Operation

Hot Plugging

The Master View CS-1732 / CS-1734 supports USB hot plugging - components
can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables
from the CPU ports without the need to shut the unit down.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off the Master View unit, before starting it
back up you must do the following:

1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch.

Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the

Keyboard Power On function that are connected to the shut down
switches. Otherwise, the switches will still receive power from the
computers.

2. Unplug the switch’s power adapter cable.

3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.

4. After the switch is up, Power On the computers.

Port ID Numbering

Each CPU port on the CS-1732 / CS-1734 switch is assigned a port number (1
or 2 for the CS-1732; 1 to 4 for the CS-1734). The port numbers are marked on
the rear panel of the switch (see p. 6).

The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number it is connected
to. For example, a computer connected to CPU port 3 has a Port ID of 3.

The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM focus and USB
peripheral access with the Hotkey port selection method (see p. 13, for details).
