Hot Plugging

The CS1922 / CS1924 supports USB hot plugging – components can be

removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from

the USB hub ports without the need to shut the unit down.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off the CS1922 / CS1924 unit, before starting

it back up, you must do the following:

1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch.

2. Unplug the switch’s power adapter cable.

3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.

4. Once the switch is powered up, power on the computers.

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port section on the CS1922 / CS1924 switch is assigned a port

number. (1 or 2 for the CS1922; 1 to 4 for the CS1924). The port numbers are

marked on the rear panel of the switch (see page 8 for details).

The Port ID of a computer is derived from the KVM port number it is

connected to. For example, a computer connected to KVM port 2 has a Port ID

of 2.

The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM, USB peripheral,

and audio focus with the Hotkey port selection method (see page 18 for

details).
