The MasterView CS1804 SUN KVM Switch is a control
unit that allows access to multiple SUN systems from
a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Before
the development of the MasterView, the only way to
control multiple systems from a single console was
through a complex and costly network. Now, with the
MasterView CS1804, you can easily access multiple
SUN systems in a cost effective manner.
A single MasterView CS1804 can
control up to 4 systems, respectively. Since units
can be cascaded to three levels, in a full three stage
installation, up to 21 CS1804 Master Views can control
up to 64 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 CS1804 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 MasterView CS1804 installation.
By allowing a single console to manage all the attached
SUN systems, a MasterView CS1804 installation: (1)
eliminates the expense of having to purchase a separate
keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each system; (2)
saves all the space those extracomponents 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.
