System introduction  
Thank you for choosing the Rose ElectronicsMultiStation PC. The  
MultiStation PC is the result of Rose Electronics commitment to  
providing state-of-the-art solutions for today’s demanding workplace.  
The MultiStation PC has proven to be a valuable investment for any  
business, home, or office that has a need to share a common computer  
between two or more users.  
The MultiStation PC system consists of two Units, a PCI card and the  
remote user module. The PCI card installs in an unused PCI slot in the  
computer being shared. The remote user module connects to a  
keyboard, monitor, and mouse. The PCI card and remote user module  
are connected together with industry standard CAT-5 shielded, solid  
core twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ45 connectors.  
Using the MultiStation PC to expand the use of a common computer  
has several advantages that make it convenient for the users. With the  
MultiStation PC you get all the benefits of a second computer without  
the expense of purchasing another computer. Each user can work  
independently on the same or different application. One user can be  
updating the company’s financials and another user developing a  
software application with no interference. Each user can have their own  
Windows desktop, and share peripheral devices like printers, plotters,  
and scanners.  
Users can share a common modem and both connect and surf the web  
or send and receive E-mail over a single phone or DSL line with a  
single Internet connection. In a network environment, both users can  
share the PC’s network adapter and connection.

OPERATION  
User Operation  
When the shared computer is first booted, the boot-up sequence can  
be seen on the monitor connected to the computer. The monitor  
connected to the remote user module will remain blank until the  
computer fully boots up and the login screen displays. After the  
computer fully boots up, the monitor connected to the user module will  
change from a blank screen to a blue screen and then to its login  
screen. If the monitor remains blank or the boot-up sequence is visible  
only on the monitor connected to the remote user module, refer to  
troubleshooting section to correct the problem. Due to the many  
differences in motherboards, Bios, and system configurations, some  
configuration of the MultiStation PC’s PCI card or the system BIOS may  
be needed to correct the video problem.  
The MultiStation PC, once installed and configured if needed, allows  
two users to independently use a single computer. Each user can login  
to Windows XP or 2000 with their custom desktop, screen saver, and  
Icons. They can run the same application or a different one  
simultaneously with no apparent performance degradation.  
With the computer connected to a network, each user can connect to  
the network using a common network card and access network servers  
and printers. Each user can connect to the Internet using a common  
modem, phone or DSL line and one internet connection.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Keyboard or mouse on remote user module does not work.  
Cable is loose; re-seat keyboard or mouse cable at the CPU and  
the remote user module and reset the keyboard and mouse (Refer  
to Figure 12)  
Keyboard and mouse cables reversed.  
Boot-up sequence appears on the Remote user module monitor  
only  
The system BIOS is detecting the MultiStation PC graphic adapter  
as the main display adapter. To correct this problem there are two  
options, either the dipswitches located on the MultiStation PC’s PCI  
card need to be changed or the BIOS/CMOS settings need to be  
changed.  
OPTION 1 – Change dipswitch settings  
First verify that the two dipswitches located on the MultiStation PC’s  
PCI card are both in the “OFF” position. (Refer to Figure 1) If the  
dipswitches are not in the “OFF” position, shut down the computer,  
set both switches to “OFF” and restart the computer. If the boot-up  
sequence displays on the monitor connected directly to the PC,  
proceed with your installation. If not:  
Repeat the process of powering down the computer, changing the  
dipswitch settings and restarting the computer for each of the  
settings until one of the settings resolves the problem. Settings are  
“ON”, “OFF” / “OFF”, “ON” / “ON”, “ON”. If this does not correct the  
problem set the dipswitches back to “OFF”, “OFF” and try Option 2A  
and/or Option 2B.  
OFF/OFF OFF/ON  
(Default)  
ON/OFF ON/ON  
OPTION 2 – BIOS/CMOS settings for AGP video adapter  
If the host display is AGP, verify that the BIOS setup shows the  
AGP adapter as the host adapter  
Following are several examples of BIOS setups for different PC’s.  
1. Boot your system and enter the BIOS setup. Select “Integrated  
Peripherals” and press enter. Verify that the setting for “Init  
Display First” is correct. If the display adapter is AGP, this item  
should show “AGP”.  
MULTISTATION PC INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

2. Select “BIOS Features Setup”, enter “VGA Boot from”, and select  
the option “AGP”  
3. Select “Integrated Peripherals” and press enter. Select “Init  
Display First”, then select “Enabled”.  
4. Select “PNP, PCI & ON-BOARD I/O” and then select the “Init  
Display First” option.  
OPTION 2B – PCI video adapter  
If your main computer uses a PCI video adapter and the video is only  
displaying on the remote user module’s monitor, power down your  
computer and remove the MultiStation PC’s PCI card and move your  
PCI video card to the slot that was occupied by the MultiStation PC’s  
PCI card. Do not install the MultiStation PC’s PCI card at this time. Re-  
boot your system and Windows XP will recognize the new hardware  
and install it. Re-install the MultiStation PC’s PCI card in the slot that  
was previously occupied by the PCI video adapter and reboot the  
system. The boot-up sequence should now appear on the video  
monitor connected to the PC and not on the monitor connected to the  
remove user module.  
Installation of software causes conflicts with my resident  
programs  
If you experience installation conflicts with startup or resident  
applications, it would be advisable to un-install the MultiStation PC  
software, reboot, then disable these applications, reboot, and reinstall  
the MultiStation PC Software. Once your reinstall the MultiStation PC  
software and reboot your PC, enable the startup or resident  
applications you disabled and reboot again.  
NOTE:  
Consult your Operating systems manual or vendor for instruction on  
disabling/enabling your startup and resident programs applications.  
"Blue Screen" Page Fault Error Message Received after software  
install  
When the installation is completed, you will be prompted to re-boot  
your system. If you receive a blue screen "Page Fault Error Message"  
during the re-boot process, please call Rose Electronics Tech Support.  
It may be determined that your system board is not compatible with the  
MultiStation PC software. This may be correctable with a firmware  
change.
