ATEN CS-1754 CS-1758 - Manual (Page 17)

Two Stage Installation
To control even more computers, up to four/eight additional Master View
CS-1754/CS-1758 units can be cascaded from the CPU 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
(CS-1754) or 64 (CS-1758) computers can be controlled in a complete
two stage installation. A table showing the relation between the number
of computers and the number of units needed to control them is
provided on p. 46.
To set up a two stage installation, refer to the Two Stage Installation
diagram on the next page as you 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 USB KVM cable set (described in the Cables section, p. 3), to
connect any available CPU Port on the First Stage unit to the
Console ports of the Second Stage unit.
Note: Plug the USB connector into the USB port next to the Console
SPDB port (they are both marked with a similar icon to remind
you of the correct USB port).
3. Using a KVM cable set (described in the Cables section, p. 3), plug
the custom SPDB connector into any available CPU Port on the
switch and plug the accompanying microphone and speaker cables
into the CPU Port’s microphone and speaker jacks.
Note: Be sure that all the plugs are in the same CPU Port sockets
(all in Port 1, all in Port 2, etc.).
4. At the other end of the cable:
a) For a USB connection (see p. 10), plug the USB, video,
microphone and speaker cables into their respective ports on the
computer.
b) For a PS/2 connection (see p. 10), plug the keyboard, mouse,
video, microphone and speaker cables into their respective ports
on the computer.
