Chapter 3
Basic Operation
Hot Plugging
The Master View CS428 supports hot plugging - components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the KVM ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work properly, however, these procedures must be followed:
1.When hot plugging cables from the KVM ports the cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
2.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.
3.If there is no response to mouse and/or keyboard after you plug the mouse back in, perform a K/M Reset by inserting a thin pointed object into the Reset receptacle on the unit's front panel and gently pushing.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off any of the Master View units, before starting it back up you must do the following:
1.Shut down all the computers that are attached to the unit, as well as all the Second Stage Master Views that are cascaded down from it and all the computers that are connected to the stations that you shut down.
Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function that are connected to the shut down Master Views. Otherwise, the switches will still receive power from the computers.
2.Wait 10 seconds, then restart the CS428.
Note: When the CS428 comes up it issues a long beep, and the Consoles are automatically logged out. Each Console logout produces a short beep - so you will hear one long and four short beeps.
3.Restart the Second Stage Master Views.
4.After all the Master View's are up, power On the computers.
