Hot Plugging

The Master View Pro supports hot plugging - components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the CPU ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work properly, however, these procedures must be followed:

wHot Plugging CPU Ports:

When hot plugging cables from the CPU ports:

1.The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.

2.After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the First Stage unit by simultaneously pressing the Port1 / Port2 button combination for three seconds.

wHot Plugging Console Ports:

When hot plugging the mouse from the Master View’s console mouse port:

1.You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse, for example), as long as you use the same mouse.

2.If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted according to the directions in Step 6 of the Daisy Chaining section, above.

Powering Off and Restarting

If, for some reason, it is necessary to Power Off one of the Master View Pro units, before starting it back up you must do the following:

1.Shut down all the computers that are attached to it, as well as all the stations and all the computers that are daisy chained down from it (all the child stations and the computers attached to them).

2.Wait 10 seconds, then plug the Master View Pro stations back in, starting with the last station in the chain and working back to the station you originally shut down.

3.After all the Master View Pro stations are up, power On the computers, starting with the ones attached to the last station in the chain and working back to the station you originally shut down.

Note: It is not necessary to shut down and restart any of the stations or computers above the station you powered off.
