Nov aView has sev eral models each supporting a different number of
computers. For applications with a large number of computers,
Nov aViews can be cascaded in a master/slave configuration to
support even more computers.
Single NovaView Configuration

monitor directly to the Master’s
CONSOLE

multiple sets of keyboard, mouse and monitor cables to the “

” (KNV104) or "
PC 1
"~”
PC 8
” ports (KNV108 & KNV116) of
a Master unit. Cascade configuration expands system ability
allowing y ou to select computers connected to the Master or Slaves.
There is only one Master, which has a mouse, a keyboard and a
monitor connected to its
CONSOLE
port directly operated by a user.
Once connected, NovaViews automatically conf igure themselves to
either Master or Slave. Slaves of different NovaView models can be
mixed in cascade configuration. [NOTE: Master must have equal or
more PC ports than that of Slaves, i.e., if KNV108 is a master,
KNV108 and KNV104 can be Slaves, but KNV116 can not.]
