iv. CS-1804 / CS-1808 User Manual
Overview
The Master View CS-1804 and CS-1808 KVM Switches are control units that
allow access to multiple SUN systems from a single console (keyboard, monitor,
and mouse). Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control
multiple systems from a single console was through a complex and costly
network. Now, with the Master View CS-1804/CS-1808, you can easily access
multiple SUN systems in a cost effective manner.
A single Master View CS-1804 or CS-1808 can control up to 4 or 8 systems,
respectively. Since units can be cascaded to three levels, in a full three stage
installation, up to 21 CS-1804 Master Views can control up to 64 SUN systems,
and up to 73 CS-1808 Master Views can control up to 512 SUN systems - all
from a single console.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. Because the CS-1804/CS-1808 intercepts keyboard input directly,
there is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved in complex
installation routines or be concerned with incompatibility problems.
There are two convenient methods to access any system connected to the
installation: using the push button port selection switches located on each unit’s
front panel; and selecting from menus provided by the OSD (On Screen
Display) feature. A powerful Auto Scan feature also permits auto scanning and
monitoring the activities of all systems running on the installation one by one.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View
CS-1804/CS-1808 installation. By allowing a single console to manage all the
attached SUN systems, a Master View CS-1804/CS-1808 installation: (1)
eliminates the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor,
and mouse for each system; (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 from one system to another.

Hardware Requirements
Console
wA VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitor capable of the highest resolution that
you will be using on any computer in the installation.
wA PS/2 style mouse
wEither a SUN keyboard or a PS/2 style keyboard
SUN Systems
The following equipment must be installed on each SUN system:
wEither a SUN style video port (13W3), or an HDB-15 video port.
wEither a SUN style (8-pin mini-DIN) keyboard port or a PS/2 style (6-pin
mini-DIN) mouse port and PS/2 style keyboard port.
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 the following high quality CS Custom Cable sets:
Function CS Part Number
To station with HDB 15 monitor port 2L-1302M
To station with 13W3 monitor port 2L-1302S
Cascading Master Views 2L-1302M or 2L-1302S
Note: 1. Both cable types use a mini-DIN 8 connector to plug into the SUN
station’s keyboard port.
2. Although either cable can be used to cascade Master Views, for best
performance, we highly recommend using the 2L-1302S.

Introduction
CS-18 4 Front View
1. Port LEDs
The Port LEDs provide status information about the CPU Ports. The ones on the
left are the On Line LEDs; the ones on the right are the Selected Port LEDs:
wThe On Line LEDs light ORANGE to indicate that the system attached to
the corresponding port is up and running. If the LED is flashing, it indicates
that the Port is being used for cascading to another Master View switch
(see p. 8).
wThe Selected LEDs light GREEN to indicate that the system attached to
the corresponding port is the one that has the KVM focus. The LED is
steady under normal conditions, but flashes when its port is accessed un-
der Auto Scan Mode (see F2 SCAN:, p. 16).
2. Port Selection Switches
Press a switch to access the system attached to the corresponding port.
wPressing 1 and 2 simultaneously for 3 seconds performs a Keyboard and
Mouse Reset.
wPressing 3 and 4 simultaneously starts Auto Scan Mode (see F2 SCAN:,
p. 16).
3. Reset
Use a thin object (such as the end of a paper clip, or a ballpoint pen), to
press this recessed switch in to initiate a warm reset. If the switch is kept in
for longer than three seconds, a cold reset takes place.
4. Power LED
Lights ORANGE to indicate that the unit is receiving power.
