Installation

This section will guide you through the hardware installation of your KVM switch.

Please read through this section carefully and complete each step in the order listed.

1. Make sure all computers and devices are powered o.

2. Connect your KVM module to your 1UCABCONS17 or 1UCABCONS19 as directed in

their user guides.

3. Attach each of your managed computers to your StarView KVM console’s PC ports

using ultra-thin KVM cables. The CAB831HD and CAB1631HD are capable of using

either 2-in-1 USB or 3-in-1 PS/2 cables. Use the cables to connect one of the PC ports

on the back of the switch to the computer’s keyboard, mouse, and video ports. Note:

These instructions are for a single KVM switch only. For information on cascading

multiple KVMs, see Cascade Conguration below.

4. Turn on computers.

NOTE: After the initial power up, you can hot-plug additional computers or slave KVM

switches without having to power down your KVM.

Cascade Conguration

You can connect a second level of KVMs to one or more of your Master KVM switch’s

PC ports. The KVM switches connected to the Master switch are know as Slaves. Once

connected, the KVM switches will automatically congure themselves as either Masters

or Slaves. You can only connect an equal or “smaller” KVM to the Master KVM. For

example, a 16-port Master KVM switch can have both 16-port and 8-port slaves. An

8-port Master KVM switch can only have 8-port KVM slaves or lower.

The 8-port KVM can support 64 PCs, with 8 8-port Slave KVMs, each connected to 8

PCs. The 16-port KVMs can support 136 computers, with 8 16-port Slave KVMs, each

connected to 16 computers. The Slave KVMs must be connected to the 1~8 ports, not

the A~H ports.

To cascade your KVMs, use a 3-in-1 PS/2 KVM cable to connect one of your Master

switch’s PC ports to the Slave switch’s PC 1~8 ports.

Instruction Manual

Operating Your KVM Switch

To toggle between computers, you can use the hot-key commands, OSD (On-Screen
