6.4 Port ID Numbering
Each CPU port in an installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is made up of two parts:
a Station Number, and a Port Number:
• The Station Number is a two-digit number that identifies the switch's position in the daisy
chain sequence. This corresponds to the number displayed on the front panel Station ID LED.
• The Port Number is a two-digit number which identifies the port number that the computer is
connected to.
• The Station Number precedes the Port Number.
• Station and Port numbers are always 2 digits, so 1 - 9 becomes 01 - 09 (e.g., a computer
attached to Port 7 of Station 15 has a Port ID of 15-07).
6.5 Selecting the Active Port
You can directly access a port by doing the following:
Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] combination
1) Enter the Port ID
The Port ID numbers appear on the Command Line as they are entered. To correct a mistake,
use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.
2) Press [Enter]
Once [Enter] has been pressed, the KVM switches to the designated computer and you
automatically exit the Hotkey Mode.
6.6 Auto Scanning
When in the Auto Scan mode, the KVM automatically sequences through all the active CPU Ports
that are accessible to the currently logged on User (see Scan/Skip Mode of the OSD F3 SET
menu, page 16).
6.7 Setting the Scan Interval
The amount of time the KVM remains on each port during Auto Scan is set using the Scan
Duration setting in the OSD's F3 SET menu (see page 16). The scan interval defaults at
5 seconds. The scan interval can be changed prior to activating Hotkey Auto Scanning by
performing the following:
1) Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] combination
2) Key in [T] [n]
[T] is the letter T, and [n] is a number from 1-255 that represents the number of seconds for
the scan interval. The letter T and the numbers display on the Command Line as you key them
in. To correct a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.
3) Press [Enter]
After you press [Enter], the scan interval is set to the time frame entered.
