Installation
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. To prevent damage to your installation due to ground potential
difference, make sure that all devices on the installation are
properly grounded. Consult your dealer for technical details, if
necessary.
Single Station Installation
In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional Master View’s daisy
chained down from the first unit. Computers connect to all of the CS-128A’s
CPU Ports (1 to 8). To set up a single stage installation do the following:
1. Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into the unit’s Console Ports.
2. Use connector cable sets (described in the Cables section, p. 3), to connect
any available CS-128A CPU Port to the monitor, keyboard and mouse ports
of the computers.
3. If you choose to use external power, plug the adapter cable into the Master
View’s Power Jack, then plug the power adapter into an AC power source.
Under non-powered operation, the unit gets its power from the
computers via the keyboard and mouse cables. If a computer, only
supplies 3.3V of power for the keyboard and mouse instead of 5V
(as in the case of Notebooks, for example), the unit will not receive
enough power, and you will need to use the external power adapter.
