Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The CS-1754 and CS-1758 USB KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) Switches
are control units that allow access and control of up to 4 (CS-1754) or 8 (CS-
1758) computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and monitor
console. They can be cascaded to three levels – allowing up to 21 CS-1754s to
control up to 64 computers, and up to 73 CS-1758s to control up to 512
computers - all from the original single console.
Although the switches use a USB keyboard and mouse for the console, they
support both PS/2 and USB computers. Users have the choice of connecting the
switch to a computer with PS/2 connectors or USB connectors depending on
the cable used to link the switch to the computers. See the Cables section,
page 3 for more details.
The CS-1754 / CS-1758 provides Multimedia keyboard support (volume up/
down, mute and pulse), and is audio enabled. A single microphone can provide
audio input to each of the computers, and you can listen to the audio output of
each computer on a single set of speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis).
There are three convenient methods to access any computer connected to the
installation: (1) using the push button port selection switches located on each
unit's front panel; (2) entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard; and (3)
selecting from menus provided by the On Screen Display (OSD). An Auto Scan
feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all
computers running on the installation one by one.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. There is
no software to configure, no installation routines, and no incompatibility
problems. Since the CS-1754 / CS-1758 intercepts keyboard input directly, it
works on multiple operating platforms (PC compatible, Mac*, Sun*, etc.).
Since a single console manages all of the computers on your installation, a CS-
1754 / CS-1758 KVM switch setup: (1) eliminates the expense of having to
purchase a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each computer; (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 computer to another.
*Mac and Sun computers must use the USB cable connection (see Cables,
page 3).

Basic Operation
Hot Plugging
The CS-1754 / CS-1758 supports hot plugging – components can be removed
and added back into the installation by unplugging and replugging their cables
without having to shut the switch down. In order for hot plugging to work
properly, however, the procedures described below must be followed:
Hot Plugging KVM ports
When hot plugging cables from the KVM ports:
1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
2. The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.
3. After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the
First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In – see Reset Switch, page 5
for details).
Hot Plugging Console Ports
The unit supports hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse. When hot
plugging the mouse from the Master View's console mouse port:
You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse,
for example), as long as you use the same mouse.
If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on
the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted. (Refer
back to the note describing the Power On sequence on page 16, if
necessary.)
Note: If there is no response to mouse and/or PS/2 keyboard input after hot
plugging (or at any other time), simultaneously press and hold Port
Select buttons 1 and 2 on the First Stage unit for 3 seconds to
perform a PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse reset.
CS-1754 / CS-1758 User Manual

Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the switches, before starting it back
up you must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it. If there are stations
cascaded down from it, all the cascaded stations and the computers
attached to them must be shut down, as well.
Note: 1. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the
Keyboard Power On function that are connected to the shut down
switches. Otherwise, the switches will still receive power from
the computers.
2. If the unit is operating under external power, unplug the power
adapter cable.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the stations back in, starting with the lowest
stations in the cascade and working back to the station you originally shut
down.
3. After all the stations are up, power on the computers – starting with the
ones attached to the lowest stations in the chain, and working back to the
station you originally shut down.
3. Basic Operation
21
Port ID Numbering
Each KVM Port on a CS-1754 / CS-1758 installation is assigned a unique Port
ID. You can directly access any computer on any level of the installation by
specifying the Port ID of the KVM port that the computer is connected to -
either with the OSD (see OSD Navigation, page 24), or with the Hotkey port
selection method (see Hotkey Port Access, page 36).
The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number. It is determined by the Stage
Level and KVM port number of the switch that a computer is connected to.
The first digit represents the KVM port number of the First Stage unit; the
second digit represents the KVM port number of the Second Stage unit; the
third digit represents the KVM port number of the Third Stage unit.
A computer attached to a First Stage unit has a one digit Port ID (from 1-4
for the CS-1754; from 1-8 for the CS-1758), that corresponds to the KVM
port number that it is connected to.
A computer attached to a Second Stage unit has a two digit Port ID.
The first digit represents the KVM port number on the First Stage unit that
the Second Stage unit links back to; the second digit represents the KVM
port number on the Second Stage unit that the computer is connected to.
For example, a Port ID of 2 3 would refer to a computer that is connected
to KVM port 3 of a Second Stage unit that links back to KVM port 2 of the
First Stage unit.
Likewise, a computer attached to a Third Stage unit has a three digit Port
ID.
As in the previous example, a Port ID of 2 4 1 would refer to a computer
that is connected to KVM port 1 of a Third Stage unit, that links back to
KVM port 4 of a Second Stage unit, which, in turn, links back to KVM
port 2 of the First Stage unit.

Port Selection
The CS-1754 / CS-1758 provides three methods to obtain instant access to any
computer in your installation: Manual, OSD (On Screen Display), and Hotkey.
Manual
Simply press the appropriate Port Selection Switch on the CS-1754 / CS-1758's
front panel. After you press the switch, the Selected LED lights to indicate that
the port has the KVM focus. The OSD (see page 23) automatically switches to
highlight the computer that you have selected.
Note: 1. On a cascaded installation, you must press the Port Selection switch
on the CS-1754 / CS-1758 Station that connects directly to the
computer you want to access.
2. Simultaneously pressing Port Selection buttons 3 and 4 (for the CS-
1754) or 7 and 8 (for the CS-1758) on the First Stage unit initiates the
Auto Scan feature (see F7 SCAN, page 32), in which all the ports
currently selected for Quick View scanning (see SET QUICK VIEW
PORTS, page 31), are cycled through. The length of time spent on
each port is determined with the Scan Duration setting under the
OSD's F3 SET function (see SCAN DURATION, page 28).
OSD
OSD (On Screen Display), provides a menu driven interface to handle the
computer switching procedure to provide instant access to any computer on the
installation. OSD operation is discussed in detail beginning on page 23.
Hotkey
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select them by
pressing Port Selection switches. Hotkey operation is discussed in detail
beginning on page 35.

Hotkey Operation
The CS-1754 / CS-1758 's hotkey function makes it convenient to control your
KVM installation from the keyboard.
Note: The hotkey function must be enabled to use hotkey operations.
See HOTKEY COMMAND MODE, page 28, for details.
Invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM)
All hotkey operations begin by invoking HKM. To invoke HKM, do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the Num Lock key
2. Press and release the Minus key
3. Release the Num Lock key
[Num Lock] + [-]
Note: 1. The minus key must be released within one half second,
otherwise Hotkey invocation is canceled.
2. There is an alternate invocation combination (see Alternate OSD
Invocation Keys, page 37 for details.)
When HKM is active:
The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that
HKM is in effect. They stop flashing when you exit HKM.
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line
prompt is the word Hotkey: in yellow text on a blue background. Hotkey
information that you key in displays on the command line.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended - only Hotkey
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow), can be input.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit
hotkey mode. With others, you must exit manually by pressing the Esc
key, or the Spacebar.
CS-1754 / CS-1758 User Manual

Hotkey Port Access
Hotkey Port Access allows you to select which computer has the KVM focus.
The CS-1754 / CS-1758 provides the following Hotkey Port Access features:
Selecting the Active Port
Auto Scan Mode
Selecting the Active Port:
You can bring the KVM focus to any computer with a hotkey combination that
specifies its Port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 21 for details):
1. Invoke HKM (see Invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM), page 35).
2. Key in the computer's Port ID number.
The Port ID numbers display on the Command Line as you key them in. If
you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.
3. Press [Enter].
The KVM focus switches to the computer associated with the specified
Port ID, and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
Auto Scan Mode
The CS-1754 / CS-1758's Auto Scan feature automatically switches among all
the active KVM Ports that are accessible to the currently logged on User at
regular intervals (see Scan Mode of the OSD F3 SET function, page 27), so
that he can monitor their activity automatically.
To start Auto Scanning, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see Invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM), page 35)
2. Key in [A]
After you press A, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and enter Auto
Scan Mode.
3. To exit Auto Scan Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar]; or Right Click with
the mouse.
Note: While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse
functions are suspended - only Auto Scan Mode compliant
keystrokes and mouse clicks can be input. You must exit Auto Scan
Mode in order to regain normal control of the console.
5. Hotkey Operation
37
While you are in Auto Scan Mode, you can pause the scanning in order to
keep the focus on a particular computer by pressing P, or with a Left Click
of the mouse. During the time that Auto Scanning is paused, the Command
Line displays: Auto Scan: Paused.
Pausing when you want to keep the focus on a particular computer is more
convenient than Exiting Auto Scan Mode because when you Resume
scanning, you start from where you left off. If, on the other hand, you
Exited and restarted, Scanning would start over from the very first
computer on the installation.
After pausing, to resume Auto Scanning, press any key. Scanning
continues from where it left off.
Hotkey Configuration
Alternate Hotkey Invocation Keys
An alternate set of Hotkey Invocation keys is provided in case the default set
conflicts with programs running on the computers.
To switch to the alternate Hotkey Invocation set, do the following:
1. Invoke HKM (see Invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM), page 35)
2. Press and release the H key
The Hotkey Invocation keys become the Ctrl key (instead of Num Lock) and
the F12 key (instead of Minus).
Note: This procedure is a toggle between the two methods. To revert back,
invoke HKM, then press and release the H key again.
Alternate OSD Invocation Keys
The OSD activation method can be changed from tapping the Scroll Lock key
twice to tapping the Ctrl key twice ([Ctrl] [Ctrl]). To change the OSD
Invocation method, do the following:
1. Invoke HKM (see Invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM), page 35)
