Overview
The Master View ACS-1208L and ACS-1216L KVM Switches are control units that
allow access to multiple computers from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and
monitor). Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control
multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and
costly network system. Now, with the Master View ACS-1208L and ACS-1216L,
you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner.
A single Master View ACS-1208L or ACS-1216L can control up to 8 or 16
computers, respectively. As many as 31 additional Master View ACS-1216 units
can be daisy chained to each other, so that up to 512 computers can all be
controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console.
The Master View ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L offers a space-saving, streamlined
approach to KVM switch technology by integrating a keyboard, LCD monitor,
and trackball in a 1U high Slideawayhousing for convenient rack mounting.
Slide the KVM module section out; flip the cover up; and you are ready to go to
work. The LCD display is built into the cover; the keyboard and trackball are
built into the base. When finished, simply flip the cover down and slide the KVM
module away.
For further convenience, the ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L features high density 15
pin connectors instead of the usual 25 pin connectors. This space-saving
innovation allows a full, 16 port switch to be installed in a 1U system rack.
Because of its modular design, the KVM section can be detached from the
switch section. If you ever need to expand your connections, you can remove
the 8 port Switch module; and replace it with a 16 port Switch module.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. Because the ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L 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.
Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accomplished
either by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or by means of a
powerful menu driven OSD (On Screen Display) system. A convenient Auto
Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of
all computers running on the installation one by one.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View
ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L installation. By using the Master View ACS-1208L /
ACS-1216L with its Slideawayconsole, to manage your installation, you: (1)
eliminate the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor, and
mouse for each computer; (2) save all the space those extra components would
take up; (3) save the space that a keyboard, monitor, and mouse would take
with a standard KVM switch; (4) save on energy costs; and (5) eliminate the
inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one
computer to another.

correspond to the change, you must reset the OSD. See RESET STATION
IDS, p. 24, for details.
Note: If the computer’s Operating System does not support hot plugging,
this function may not work properly.
MHot Plugging CPU Ports:
In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must manually
reconfigure the OSD information for the new Port information. See the F3
SET (p. 20) and F4 ADM (p. 22), functions for details.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the Master View units, before
starting it back up you must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the Master View back in.
3. After the Master View is up, Power On the computers.
Note: If you have shut down more than one Station, power up the highest
Station first and work your way down to the lowest one.

10 ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L User Manual

Port ID Numbering
Each CPU port on a Master View installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The
Port ID is made up of two parts: a Station Number, and a Port Number:
wThe Station Number - a two digit number which reflects the ACS-1208L /
ACS-1216L’s position in the daisy chain sequence. This corresponds to the
number displayed on the front panel Station ID LED.
wThe Port Number - a two digit number which reflects the port on the
ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L Station that the computer is connected to.
wThe Station Number precedes the Port Number.
wStation and Port numbers from 1 - 9 are padded with a preceding zero, so
they become 01 - 09.
For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of Station 12 would have a Port ID
of: 12-06.
Port Selection
Port Selection is accomplished either by entering Hotkey combinations from the
keyboard, or by means of the ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L’s OSD (On Screen
Display). Hotkey Port Selection is discussed in the next section; OSD Operation
is discussed in detail beginning on p. 16.

OSD Operation
OSD Overview
The On Screen Display (OSD) is used to handle all computer control and
switching procedures. All procedures start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up
the Main Menu, tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.
Note: You can optionally change the Hotkey to the Ctrl key (see OSD Hotkey,
p. 20), in which case you would tap [Ctrl] twice. With this method, the
[Ctrl] keys must be on the same side (both left, or both right).
The OSD incorporates a two level (Administrator / User) password system. Before
the OSD Main Screen comes up, a dialog box appears that asks you to provide
your password. If the password function has been set, you must provide the
password in order to access the OSD Main Screen.
If this is the first time that the OSD is being run, or if the password function has
not been set, simply press [Enter]. The OSD Main Screen comes up in
Administrator Mode. In this mode, you have administrator privileges, with
access to all Administrator and User functions, and can set up operations
(including password authorization for the future), as you would like.
When you invoke the OSD, a screen similar to the one below appears:
Note: 1. The diagram depicts the Administrator’s Main Screen. The User Main
Screen does not show the F4 and F6 functions, since these are reserved
for the Administrator and can’t be accessed by ordinary Users.
2. OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same
position it was in the last time it was closed.
3. Only the ports that have been set accessible by the Administrator for
the currently logged in User are visible (see SET ACCESSIBLE
PORTS, p. 24, for details).
