Hot Plugging
The Master View CS-1732 A / CS-1734 A supports USB hot plugging - components can
be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the
CPU ports without the need to shut the unit down.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off the Master View unit, before starting it back up
you must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch.
Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard
Power On function that are connected to the shut down switches. Otherwise,
the switches will still receive power from the computers.
2. Unplug the switch’s power adapter cable.
3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.
4. After the switch is up, Power On the computers.
Port Numbering
Each CPU port on the CS-1732 A / CS-1734 A switch is assigned a port number (1 or 2
for the CS-1732 A ; 1 to 4 for the CS-1734 A ). The port numbers are marked on the rear
panel of the switch (see p. 7).
The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number it is connected to. For
example, a computer connected to CPU port 3 has a Port ID of 3.
The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM, USB hub, and audio
focus with the Hotkey port selection method (see p. 13, for details).
