ATEN CS-228 - Manual (Page 7)

Hardware Requirements
Consoles
w A VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitor capable of the highest resolution that you will be
using on any computer in the installation.
If a monitor switches to a computer using a resolution that is higher than
the resolution that the monitor can support, serious damage to the monitor
may result.
w A PS/2 style mouse
w A PS/2 style keyboard
w Microphone and Speakers (Optional)
Computers
The following equipment must be installed on each computer:
w A VGA, SVGA or Multisync card.
w Either a 6-pin mini-DIN (PS/2 style), or DB-9 (standard serial), mouse port.
w Either 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
Use of substandard cables may damage the connected devices or degrade
overall performance. For optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout,
we strongly recommend that you use the following high quality CS Custom
Cable sets:
Computer Connector Type CS Custom Cable
AT (5 pin DIN) Keyboard and Serial Mouse Ports 2L-1701P + Keyboard & Mouse Adapters
PS/2 (6 pin mini-DIN) Keyboard and Mouse Ports 2L-1701P
Cascading to Second Stage Master View 2L-1601P
Note: 1. If your computer uses a standard AT style keyboard socket you will need to
purchase a PS/2-to-AT keyboard adapter (Part No. 2A-106, or any standard
keyboard adapter), in order to plug the cable into the computer’s keyboard port.
2. If your computer uses a standard 9 pin serial port for the mouse, you will need to
purchase a PS/2-to-Serial mouse adapter (Part No. 2A-105; a standard mouse
adapter will probably not work), in order to plug the cable into the computer’s
serial port.
