Basic Operation
Hot Plugging
The Master View CS9134 / CS9138 supports hot plugging. Components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging and replugging their cables from their respective ports without the need to shut the switch down. For hot plugging to work properly, the following procedures must be observed:
Hot Plugging KVM Ports
When hot plugging cables from the KVM ports:
The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.
After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In).
Hot Plugging Console Ports
The unit supports hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse from its console ports.
Note: 1. When hot plugging the mouse from the console mouse port (to reset the mouse, for example), however, you must plug the same mouse back in.
2.If, after hot plugging (or at any other time), there is no response to mouse and/or PS/2 keyboard input, simultaneously press and hold Port Select buttons 1 and 2 on the First Stage unit for 3 seconds to perform a PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse reset.
