Operation

There are three ways to access any computer on the installation: by pressing the front

panel Select Buttons, with an optional Foot Switch, or by entering Hot Keys from the

keyboard. Once a computer has been accessed, the CPU Switch directs keyboard

control, mouse control, and video image of that computer to you as if the computer

were right next to you.

Manual Port Selection

Manual selection simply involves pressing the Port Selection switch on the front panel

of the Master View CS-114 unit that corresponds to the PC that you want to access.

After you press the switch, the Selected LED lights to indicate that the port is

currently selected. To access a PC connected to a Second or Third Stage unit, you

must press the appropriate Port Selection switch on the unit that connects directly to

the PC you want to access.

Foot Switch Selection

An optional foot switch provides still another means to access an attached computer.

Each time you step on the foot switch, the active focus switches to the next computer

on the installation. The Selected LED lights to indicate that the port is currently

selected.

Hot Key Port Selection

Hot Key navigation allows you to select the active PC directly from the keyboard. The

Master View CS-114 provides several Hot Key navigation features. These are:

Selecting the Active Port

Auto Scan Mode

Last/Next Mode

Selecting the Active Port:

Since each CPU port is assigned a unique numeric ID, you can directly access any PC

on any level of the installation using a Hot Key combination that specifies the Port ID

of the CPU Port that the PC is connected to. The steps involved are:

1.Press and simultaneously release Alt+Ctrl+Shift.

2.Key in the appropriate Port ID one digit at a time (see note below).

3.Press [Enter] to complete your selection.

Note: The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number that is determined by the Stage

Level and CPU Port of the Master View unit that the PC is connected to. The

first digit represents the CPU Port of the First Stage unit; the second digit

represents the CPU Port of the Second Stage; the third digit represents the CPU

Port of the Third Stage. For example, to access a PC attached to a First Stage

unit, simply key in one digit that corresponds to the number of the port (1 - 4)

that the PC is attached to for the Port ID.

To access a PC attached to a Second Stage unit, key in a two digit number for

the Port ID (press and release each number separately). The first digit

represents the CPU Port (1 - 4), on the First Stage unit that the Second Stage

unit is cascaded down from; the second digit represents the port number on the

Second Stage unit that the PC is connected to. For example, a Port ID of 2 3

refers to a PC that is connected to CPU Port 3 of a Second Stage unit that, in

turn, is cascaded down from CPU Port 2 of the First Stage unit.

To access a PC attached to a Third Stage unit, key in a three digit number

following the method described for the Second Stage unit. For example, a Port

ID of 2 4 1 refers to a PC that is connected to CPU Port 1 of a Third Stage unit

that is cascaded down from CPU Port 4 of a Second Stage unit which, in turn, is

cascaded down from CPU Port 2 of the First Stage unit.
