Three Stage Installation
The procedures for setting up a three stage installation are essentially the same as
for a two stage installation. With a three stage setup, as many as 512 computers
can be controlled in a complete installation. A table showing the relation between
the number of computers and the number of Master View units needed to control
them is provided on p. 31.
Note: 1. See Notes 1 and 2 at the beginning of the Two Stage Installation section.
2. Master View units cannot be cascaded beyond the third level.
To set up a three 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 (described in the Cables section, p. 4), to connect any
available CPU Port on the Second Stage unit to the Console Port connectors
of the Third Stage unit.
3. Use KVM cable sets (described in the Cables section, p. 4), to connect any
available CPU port on the Third Stage unit to the Keyboard, Video, and
Mouse ports of the computers you are installing, as shown in the diagram on
page 10.
