Operation
Hot Plugging
The Master View Pro supports hot plugging - components can be removed and
added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the CPU ports
without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work
properly, however, these procedures must be followed:
w Hot Plugging CPU Ports:
When hot plugging cables from the CPU ports:
1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
2. After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the
First Stage unit by simultaneously pressing the Port1 / Port2 button
combination for three seconds.
w Hot Plugging Console Ports:
When hot plugging the mouse from the Master View’s console mouse port:
1. You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse,
for example), as long as you use the same mouse.
2. If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on
the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted
according to the directions in Step 6 of the Daisy Chaining section, above.
Powering Off and Restarting
If, for some reason, it is necessary to Power Off one of the Master View Pro
units, before starting it back up you must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it, as well as all the stations
and all the computers that are daisy chained down from it (all the child
stations and the computers attached to them).
2. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the Master View Pro stations back in, starting
with the last station in the chain and working back to the station you originally
shut down.
3. After all the Master View Pro stations are up, power On the computers,
starting with the ones attached to the last station in the chain and working
back to the station you originally shut down.
Note: It is not necessary to shut down and restart any of the stations or
computers above the station you powered off.
