Hardware Setup

Port Numbering

Each CPU port on the CS-1772 / CS-1774 switch is assigned a port number (1 or 2 for the CS-1772; 1 to 4 for the CS-1774). The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch (see p. 7).

The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number it is connected to. For example, a computer connected to CPU port 2 has a Port ID of 2.

The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus with the Hotkey port selection method (see p. 13, for details).

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off the Master View unit do the following:

1.Power off the switch.

M Unplug the KVM cables from the switch’s rear panel.

M Unplug the switch’s power adapter cable.

2.Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the KVM cables.

3.Plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.

Hot Plugging

The Master View CS-1772 / CS-1774 supports USB 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.
