Installation
Device Connection
Turn your computers off. Connect a PS/2 keyboard to the mini-DIN-6 port with a
KEYBOARD icon and a PS/2 mouse to the mini-DIN-6 port MOUSE icon . Then connect
your VGA monitor cable directly to the HD-DB- 15 port of CONSOLE as shown in figure
1.
The monitor connected to the HD-DB-15 VGA port of the CONSOLE must be capable of
synchronizing with the computer’s video signal. If you are uncertain about the monitor
type, please consult the monitor user’s manual. The StarView consumes negligible
power and is designed to run reliably without an external power adapter.
Computers Connection
Now you have two computers to connect to the StarView. Use a male-to-male
Mini-DIN-6 cable to connect from the first PC’s keyboard port to the corresponding
KEYBOARD port; and, use another male-to-male Mini-DIN-6 cable from the PC’s mouse
port to the MOUSE port. Connect your computers VGA port to the HD-DB-15 port of
the StarView as shown in figure 2 using a VGA male-to-female cable. Follow the same
procedures for the second computer using the KEYBOARD and MOUSE port.
