Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The Master View CL-1758 KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse (KVM) console. 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 the Master View CL-1758, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner.
CL-1758 User Manual Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accomplished either through a powerful, mouse driven, OSD (On Screen Display) menu system, or by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard. A convenient Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all computers running on the installation one by one. Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports.
Chapter 1. Introduction Features Integrated KVM console with 15"or 17" LCD monitor in a Slideaway™ housing. Slideaway™ housing is less than 1 U – with top and bottom clearance for smooth operation in a 1U high system rack. Space saving technology - two consoles (one bus) controls 8 computers. Cascadable to three levels for control of up to 512 computers from a single console.
CL-1758 User Manual Hardware Requirements Computers The following equipment must be installed on each computer: A VGA, SVGA or Multisync card. Note: The integrated LCD monitor's maximum resolution is 1024 x 768 @ 75Hz (15") or 1280 x1024 @ 75Hz (17"). Make sure that the computer resolution settings do not exceed the LCD monitor's maximum resolution. Either a Type A USB port, or PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports (see the Cables discussion in the next section).

CL-1758 User Manual 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.
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Two Stage Installation Diagram CL-1758 CS-1758 F/W UPGRADE NORMAL RECOVER Note: The Power On sequence requires that all Second Stage units be powered on first. After all the Second Stage units have been powered on, then the First Stage unit must be powered on next. After the Second and First stage units have been powered on, the computers can be powered on.
CL-1758 User Manual 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 512 computers can be controlled in a complete installation. A table showing the relation between the number of computers and the number of switches needed to control them is provided on page 64. Note: Switches cannot be cascaded beyond the third level.

CL-1758 User Manual Closing the Console To slide the console module back in, close the cover and do the following: 1. Pull the safety catches on the unit's side rails toward you and push the module in until it stops. 2. Release the catches; pull the module slightly toward you; then push it all the way in. Note: The reason for the two step procedure is to minimize the chances of fingers getting pinched when sliding the module in.
Chapter 3. Basic Operation Operating Precautions The maximum load bearing capacity of the keyboard module is 30kg. Failure to heed the information below can result in damage to the keyboard module. Right! Rest your hands and arms lightly on the keyboard module as you work. Wrong! DO NOT lean your body weight on the keyboard module. DO NOT place heavy objects on the keyboard module.

Chapter 3. Basic Operation 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.
CL-1758 User Manual Powering Off and Restarting If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the switches, you must do the following before starting it back up: 1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it. If there are switches cascaded down from it, all the cascaded switches and the computers attached to them must be shut down, as well. Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.
Chapter 3. Basic Operation Port ID Numbering Each KVM 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 KVM port that the computer is connected to either with the OSD (see page 29), or with the Hotkey port selection method (see page 41). The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number. It is determined by the Stage Level and KVM Port number of the switch that a computer is connected to.
