[. . . ] It will create 16 open ports for controlling PCs. 3. Plug the Power Adapters into the 4-Station CPU Switches' power ports, then plug each Power Adapter into a power source. Three Stage Installation To control the maximum number of PCs under the Three Stage Installation, you will need to connect four additional 4-Station CPU Switches to your first 4Station CPU Switch, and each of those four additional 4-Station CPU Switches will need four 4-Station CPU Switches connected to them, as shown. This is the Three Stage Installation process. It will create 64 open ports for controlling PCs. Using one 4-Station CPU Switch as a Primary unit and the other four 4-Station CPU Switches as Secondary units, use a Cabling Kit to connect the Console ports of the Secondary Units to the CPU ports of the Primary unit. For each Secondary unit, four Tertiary units will be connected by using a Cabling Kit to connect the Console ports of the Tertiary Units to the CPU ports of the Secondary unit. In this way, the 64 CPU ports of the Tertiary units are available through the Primary unit. 1. Using one 4-Station CPU Switch as a Primary unit and the other 4-Station CPU Switches as Secondary units, use a Cabling Kit to connect the Console ports of the Secondary Units to the CPU ports of the Primary unit. In this way, the 16 CPU ports of the Secondary units are available through the Primary unit. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse ports of your PC(s), up to 16, to a CPU port in one the Secondary units with a Cabling Kit. 6 7 ProConnect® Series ProConnect® 4-Station CPU Switch 3. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse ports of your PC(s), up to 64, to a CPU port in one the Tertiary units with a Cabling Kit. Using the ProConnect® 4-Station CPU Switch Hot Plugging The 4-Station CPU Switch supports hot plugging - cables can be connected or unplugged without turning off the switch's power. In order for hot plugging to work properly, however, these procedures must be followed: · Hot Plugging CPU Ports CPU port cables can be unplugged if necessary without powering down the switch. If you reconnect the Cabling Kit (available from your nearest Linksys dealer) to the same port on the switch, the switch will immediately recognize the PC. If you connect it to a different CPU port, the switch will need to redetect and initialize the connection. · Hot Plugging Console Ports The switch supports limited hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Keyboards and monitors can be hot plugged on the Console ports. When hot plugging the mouse from the Console's mouse port, however, the following should be considered: 4. Plug the Power Adapters into the 4-Station CPU Switches' power ports, then plug each Power Adapter into a power source. You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse, for example), as long as you use the exact same mouse. If you plug in a different mouse, all of the switches and all the PCs connected to the switches must be shut down and restarted. Therefore, a Port ID of 23 would refer to a computer that is connected to CPU Port 3 of the Second Stage (or Secondary) unit that links back to CPU Port 2 of the First Stage (or Primary) unit. [. . . ] Check the Online Port LED for the selected port. If it is not lit: 1) Manually press one of the Select switches to connect to a PC that is powered ON. 2) Check the cables to make sure they are all properly connected. · There has been an improper keyboard reset.
