Installation

Before you begin, make sure that power to all the
1.
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.
To prevent damage to your installation due to ground
2.
potential difference, make sure that all devices on
the installation are properly grounded. Consult your
dealer for technical details, if necessary.
Refer to the diagram on the next page as you perform the
following steps:
1. Plug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the Console
port connectors of the Master View CS-82A unit. Each port
is labeled with an appropriate icon to indicate itself.
2. Use KVM cables (see the Hardware Requirements section),
to connect the keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports from any
available CPU Port (1 - 2), to the keyboard, monitor, and
mouse ports of the computers you are connecting up (see
the diagram on p. 7).
Note: If your computers use AT style connectors for the
keyboard, and/or standard serial connectors for the
mouse, refer back to the note in the Cables section
on p. 3.
3. If you choose to use external power (optional) plug the
power adapter into an external AC source; plug the power
adapter cable into the unit s power jack as shown in the
diagram on p. 7.
4. Turn on the power to the connected computers.
Note: The CS-82A's Power On default is to link to the first
computer you turn on.
