Hot Plugging

The CS-1708 / CS-1716 supports hot plugging - components can be removed and

added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the ports without

the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work properly, however,

the procedures described below must be followed:

Switching Station Positions:

You can switch station positions by simply unplugging from the old parent and

plugging into a new one.

Hot Plugging CPU Ports:

In order for the OSD menus to correspond to a CPU port change, you must

manually reconfigure the OSD to reflect the new port information. See

SCAN/SKIP MODE under the F3 SET function (p. 27), and the two Set Port

selections under the F4 ADM function (p. 29), for details.

Note: If the computer’s Operating System does not support hot plugging, this

function may not work properly.

Hot Plugging Console Ports:

The keyboard, monitor, and mouse can all be hot plugged. When hot plugging the

mouse:

1. You may unplug and replug the mouse (to reset the mouse, for example), as

long as you use the same mouse.

2. 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 following the

Power Up Sequence described on p. 11.)

Note: If, after hot plugging there is no response to keyboard and/or mouse

input, perform a Keyboard and Mouse Reset by pressing in the Reset

switch (see p. 6).
