Since the CS-114A intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating systems. There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View CS-114A installation. Since a single console manages all of the attached computers, the Master View CS-114A eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each system.
* See the note under Cables in the next section. Cables Although it is possible to use standard cables to connect the PCs to the CS-114A, for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout, we strongly recommend that you use the following high quality CS Custom Cable sets:...
Introduction Front View 1. On Line and Selected LEDs: M When an On Line LED is lit, it indicates that the computer at- tached to the corresponding port is up and running. M When a Selected LED is lit, it indicates that the port it corre- sponds to is the currently selected port.
Rear View 1. Power Jack The CS-114A is designed to be non-powered (external power is not required - its operation power comes from the computers). In general, the only time that external power is required is when you daisy chain it, or if operation becomes erratic because the unit isn’t obtaining enough power from the computer connections.
2. Plug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the Console port connectors (located to the left of the CPU ports) of the Master View CS-114A unit. Each port is labeled with an appropriate icon to indicate itself.
Two Stage Installation To control even more computers, up to four additional Master View CS-114A units can be cascaded from the CPU ports of the First Stage unit. The cascaded Master Views that connect back to the First Stage unit are considered Second Stage units.
With a three stage setup, however, as many as 64 computers can be controlled in a complete installation. Note: Master View units cannot be cascaded beyond the third level. - 7 - 2001 - 01 -03...
