Cables - ATEN Master View CS-138A User Manual

Overview

Cables

Although it is possible to use standard extender cables to connect the PCs to the
Master View CS-138A, for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout,
we strongly recommend that you use the following high quality CS Custom
Cable sets:
PC Connector Type
AT (5 pin DIN) Keyboard and Serial Mouse
PS/2 (6 pin mini-DIN) Keyboard and Mouse
Daisy Chain Master View CS-138A Units
Note: 1. If your PC uses a standard AT style keyboard socket you will need to
purchase a PS/2-to-AT keyboard adapter (Part No. 2A-106, or any
standard keyboard adapter), in order to plug the cable into the
computer's keyboard port.
2. If your PC uses a standard 9 pin serial port for the mouse, you will
need to purchase a PS/2-to-Serial mouse adapter (Part No. 2A-105; a
standard mouse adapter will probably not work). in order to plug the
cable into the computer's serial port.
3. Because of the wiring and pin assignments, you cannot use a Serial-
to-PS/2 adapter at the end that plugs into the CS-138A. Therefore,
attempting to use a standard serial extender cable with adapters at
both ends will fail.
