Installation

Before you Begin

1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting
up have been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of
any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.
Otherwise, the switch will receive power from the system.
2. To prevent damage to your equipment due to ground potential
difference, make sure that all devices on the installation are properly
grounded. Consult your dealer for technical details, if necessary.

Single Station Installation

The most basic installation is a Single Stage installation, in which no additional
Master View' s are cascaded down from the first unit. To set up a single stage
installation do the following:
1. Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into the unit' s Console Ports.
2. In a Single Stage Installation, PCs connect to all of the Master View' s CPU
ports (1 - 4 for the CS-9134; 1 - 8 for the CS-9138). Use connector cable sets
(as described in the Cables section on p. 4), to connect the monitor,
keyboard and mouse ports of the computers to any available Master View
CPU Port.
3. If you choose to use external power, plug the power adapter into an AC
power source, then plug the cable into the Master View' s Power Jack.
The unit is designed for non-powered operation in a single stage
installation by taking its power from the computers via the keyboard
and mouse cables. If a computer, only supplies 3.3V of power
instead of 5V for the keyboard and mouse (as in the case of
Notebooks, for example), the unit will not receive enough power,
and you will need to use the external power adapter.
4. Turn on the power to the computers.
Note: If you choose to use external power, the unit must be plugged in and
receiving power prior to turning on the power to the computers.
