Two Stage Installation
To control even more computers, up to four (CS9134) or eight (CS9138)
additional Master View units can be cascaded from the KVM ports of the First
Stage unit. The cascaded Master Views that connect back to the First Stage unit
are considered Second Stage units.
As many as 16 (CS9134) or 64 (CS9138) computers can be controlled in a
complete two stage installation. Tables showing the relation between the
number of computers and the number of Master View units needed to control
them are provided in the Appendix.
Note: Although several models of ATEN KVM switches can be cascaded (see
Compatible Cascade Switches, page 32 for a list), mixing different
Master View models on the same installation may cause problems with
OSD port switching. Therefore, we strongly recommend that all
cascaded units be the same model as the First Stage unit.
To set up a two stage installation, do the following:
1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up,
including all preexisting devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2. Use a KVM cable set (see Cables, page 3), to connect any available KVM
Port on the First Stage unit to the Console Port connectors of the Second
Stage unit.
3. Use KVM cable sets (see Cables, page 3), to connect any available KVM
port on the Second Stage unit to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports of
the computers you are installing.
4. Plug the power adapter cable into the Master View's power jack, then plug
the adapter into an AC power source.
Note: Repeat the above steps for any other Second Stage units you wish to
connect.
5. Plug in the power adapter for the First Stage Master View unit.
