Two Stage Installation - ATEN CS-9134 User Manual

Two Stage Installation

To control even more computers, up to four (CS-9134) or eight (CS-9138)
additional Master View units can be cascaded from the CPU ports of the First
Stage unit. The cascaded Master Views that connect back to the First Stage unit
are considered Second Stage units.
As many as 16 (CS-9134) or 64 (CS-9138) computers can be controlled in a
complete two stage installation. Tables showing the relation between the
number of computers and the number of Master View units needed to control
them are provided in the Appendix.
Note: Mixing different Master View models on the same installation can cause
problems with OSD port switching. We strongly recommend that all
cascaded units be the same model as the First Stage unit.
To set up a two 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.
2. Use a connector cable set (described in the Cables section, p. 4), to connect
any available CPU port on the First Stage unit to the Console Port
connectors of the Second Stage unit.
3. Use connector cable sets (described in the Cables section, p. 4), to connect
any available CPU port on the Second Stage unit to the video, keyboard and
mouse ports of the computer you are installing.
4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 for any other Second Stage units you wish to connect.
5. For each Second Stage unit: Plug the power adapter into an AC source; plug
the power adapter cable into the Master View' s Power Jack.
6. For the First Stage Master View unit: Plug the power adapter into an AC
source; plug the power adapter cable into the Master View' s Power Jack.
7. Turn on the power to all the computers.
Note: The Power On sequence requires that all Second Stage units be
powered on first. After all the Second Stage units have been powered
on, then the First Stage unit must be powered on next. After the
Second and First stage units have been powered on, the computers
can be powered on.
