Overview The Master View ACS-1602 ADC KVM Switch is a two port control unit that allows access to two ADC equipped Macintosh systems from a single ADC console (USB keyboard, USB mouse, and ADC display). DVI equipped PCs can also be accessed from the ADC console with the use of an ADC to DVI adapter. ADC (Apple Display Connector) is a digital interface implementation that is proprietary to Apple® Computer.
Features M Provides control of two ADC enabled computers from a single ADC console (ADC Display, USB keyboard, USB mouse). ® M Supports all 15,17, 22, and 23 inch Apple ADC Cinema & Studio Displays. M Supports 19 inch analog CRT ADC monitors. M Easy to install - no software required - simply connect the ADC cables. M Easy to operate - computer selection via push button switch. M Supports Mac OS 9.2 and higher M Supports Windows 98SE and higher.
Hardware Requirements Console M An ADC Cinema or Studio Display; or an analog ADC CRT monitor M A USB Keyboard M A USB Mouse Computer Either an ADC equipped Mac, or DVI equipped PC with an ADC to DVI adapter (see the Cables section, below). Cables Because the ACS-1602 supports both digital and analog signals, the integrated (digital and analog) Custom Cable sets provided with this package must be used to connect the Master View ACS-1602 to the computers. Standard ADC cables cannot be used.

Port LEDs M The On Line LED lights ORANGE to indicate that the computer connected to its corresponding port is up and running. M The Selected LED lights GREEN to indicate that the computer connected to its corresponding port is the one that has the KVM focus. 3. ADC Console Port The cable from your ADC display plugs in here.
Rear View: 1 2 1. ADC Port 2 The cable that connects to the ADC port on the computer you are designating as Computer 2 plugs in here. 2. ADC Port 1 The cable that connects to the ADC port on the computer you are designating as Computer 1 plugs in here.
Installation 1. Before you begin, make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up have been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power from the computer. 2. To prevent damage to your installation due to ground potential difference, make sure that all devices on the installation are properly grounded. 3.
2. Plug the cable from the ADC display into the Console port connector of the Master View ACS-1602. 3. Use the ADC cables provided with this package to connect the ACS-1602’s ADC ports to the ADC ports of the computers you are installing. Note: If your computer uses a DVI type connector, you will have to use an ADC to DVI adapter (requires separate purchase). Refer back to the Note in the Cables Section on p. 3, for details. 4. Turn On the power to the computers. 5. Turn On the ADC Display.
