Hot Plugging

The Master View CS-1754 / CS-1758 supports hot plugging.
Components can be removed and added back into the installation by
unplugging and replugging their cables from their respective ports
without the need to shut the switch down. For hot plugging to work
properly, the following procedures must be observed:
w Hot Plugging CPU Ports:
When hot plugging cables from the CPU ports:
The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was
1.
removed from.
The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.
2.
After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset
3.
on the First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In).
w Hot Plugging Console Ports:
The unit supports hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
When hot plugging the mouse from the Master View's console mouse
port:
w
You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the
mouse, for example), as long as you use the same mouse.
w
If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the
computers on the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds,
then restarted. (Refer back to the note describing the Power On
sequence on p. 13, if necessary.)
Note: If there is no response to mouse and/or PS/2 keyboard
input after hot plugging (or at any other time),
simultaneously press and hold Port Select buttons 1 and 2
on the First Stage unit for 3 seconds to perform a PS/2
Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse reset.
