Two Stage Installation
To control even more computers, up to eight additional Master View CS-1758
units can be cascaded from the KVM ports of the First Stage unit. The cascaded
Master Views that connect back to the First Stage unit are considered Second
Stage units. As many as 64 computers can be controlled in a complete two
stage installation. A table showing the relation between the number of
computers and the number of units needed to control them is provided on
page 64.
To set up a two stage installation, refer to the Two Stage Installation diagram
on the next page as you 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 USB KVM cable set (see Cables, page 4), to connect any available
KVM Port on the First Stage unit to the Console ports of the Second Stage
unit.
Note: Plug the USB connector into the USB port next to the Console
SPHD port (they are both marked with a similar icon to remind you
of the correct USB port).
3. Using a KVM cable set (see Cables, page 4), plug the custom SPHD
connector into any available KVM Port on the switch.
Note: The CL-1758 does not support the audio features of audio enabled
KVM switches.
4. At the other end of the cable:
a) For a USB connection (see p. 12), plug the USB and video connectors
into their respective ports on the computer.
b) For a PS/2 connection (see p. 12), plug the keyboard, mouse, and video
connectors into their respective ports on the computer.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other computers you are connecting up.
6. For each Second Stage unit, plug the power adapter cable into its Power
Jack, then plug the power adapter into an AC source.
7. Power On the First Stage unit.
8. Turn on the power to all the computers.
