Introduction

Overview

One-Console StarView Switches

The StarView allows you to access multiple computers from one

keyboard, mouse and monitor. There is no interface card or software

to configure. Installation is as easy as connecting cables between

the StarView and your computers. Operation is as simple as

pressing push button, entering hot-key command and navigating

through the user-friendly on-screen menu (available on models with

OSD support). Depending on the model you have, it switches up to 4

(SV431, SV431D), 8 (SV831, SV831D) or 16 (SV1631D) IBM-

compatible computers. The StarView is independent of the computer

operating system.

Two-Console StarView Switches

The advanced multi-access StarView Switches enable you to control

multiple computers from two different locations, remote and local with

two keyboards, mice and monitors. SV832DS controls 8 computers

and SV1632DS controls 16 computers.

On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu

For SV431D, SV831D, SV1631D, SV832DS, SV1632DS

For StarViews with built-in OSD control, you can name your

computers, switch to a computer from a list, configure settings with

easy-to-use menus, and view the name of the selected computer

on-screen with programmable time interval. The OSD displays the

system status throughout operation.

Automatic Mouse Conversion

The StarView Switch enable you to connect computers with PS/2 or

serial mouse ports (using adapters supplied with each StarView

Switch) and control the computers from one PS/2 mouse.

The StarView automatically identifies the mouse and switches to

proper mouse protocol.

Configurations

StarView has several models each supporting a different number of

computers. For applications with a large number of computers,

StarViews can be cascaded in a master/slave configuration to

support even more computers.

Single StarView Configuration

Connect a PS/2 keyboard, a PS/2 mouse and a VGA multi-sync

monitor directly to the Master’s CONSOLE port. Then, connect

multiple sets of keyboard, mouse and monitor cables to the “PC x”

ports of the StarView, as shown in figure 1.

Figure 1: A single StarView configuration

Cascade (Master/Slave) Configuration

You can connect a second level of one or more StarViews to “PC

1”~”PC 4” (SV431) or "PC 1"~”PC 8” ports (SV831 & SV1631) of a

Master unit. Cascade configuration expands system ability allowing

you to select computers connected to the Master or Slaves. There

is only one Master, which has a mouse, a keyboard and a monitor

connected to its CONSOLE port directly operated by a user.

Once connected, StarViews automatically configure themselves to

either Master or Slave. Slaves of different StarView models can be

mixed in cascade configuration. [NOTE: Master must have equal or

more PC ports than that of Slaves, i.e., if SV831 is a master, SV831

and SV431 can be Slaves, but SV1631 can not.]

Figure 2: A cascade StarView configuration

Throughout this manual, Master is the StarView that has a

physical keyboard, mouse and monitor connected to its

CONSOLE port. Slave is a StarView that has its CONSOLE port

connected to a Master's “PC x” port. Slave only exists in

cascade configuration.

Installation

Device Connection

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

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. Connect a PS/2 mouse and a

keyboard to the CONSOLE port marked with a mouse and a

keyboard respectively as shown in figure 3. [NOTE: Only a PS/2

mouse can be connected to the CONSOLE mouse port. The

StarView's automatic mouse conversion system allows you to

connect computers using serial mouse and control the computers

from one PS/2 mouse.]

Initial Power-Up

Make sure all computers and StarViews are powered down

during installation. You must power up the Master StarView

before turning on any other devices.

ꢀ For single StarView: 1) Apply a power adapter to the Master.

2) Turn on computers.

ꢀ For cascade: 1) Apply a power adapter to the Master.

2) Apply power adapters to all Slaves. 3) Turn on computers.

Note: You may hot plug additional powered-down computer and

Slave without turning any existing StarView or computer off after

initial power up.

Replace Master Console Devices

You can replace a faulty keyboard or mouse of the Master

CONSOLE port at any time without powering down the Master, as

long as your computers are booted with proper device driver for the

new device. Should you encounter any difficulty, just activate K/M

RESET by holding both front-panel ‘1’ and ‘2’ push buttons down for

2 seconds.

equal or more 'PC x' ports than that of the Slave, i.e., if SV831

is the master, SV831 and SV431 can be Slaves, but SV1631 can not.

The ports labeled "PC 1"~”PC 8” can be connected to either a

computer or a Slave's CONSOLE port, as shown in figure 10.

The ports “PC A"~”PC H” can only be connected to a computer.

A power adapter with DC 9V/500mA output rating must be connected

to the Master.

Figure 10: Slave console connection

The maximum number of computers controlled by a master/slave

configuration with all SV431s is 16 with 4 Slaves and each Slave

connects to 4 computers, see figure 11. For an all SV831s

configuration, the number is 64 with 8 Slaves and each Slave

connects to 8 computers, see figure 12. For an all SV1631

configuration, the number is 136, see figure 13. The Master SV1631

Multi-access StarView

Overview

The advanced multi-access SV832DS and SV1632DS have all the

features of SV831D and SV1632D respectively. Both models have

two console ports facilitate you to access multiple computers from

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

two different locations, local and remote. Thanks to the high-drive

circuit design, you may connect high quality cables at Console and

PC sides for up to 100ft (30m), a definite plus for server room

applications. Now you can access all computers either in the server

room when you have to physically access the computers such as

software upgrade, or away from the server room for everyday use.

Connections

Connect two keyboards, mice and monitors to two CONSOLE ports.

The built-in PS/2 mouse signal translation enables you to connect

PS/2 mice of different type to the CONSOLE ports, i.e., a generic

PS/2 mouse for one CONSOLE and a scroll mouse for another.

Operation

On power up, the SV832DS and SV1632DS are in isle mode

broadcasting VGA signal from the selected computer and detecting

for keyboard and mouse activity. User LEDs (marked A and B) are

both red indicating the StarView is not in use.

When keyboard or mouse activity is detected at one CONSOLE, the

StarView immediately disables the other CONSOLE from accessing

the computer. Only one User LED, at the front panel, remains lit

indicating the StarView is under user operation. In the mean time,

keyboard LEDs (Num/Caps/Scroll Lock) of the other CONSOLE start

to flash as its access is denied and the monitor is blocked from VGA

signal for security reason. After the user has finished his operation for

a period of time (i.e., USER Timeout), the multi-access StarView

Switch returns to idle mode. User Timeout has four options, 5 sec, 30

sec, 60 sec, and HOLD. Select HOLD when you plan to access the

StarView for a long time. Pressing the <Scroll Lock> twice forces the

StarView return to idle mode immediately regardless of the User

Timeout setting.

The User Timeout is available in the OSD menu by pressing the

Function key <F4>, under the sub-menu More. Note: Keyboard

Speed option is not available for multi-access models.

Configuration

To expand the number of computers under control, you may connect

CONSOLE port of another StarView to “PC1”~”PC8” port. Refer to

the chapter Cascade Configuration for more detail. There are rules to

apply for Master/Slave configuration. When SV832DS is a Master, its

slave includes SV431, SV431D, SV831 and SV831D. When

SV1632DS is a Master, its slave includes all the above and

SV1631D. These multi-access StarView switches already come with

OSD menu, their slaves do not have to be OSD equipped.
