Three Stage Installation - ATEN CS-128A User Manual

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 in the Appendix.
Note: 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
(unplug the First Stage unit and all Second Stage units).
2. Use a connector cable set (described in the Cables section, p. 3), to connect
any available CPU Port on the Second Stage unit to the Console Port
connectors of the Third Stage unit.
3. Use connector cable sets (described in the Cables section, p. 3), to connect
any available CPU Port on the Third Stage unit to the monitor, keyboard
and mouse ports of the computers you are installing, as shown in the
diagram on page 9.
