Single Stage Installation
In a single stage installation, there are no additional switches cascaded down
from the first unit. 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 KVM cable sets (as described in the Cables section on page 3), to
connect any available KVM Port to the Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports
of the computer you are installing.
3. If you choose to use external power, plug the power adapter cable into the
Master View’s Power Jack, then plug the adapter into an AC power source.
Note: Under non-powered operation, the unit gets its power from the
computers via the 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.
4. Turn on the power to the computers.
Note: If you choose to use external power, the Master View unit must be
plugged in and receiving power prior to turning on the power to the
computers.
