Installation

This chapter explains how to connect up your installation — from a basic single stage hookup to a complete daisy chained setup.

Before you Begin

1.Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up have been turned off.

2.To prevent damage to your equipment 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 Stage Installation

In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional switches daisy chained down from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation do the following:

1.Use KVM cable sets (as described in the Cables section on p.

1-4), to connect any available CPU Port to the Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports of the computer you are installing.

Note: Ignore the Daisy Chain Port at this time. It is only used when daisy chaining additional Master View units. Daisy chaining is described in the next section.

2.Plug the power adapter cable into the Master View’s Power Jack, then plug the power adapter into an AC power source.
