Overview
The Master View CS-82A 4 Port KVM (Keyboard, Video,
Mouse), Switch is a control unit that allows access to two
computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor and
mouse). 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-82A, you can easily access two
computers in a cost effective manner.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate
ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure;
there are no installation routines, and no incompatibility
problems. Since the Master View CS-82A intercepts keyboard
input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all
operating systems.
The Master View CS-82A provides two convenient methods to
access the computers connected to the system: 1) push button
Port Selection Switches located on the unit’s front panel; and 2)
Hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
Master View CS-82A installation. Since a single console
manages all of the computers, the CS-82A setup: 1) eliminates
the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard,
monitor, and mouse for each computer; 2) saves all the space
those extra components would take up; 3) saves on energy
costs; and 4) eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort
involved in constantly moving around from one computer to
another.

*See the note under Cables in the next section.
Cables
Use of substandard cables may damage the connected devices or
degrade overall performance. For optimum signal integrity and to
simplify the layout, we strongly recommend that you use ATEN
high quality CS Custom Cable sets: 2L-1001P/C (1.8 m) and
2L-1003P/C (3 m).
Note: 1. If your computer uses a standard AT style keyboard
socket you will need to purchase a PS/2-to-AT
keyboard adapter (Part No. 2A-106, or any standard
keyboard adapter).
2. The CS-82A does not support serial mice.

Introduction
Front View
1. Port Selection Switches
Press a switch to access the computer attached to the
corresponding port.
2. Port LEDs:
The Port LEDs are built into the Port Selection Switches.
The upper ones are the On Line LEDs; the lower ones are
the Selected Port LEDs:
MThe On Line LEDs lights ORANGE to indicate that the
computer attached to the corresponding port is up and
running.
MThe Selected LED lights GREEN to indicate that the
computer attached to its corresponding port is the one
that has the KVM focus. Depending on the port’s status,
the LED may flash according to a specific pattern (see the
LED Display table in the Appendix for details).
3. Console Keyboard and Mouse Ports
The cables from your keyboard and mouse plug in here.
Each port is identified by an appropriate icon.

Rear View
1. Console Video Connector
The cable from your monitor plugs in here.
2. CPU Port Connectors
The KVM cables that connect to the computer’s monitor,
keyboard and mouse ports plug in here. Each port is
identified by an appropriate icon.
Note: 1. In order to have the console’s keyboard and mouse
control notebook computers that only have one
PS/2 port, you can use a two PS/2 port to USB
adapter, such as the ATEN UC-100KM. Simply
plug the KVM cable’s keyboard and mouse
connectors into the adapter, then plug the adapter
into the computer’s USB port.
2. Ordinary PS/2 to USB changers commonly sold in
computer shops will not work with the CS-82A.

Installation
Refer to the diagram on the next page as you perform the
following steps:
1. Plug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the Console
port connectors of the Master View CS-82A unit. Each port
is labeled with an appropriate icon to indicate itself.
2. Use KVM cables (see the Hardware Requirements section),
to connect the keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports from any
available CPU Port (1 - 2), to the keyboard, monitor, and
mouse ports of the computers you are connecting up (see
the diagram on p. 7).
Note: If your computers use AT style connectors for the
keyboard, and/or standard serial connectors for the
mouse, refer back to the note in the Cables section
on p. 3.
3. If you choose to use external power (optional) plug the
power adapter into an external AC source; plug the power
adapter cable into the unit s power jack as shown in the
diagram on p. 7.
4. Turn on the power to the connected computers.
Note: The CS-82A’s Power On default is to link to the first
computer you turn on.

1. Before you begin, make sure that power to all the
devices you will be connecting up have been
turned off. You must unplug the power cords of
any computers that have the Keyboard Power On
function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power
from the computer.
2. To prevent damage to your installation due to ground
potential difference, make sure that all devices on
the installation are properly grounded. Consult your
dealer for technical details, if necessary.
