Installation
Before you Begin
Single Station Installation
In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional Master View’s cascaded
down from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation do the following:
1. Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into the unit’s Console Ports.
2. Use KVM cable sets (as described in the Cables section on p. 4), to connect
any available CS-88A CPU Port to the Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports of
the computer you are installing.
3. If you choose to use external power, plug the power adapter cable into the
Master View’s Power Jack, then plug the adapter into an AC power source.
Note: Under non-powered operation, the unit gets its power from the
computers via the cables. If a computer, only supplies 3.3V of power
for the keyboard and mouse instead of 5V (as in the case of
Notebooks, for example), the unit will not receive enough power, and
you will need to use the external power adapter.
4. Turn on the power to the computers.
Note: If you choose to use external power, the Master View unit must be plugged
in and receiving power prior to turning on the power to the computers.
1. Before you begin, make sure that power to all the devices you
will be connecting up have been turned off. You must unplug
the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard
Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power
from the computer.
2. To prevent damage to your installation due to ground potential
difference, make sure that all devices on the installation are properly
grounded. Consult your dealer for technical details, if necessary.
