Introduction

Overview

The StarView SV231 is a computer switch that allows

access to two IBM compatible computers from one

keyboard, mouse and monitor. Switching between

computers is as easy as pressing the push button or

entering hot-key commands from your keyboard.

There is no interface card and software to install and the

StarView is independent of the computer operating

system. The space-saving design enables you to

connect all the cables to the back of the SV231.

Automatic Mouse Conversion

The StarView Switch enables you to connect computers

with PS/2 or serial mouse ports (using adapters supplied

with each SV231), and control both computers from one

PS/2 mouse. The StarView automatically identifies the

mouse and switches to proper mouse protocol.

Installation

Device Connection

Turn your computers off. Connect a PS/2 keyboard to

the mini-DIN-6 port with a KEYBOARD icon and a PS/2

mouse to the mini-DIN-6 port MOUSE icon . Then

connect your VGA monitor cable directly to the HD-DB-

15 port of CONSOLE as shown in figure 1.

Figure 1: CONSOLE Connection

The monitor connected to the HD-DB-15 VGA port of the

CONSOLE must be capable of synchronizing with the

computer's video signal. If you are uncertain about the

monitor type, please consult the monitor user's manual.

The StarView consumes negligible power and is

designed to run reliably without an external

power adapter.

Computers Connection

Now you have two computers to connect to the StarView.

Use a male-to-male Mini-DIN-6 cable to connect from the

first PC’s keyboard port to the corresponding

KEYBOARD port; and, use another male-to-male Mini-

DIN-6 cable from the PC’s mouse port to the

MOUSE port. Connect your computer’s VGA port to the

HD-DB-15 port of the StarView as shown in figure 2

using a VGA male-to-female cable. Follow the same

procedures for the second computer using the

KEYBOARD and MOUSE port.

Figure 2: COMPUTER Connection

If your computer incorporates a serial mouse, a mouse

adapter should be connected to the computer’s mouse

port as shown in figure 3.

(Note: use only the mouse adapter supplied with

the SV231)

Figure 3: Adapter and serial mouse connection

NOTE: 1. The StarView SV231's automatic mouse

conversion system allows you to connect

computers using serial mice.

2. The mouse adapter can only be used on the

PC side and will not work on the CONSOLE side.

3. If your PC uses an AT style keyboard, you will

need an "AT-to-PS/2 keyboard adapter" at the

PC side.

Initial Power-up

Make sure all computers and the StarView SV231s

are powered down during installation. After

connection, power up the computers. The StarView

can be powered from the computers. This procedure

ensures the StarView receive computer settings

correctly when computer boots.

NOTE: You may hot plug any additional powered-down

computer to the StarView SV231 at any time after the

initial power up.

Operations

Front Panel operation

You may switch to a different computer by pressing the

front panel push-button directly or by issuing hot-key

commands. The front-panel red indicator changes to

reflect the computer port selected. The indicator flashes

while in either Auto Scan or Manual Scan mode.

Hot-key commands

Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence to

select a computer or to activate computer scan.

StarView interprets keystrokes for hot-keys all the time.

A hot-key sequence starts with two left Ctrl keystrokes

followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in

buzzer generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key

command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep for error is

generated and the bad key sequence will not be

forwarded to the selected computer.

=To select a computer: left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 1Selects

the computer at port 1. Left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 2Selects

the computer at port 2.

NOTE: Do not use the keypad at the right of

the keyboard.

=To start Auto Scan, automatically scan

powered-on computers one by one at a fixed interval:

left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F 1.

To abort the Auto Scan mode, press the left Ctrl key

twice. When Auto Scan detects any keyboard or

mouse activity, it suspends the scanning until activity

stops; it then resumes with the next computer in

sequence. The length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan

Rate) is adjustable, see below.

=Manual Scan enables you to manually switch back

and forth between powered-on computers.

left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F2.

Press éor êto select the previous or the next

computer in sequence. And, press any other key to

abort the Manual Scan.

=To adjust Scan Rate which sets the duration before

switching to the next computer in Auto Scan:

left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F3.

The StarView generates 1 to 4 beeps indicating scan

interval of 3, 8, 15 and 30 seconds respectively.

=To adjust keyboard typematic rate (characters/sec),

this setting over-rides that of BIOS and any operating

system: left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F4.

The StarView generates 1 to 4 beeps corresponding

to 10, 15, 20 and 30 characters/sec respectively.
