Aten Masterview Plus 8-port KVM Switch
CS9138
ATEN's CS9138 Masterview Plus is just the tool you need to help reduce the need for redundant hardware. Eight monitors, mice, and keyboards are simply too expensive, bulky and inconvenient for most system administrators. Why bother when you can control all eight, or even up to 512 computers with a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. Just think of the time, space and money you'll save. But the CS9138 MasterView Plus is much more than a simple eight-port KVM switch. Built-in AutoScan mode lets you conveniently monitor every attached computer for a specified amount of time, while the on-screen display technology allows you to assign a unique name to each computer and access it via a slick, menu-driven interface. With its 1U, 19" rack-mountable casing and status-monitoring LEDs, the MasterView Plus is the perfect switch for your server room or any other multi-computer environment.

Answer: No, this switch does not function as a LAN Router. It needs direct access to up to 8 different computers to attach the appropriate cables (VGA and PS/2). Once connected to the separate computers, a single user console (keyboard, video and mouse) can be used to access each computer.
Question: why the monitor is blur and after 3 seconds it is off?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, detailed product support is beyond the scope of this simple FAQ. That being said, it almost sounds like the VGA cable is not fully seated or is faulty, but a number of issues can cause a blurry display.
Here are a couple things to check.
1. Check all of the connections to make sure they are fully connected.
2. Try a new VGA cable
3. Try connecting the monitor directly to the PC
4. Try a different monitor
5. Try connecting the attached computer to a different port or through a different KVM cable.
6. Make sure there is no electromagnetic interference from wireless devices or microwaves.
