Enabling Multiview features
1. Insert one end of a shielded DB-9 cable into the Multiview Out port of the first
workstation. This workstation becomes the “Master.”
2. Insert the other end of the cable into the Multiview In port of the second workstation. This
workstation becomes a “Slave.”
3. If connecting more than two workstations, continue linking workstations to one another by
connecting the Multiview Out port of one workstation to the Multiview In port of the next.
The last workstation should terminate the links and only have a cable plugged into the
Multiview In port.
