Installation

1.Important safety information regarding the placement of this device is provided on page iv. Please review it before proceeding.

2.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.

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

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 page 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.

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

4.Turn on the power to the computers.
