Hot Plugging
The CL-1758 supports hot plugging - components can be removed and added
back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the ports without the
need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work properly,
however, the procedures described below must be followed.
Hot Plugging KVM Ports
At times you may want to take a computer off the KVM installation - simply
unplug its cable from the KVM port on the KVM switch that it is connected to.
When hot plugging the cable back in:
1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
2. After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the
First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In).
Note: If the computer's Operating System does not support hot plugging, this
function may not work properly.
Hot Plugging Console Ports
The unit supports hot plugging of the external keyboard, monitor, and mouse
console. When hot plugging the mouse from the Master View's console mouse
port:
You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse,
for example), as long as you use the same mouse.
If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on
the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted. (Refer
back to the note describing the Power On sequence on p. 16, if necessary.)
Note: If there is no response to mouse and/or keyboard input after hot
plugging (or at any other time), and unplugging and replugging the
component doesn't resolve the problem, perform a KVM Reset on the
First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In).
