Three Stage Installation
The procedures for setting up a three stage installation are essentially the same as for a two stage installation. With a three stage setup, as many as 512 computers can be controlled in a complete installation. A table showing the relation between the number of computers and the number of Master View units needed to control them is provided on p. 31.
Note: 1. See Notes 1 and 2 at the beginning of the Two Stage Installation section.
2. Master View units cannot be cascaded beyond the third level.
To set up a three stage installation, do the following:
1.Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up, including all preexisting devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2.Use a KVM cable set (described in the Cables section, p. 4), to connect any available CPU Port on the Second Stage unit to the Console Port connectors of the Third Stage unit.
3.Use KVM cable sets (described in the Cables section, p. 4), to connect any available CPU port on the Third Stage unit to the Keyboard, Video, and Mouse ports of the computers you are installing, as shown in the diagram on page 10.
