Basic Operation
Hot Plugging
The CS-1754 / CS-1758 supports hot plugging – components can be removed
and added back into the installation by unplugging and replugging their cables
without having to shut the switch down. In order for hot plugging to work
properly, however, the procedures described below must be followed:
Hot Plugging KVM ports
When hot plugging cables from the KVM ports:
1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
2. The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.
3. After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the
First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In – see Reset Switch, page 5
for details).
Hot Plugging Console Ports
The unit supports hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse. When hot
plugging the mouse from the Master View's console mouse port:
Š 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.
Š 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. (Refer
back to the note describing the Power On sequence on page 16, if
necessary.)
Note: If there is no response to mouse and/or PS/2 keyboard input after hot
plugging (or at any other time), simultaneously press and hold Port
Select buttons 1 and 2 on the First Stage unit for 3 seconds to
perform a PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse reset.
