TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Master View CS-142 CPU Switch is a control unit that allows access to two PC

systems from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). 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 CS-142, you can easily access two computers in

a cost effective manner.

The Master View CS-142 provides two convenient methods to access the PCs

connected to the system: using the push button Selection switch located on the

unit’s top panel; and entering Hot Key combinations from the keyboard. Setup is

fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed.

There is no software to configure, no installation routines, and no incompatibility

problems. Since the Master View CS-142 intercepts keyboard input directly, it works

on any hardware platform and with all operating systems.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View CS-142

installation. By allowing a single console to manage both of the attached PCs, the

Master View CS-142 eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate keyboard,

monitor, and mouse for each PC. Additionally, it saves all the extra space they

would take up, and eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in

constantly having to move from one PC to the other.

Hardware Requirements

User's Manual 3

Console

• One VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitor capable of the highest resolution that you

will be using on any PC in the installation

• One PS/2 Mouse

• One PS/2 Style Keyboard or AT Style Keyboard Plus Keyboard Adapter

The following equipment must be installed on each PC that is to be connected to

the system:

• A VGA, SVGA or Multisync card.

• Either a 6-pin mini-DIN (PS/2 style), or DB-9 (standard serial), mouse port.

• Either a 6-pin mini-DIN (PS/2 Style) keyboard port with +5V DC on pin 4 and

Ground on pin 3, or a 5-pin DIN (AT Style) keyboard port with +5V DC on pin 5

and ground on pin 4. *

* See the note under Cables in the next section.

Cables

Although it is possible to use standard extender cables to connect the PCs to the

Master View CS-142, for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout, we

strongly recommend that you use the high quality CS Custom Cables that are

provided as part of the package.

Note: The keyboard and mouse cables have PS/2 style connectors at each end:

• If your PC uses a standard AT style keyboard socket, you will need an AT-

to-PS/2 keyboard adapter, in order to plug the cable into the PC’s

keyboard port.

• If your PC uses standard serial connectors for the mouse ports you can

use a Serial-to-PS/2 adapter, in order to plug the cable into the PC’s

mouse port.

• Be aware, however, that because of the wiring and pin assignments,

attempting to use standard serial extender cables with adapters at both

ends will not work. You cannot use a Serial-to-PS/2 adapter at the end

that plugs into the CS-142.

Unpacking

User's Manual 4

The complete Master View CS-142 package consists of:

• One Master View CS-142 CPU Switch

• Two CS Custom Cables

• One 6-pin mini DIN to 9-pin D Type - PS/2 to Serial adapter, One 6-pin mini DIN

to 5-pin DIN adapter (for use with PCs that have AT style keyboard and serial

ports)

Note: Because of the wiring and pin assignments, these adapters can only be

used on the PC side of the connection. Attempting to use the adapters at

the Master View side of the connection will not work.

• One User Manual

Check to make sure that the unit was not damaged in shipping. If you discover a

problem, contact your dealer. Read the manual thoroughly, and follow the

installation and operation procedures carefully in order to prevent any damage to

the unit and/or any devices it connects to.

Installation

User's Manual 6

Before you begin, make sure that power to all the devices (Master View CS-142 and

both PCs) you will be connecting up have been turned off.

1. Plug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the Console port connectors of the

Master View CS-142 unit.

2. Use the extender cables (as described in the Hardware Requirements and

Unpacking sections), to connect the monitor, keyboard and mouse ports of the PCs

to the Master View CS-142 CPU Ports, as shown in the diagram below.

Note: If your PCs use AT style connectors for the keyboard and mouse ports,

refer back to the note in the Cables Section on p.3.

3. If you are using a DC power adapter, plug it into the Master View’s Power Jack.

Note: The CS-142 does not require external power. Use of a DC power adapter

is optional, and requires a separate purchase.

4. Turn on the power to the connected PCs.

Operation

User's Manual 7

Controlling both PCs in your Master View CS-142 installation from a single console

could not be easier. Two port selection methods that provide instant access to

either PC are available:

• Manual Port Selection

• Hot Key Port Selection

Note: The CS-142’s Power On default is to link to Port 1. If the PC attached to Port

1 is inactive, the monitor will be blank so it may appear as if the unit is not

functioning. This is not the case. Simply use one of the Port Selection

methods (described below), to switch to the active PC on Port 2.

Manual Port Selection

With Manual Port Selection you simply press the Port Selection button on the

Master View’s top panel to switch back and forth between computers. The Selected

LED on the top panel lights to indicate which port is active.

Hot Key Port Selection

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

instead of having to manually select it by pressing the Port Selection button. The

Master View CS-142 provides several Hot Key navigation features:

• Selecting the Active Port;

• Auto Scan Mode.

• Last/Next Mode

Note: All Hot Key operations begin by pressing and releasing the Alt+Ctrl+Shift

combination. The combination must all be on the same side (i.e.,

LeftAlt+LeftCtrl+LeftShift or RightAlt+RightCtrl+RightShift).

Selecting the Active Port:

Each CPU port is assigned a numeric ID (CPU1 or CPU2). You access the PC

attached to a port by specifying the Port ID as part of the Hot Key combination as

follows:

1. Press and release Alt+Ctrl+Shift

2. Key in the appropriate Port ID (1 or 2)

3. Press [Enter]

User's Manual 8

Auto Scan Mode:

The Master View CS-142’s Auto Scan feature automatically switches between the

two PCs at regular intervals so that you can monitor their activity without having to

take the trouble of switching yourself. To invoke Auto Scan Mode, key in the

following Hot Key combination:

1. Press and release Alt+Ctrl+Shift

2. Press and release 0 (zero)

3. Press [Enter]

Once scanning begins, it continues until you press the [Spacebar] to exit Auto Scan

Mode. The port that was currently active at the time scanning stopped remains

active.

Note: While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, none of the other keyboard keys will

function. You must exit Auto Scan Mode by pressing the [Spacebar] in order

to use the console for anything else.

Last/Next Mode:

The Last/Next feature is provided to enable you to quickly switch back and forth

between computers in order to monitor them manually, instead of using Auto Scan

Mode. This method lets you dwell on a particular port for as long or as little as you

like - as opposed to Auto Scan Mode, which switches after a fixed interval. To

invoke Last/Next Mode, key in the following Hot Key combination:

1. Press and release Alt+Ctrl+Shift

2. Press and release 9

3. Press [Enter]

Once Last/Next Mode is active pressing the left Shift key (LShift), switches to the

previous computer (from the currently active one); pressing RShift switches to the

next computer in the installation.
