ATEN CS-9134 - Manual (Page 5)

Overview
The Master View CS-9134 and CS-9138 KVM switches are control units that
allow access to multiple computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor,
and mouse). Before the development of the Master View, the only way to
control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a
complex and costly network system. Now, with the Master View CS-9134 /
CS-9138, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective
manner.
A single Master View CS-9134 or CS-9138 can control up to 4 or 8
computers, respectively. Since the switches can be cascaded to three levels,
in a full three stage installation up to 21 CS-9134 Master Views can control up
to 64 computers and 73 CS-9138 Master Views can control up to 512
computers - all from a single console.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. There is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved
in complex installation routines or be concerned with incompatibility problems.
Because the CS-9134 / CS-9138 intercepts keyboard input directly, it works
on any hardware platform and with all operating systems.
There are three convenient methods to access any computer connected to the
system: (1) using the push button port selection switches located on each
unit’s front panel; (2) entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard; and (3)
selecting from menus provided by the OSD (On Screen Display) feature. A
powerful Quick View Scan feature also permits auto scanning and monitoring
the activities of all operating computers on the installation one by one.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View
CS-9134 / CS-9138 installation. By allowing a single console to manage all
the attached computers, a Master View CS-9134 / CS-9138 installation: (1)
eliminates the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor,
and mouse for each computer; (2) saves all the space those extra
components would take up; (3) saves on energy costs; and (4) eliminates the
inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving around from
one computer to another.
