Introduction The CS-102 or CS-122 CPU Switch is a controller for one user to access multiple computers. Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system.
CS-104s and CS-106s. One Stage Installation A One Stage Installation enables one CS-102 or CS-122 to control up to two computers, as shown in Fig. A, below. 1. Set DIP switch 4 to ON. 2. Connect the monitor output port, mouse port, and keyboard port of the computer to either of the PC ports on the CPU SWITCH with appropriate cables.
Note: 1. Add a power adapter if the CPU Switch works abnormally. 2. Neither the PC1 or PC2 port of a CS-102 or CS-122 can be connected to a CS-104 or CS-106. 3. For PS/2 users: You must connect a PS/2 mouse, because a serial mouse can not replace a PS/2 mouse. For cascaded operation, connect PS/2 mouse ports of successive stages using a 6-pin mini-DIN male-to-male cable.
Adding a third stage enables one CPU Switch (the first stage CS-104 or CS-106) to control computers directly or indirectly via cascaded CPU Switches (the second and third stage CS-102, CS-104 or CS-106). The number of PCs under control is determined by the configuration.
Operation There are two ways to access any computer on the installation: by pressing the front panel SELECT BUTTON, or by entering Hot Keys from the keyboard. Once a computer has been accessed, the CPU Switch directs keyboard control, mouse control, and video image of that computer to you as if the computer were right next to you.

# represents the port number on the third stage switch that the computer you wish to access is attached to. Note: # is a digit between 1 and 6 for a CS-106; 1 and 4 for a CS-104; and 1 and 2 for a CS-102/CS-122. 4. Hot Key Summary: Hot Key functions are summarized in the table, below: Ÿ...
Port Connects to a Computer Under Scan Mode DIP Switch Setting Scan Time is determined by the DIP Switch of the First Stage* CPU Switch. For the second and the third-stage CS-102/122 units, all DIP switches are set to Off.
For further inquires please contact your direct vendor. Cause Set the First Stage CS-102/CS-122 DIP Switch 4 to ON; for all other (cascaded) CS-102 units, set DIP Switch 4 to OFF. Press the Spacebar to exit Scan Mode or Previous/Next Mode.
