wA VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitor capable of the highest resolution that you will be using on any computer in the installation.

wA PS/2 style mouse

wA PS/2 style keyboard

PC

The following equipment must be installed on each computer:

wA VGA, SVGA or Multisync card.

wEither a 6-pin mini-DIN (PS/2 style), or DB-9 (standard serial), mouse port.

wEither a 6-pin mini-DIN (PS/2 style) keyboard port with +5V DC on pin 4 and Ground on pin 3, or a 5-pin DIN (AT style) keyboard port with +5V DC on pin 5 and ground on pin 4.

Cables

For optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout, we strongly recommend that you use the following high quality CS Custom Cable sets:

Connector Type	CS Custom Cable
AT (5 pin DIN) Keyboard and Serial Mouse	2L-1701P + Keyboard & Mouse Adapters
PS/2 (6 pin mini-DIN) Keyboard and Mouse	2L-1701P
Daisy Chain Master View Pro Units	2L-1700

Note: The keyboard and the mouse cables have PS/2 style connector at each end:

1.If your computer uses a standard AT style keyboard socket and standard 9 pin serial ports, you will need to purchase a PS/2-to-AT keyboard adapter (Part No. 2A-106, or any standard keyboard adapter), and a PS/2-to Serial mouse adapter (Part No.2A-105; a standard mouse adapter will not work) in order to plug the cable into the computer’s keyboard port.

2.Because of the wiring and the pin assignments, you cannot use a Serial-to-PS/2 adapter at the end that plugs into the Master View. Therefore attempting to use a standard cable extender with adapters at both ends will fail.
