Operation; Manual Port Selection; Hot Key Port Selection - ATEN MASTER VIEW CS-142 User Manual

Operation

Controlling both PCs in your Master View CS-142 installation from a single console
could not be easier. Two port selection methods that provide instant access to
either PC are available:

• Manual Port Selection

• Hot Key Port Selection

Note: The CS-142's Power On default is to link to Port 1. If the PC attached to Por t
1 is inactive, the monitor will be blank so it may appear as if the unit is not
functioning. This is not the case. Simply use one of the Po rt Selection
methods (described below), to switch to the active PC on Port 2.
Manual Port Selection
With Manual Po rt Selection you simply press the Po rt Selection button on the
Master View's top panel to switch back and forth between computers. The Selected
LED on the top panel lights to indicate which port is active.
Hot Key Port Selection
Hot Key navigation allows you to select the active PC directly from the keyboard,
instead of having to manually select it by pressing the Port Selection button. The
Master View CS-142 provides several Hot Key navigation features:
• Selecting the Active Port;
• Auto Scan Mode.
• Last/Next Mode
Note: All Hot Key operations begin by pressing and releasing the Alt+Ctrl+Shift
combination. The combination must all be on the same side (i.e.,
LeftAlt+LeftCtrl+LeftShift or RightAlt+RightCtrl+RightShift).
Selecting the Active Port:
Each CPU port is assigned a numeric ID (CPU1 or CPU2). You access the PC
attached to a port by specifying the Port ID as part of the Hot Key combination as
follows:
1. Press and release Alt+Ctrl+Shift
2. Key in the appropriate Port ID (1 or 2)
3. Press [Enter]
