Installation

Device Connection

The monitor connected to the HD-DB-15 VGA port of a Master CONSOLE must be capable of synchronizing with the computer's video signal. If you are uncertain about the monitor type, please consult the monitor user's manual. Connect a PS/2 mouse and a keyboard to the CONSOLE port marked with a mouse and a keyboard respectively as shown in figure 3. [NOTE: Only a PS/2 mouse can be connected to the CONSOLE mouse port. The StarView's automatic mouse conversion system allows you to connect computers using serial mouse and control the computers from one PS/2 mouse.]
