Chapter 2.

Installation
This chapter explains how to connect up your installation — from a basic single
stage arrangement to a complete daisy chained configuration.

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 still receive power from the computers.
2. To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure that all devices
on the installation are properly grounded.

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. Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into the unit’s Console
Ports.
2. Use KVM cable sets (as described in the Cables section on p.
1-5), to connect any available CPU Port to the Keyboard, Video
and Mouse ports of the computer you are installing.
Note: Ignore the Daisy Chain Ports at this time. They are only
used when daisy chaining additional Master View units.
Daisy chaining is described in the next section.
