Installation; Before You Begin; Cable Connection - ATEN CS-1742 User Manual

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 computer.
2. Make sure that all devices on the installation are properly grounded.

Cable Connection

To set up your Master View CS-1742 / CS-1744 installation, refer to the
installation diagram on the next page (the numbers in the diagram correspond to
the steps below), and do the following:
1. Plug your Console devices (USB keyboard, USB mouse, monitors,
microphone and speakers), into the switch's Console Ports.
2. Use the Port A KVM cable (the one with the USB connector) to connect
any available CPU A port to the first VGA port and the USB port of the
computer you are installing.
3. Use the Port B KVM cable (the one with the microphone and speaker
connectors) to connect the CPU B port to the second VGA port and the
audio jacks of the computer you are installing.
Note: Be sure that the Port B cable is in the same CPU port as the Port A
cable — both in Port 1; both in Port 2, etc.
4. Connect your USB peripherals to the USB ports located on the front and
rear panels.
