Installation

To set up a daisy chained installation, do the following:

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

2.Use a daisy chain cable set (described in the Cables section, p.

1-4), to connect the Chain Out port of the parent unit to the Chain In port of the child unit (First Station Out to Second Station In, Second Station Out to Third Station In, etc.).

3.Use KVM cable sets (described in the Cables section, p. 1-4), to connect any available CPU Port to the Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports of the computers you are installing.

4.Repeat the above steps for any additional Master View units you wish to add to the chain.

5.Power up the installation according to the following procedure:

a)Plug in the power adapter for the First Station.

Wait a few seconds for the unit to ascertain its Station ID.

b)Plug in the power adapters for each Station on the installation in turn (Second Station, then Third Station, etc.).

Each ACS-1208A / ACS-1216A has a LED display on its front panel to indicate its Station ID (the Station ID for the First Stage unit is 01, the ID for the Second Stage unit is 02, the ID for the Third Stage unit is 03, etc.).

In each case, wait for the Station ID to be ascertained and displayed on the Station ID LED before plugging in the next Station.

c)After all the Stations are up, power on the computers.
