need • To rackmount a COS-16, you’ll need one Rackmount Kit. • An asynchronous RS-232 modem for long-distance off-site control of your devices. • An RS-232 line driver for control from an office on another floor or from a data center in a nearby building. • RS-232 cable. • AC and data-line surge protectors. • Interface converters to connect RS-422, RS-423, RS-449, RS-485, V.35, or X.21 devices to the COS-16. • A country-specific power cord for operating the COS-16 outside of North America. • Communications software. 2 of 3 TECH SPECS Code Set — ASCII Compliance — FCC Part 15 Class A, DOC Class/MDC classe A Data Format — Either 7 data bits with even, odd, mark, or space parity, or 8 data bits with no parity (user-selectable); 1 stop bit (fixed) Data Rate — 150 bps to 19.2 kbps, user-selectable Distance (Maximum) — 50 ft.

SW056A: Rear view Why Buy From Black Box? Exceptional Value. Exceptional Tech Support. Period. Recognize any of these situations? • You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support. • The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer. • You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you. • It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed. 11/16/2007 #10425 724-746-5500 blackbox.com According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid. At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support. You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just the right component for your application. Don’t waste time and money— call Black Box today. 3 of 3
