Overview The Master View CS-9134 and CS-9138 KVM switches are control units that allow access to multiple computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system.
Features w Cascadable To Three Levels - Control Up to 64 (CS-9134) or 512 (CS-9138) Computers From a Single Console w No Software Required - Computer Selection via Front Panel Switches, Hot Keys, or O.
Hardware Requirements Console w A VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitor capable of the highest resolution that you will be using on any computer in the installation. w A PS/2 style mouse w A PS/2 style keyboard Computers The following equipment must be installed on each computer: w A VGA, SVGA or Multisync card.

Rear View 1. Power Jack The unit is designed to be non-powered (external power is not required - its operating power comes from the computers). In general, the only time that external power is necessary is when you cascade it, or if operation becomes erratic because the unit isn’t obtaining enough power from the computer connections.
Installation Before you Begin Single Station Installation In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional Master View’s cascaded down from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation do the following: 1. Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into the unit’s Console Ports.
Two Stage Installation To control even more computers, up to four (CS-9134) or eight (CS-9138) additional Master View units can be cascaded from the CPU ports of the First Stage unit. The cascaded Master Views that connect back to the First Stage unit are considered Second Stage units.
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 (CS-9134) or 512 (CS-9138) computers can be controlled in a complete installation.
4. Plug the power adapter cable into the Master View’s Power Jack, then plug the adapter into an AC power source. 5. Repeat these steps for any other Third Stage units you wish to connect. 6. Plug in the power adapters for all the Second Stage Master View units.
Operation Hot Plugging The Master View CS-9134 / CS-9138 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.
Powering Off and Restarting If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the Master View units, before starting it back up you must do the following: 1.
Port Selection The Master View CS-9134 / CS-9138 provides three methods to obtain instant access to any computer in your installation: Manual, Hotkey , and OSD. u Manual Simply press the appropriate Port Selection Switch on the Master View’s front panel.
Port ID Numbering Each CPU Port on a Master View installation is assigned a unique Port ID . You can directly access any computer on any level of the installation by specifying the Port ID of the CPU port that the computer is connected to - either with the Hotkey port selection method, or with the OSD.
Port Key In Examples 1. To access a computer attached to port 3 of a Single Stage installation, key in 3 for the Port ID, as follows: [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Alt] 3 [Enter] 2.
OSD OSD Overview The On Screen Display (OSD) provides a menu driven interface to handle all computer control and switching procedures. Although Hotkey switching still works, using OSD is a great deal more convenient - especially in large, cascaded installations where it is difficult to keep track of which port a particular computer is attached to.
OSD Navigation w [Esc] cancels the current selection, or dismisses the current menu and moves back to the menu one level above. If you are at the highest menu level, it deactivates OSD. w To move up or down through the list one line at a time, Click the Up and Down Triangle symbols ( st ), or use the Up and Down Arrow Keys.
