Three Stage Installation
The procedures for setting up a three stage installation are essentially the same
as for a two stage installation. With a three stage setup, as many as 64 (CS9134)
or 512 (CS9138) computers can be controlled in a complete installation. A
table showing the relation between the number of computers and the number
of Master View units needed to control them is provided in the Appendix.
Note: Master View units cannot be cascaded beyond the third level.
To set up a three stage installation, do the following:
1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up,
including all preexisting devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2. Use a KVM cable set (see Cables, page 3), to connect any available KVM
Port on the Second Stage unit to the Console Port connectors of the Third
Stage unit.
3. Use KVM cable sets (see Cables, page 3), to connect any available KVM
port on the Third Stage unit to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports of the
computers you are installing, as shown in the diagram on page 13.
4. Plug the power adapter cable into the Master View's Power Jack, then plug
the adapter into an AC power source.
Note: Repeat the above steps for any other Third Stage units you wish to
connect.
5. Plug in the power adapters for all the Second Stage Master View units.
6. Plug in the power adapter for the First Stage Master View unit.
7. Turn on the power to all the computers.
Note: The Power On sequence requires that all Third Stage units be
powered on first. After they are all on, the Second Stage units must
be powered on next. After all the Second Stage units are on, the First
Stage unit must be powered on. Only after all the Master Views have
been powered on in this sequence, can the computers be powered
on.
