Introduction

The CS-102 or CS-122 CPU Switch is a controller for one user to access multiple computers. 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. Now, with a Master View CPU Switch, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner. The CS-102 and CS-122 are basically similiar in their functions. The difference is that the latter offers PS/2 mouse ports.

There are two methods to switch from one computer to the other: with a pushbutton switch, or with Hot Keys. Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure or install, and there are no incompatibility problems. Since the Master View intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating systems.

A CS-102/CS-122 can control up to two computers. Units can be cascaded to three levels, allowing the user to control even more computers. A powerful auto-scan feature scans all operational computers one by one and stops upon user requests. The CS-102/CS-122 CPU Switch is ideal for Server, Control Room, Testing, etc.

Installation

Installation is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. A Master View CS-102/CS122 unit can control two PCs. To control even more computers, units can be cascaded to three levels, with each other, and down from CS-104s and CS-106s.

One Stage Installation

A One Stage Installation enables one CS-102 or CS-122 to control up to two computers, as shown in Fig. A, below.

Fig. A

1. Set DIP switch 4 to ON.

2. Connect the monitor output port, mouse port, and keyboard port of the computer to either of the PC ports on the CPU

SWITCH with appropriate cables. 5-pin DIN connectors are for AT style keyboard sockets; 6-pin mini-DIN connectors are for PS/2style keyboard sockets.

3. Use either port per computer.

4. Add a power adapter if the CPU Switch works abnormally.
