Aten CS1764A [25/54] Port id numbering

Chapter 3. Basic Operation

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port section on the CS1762A / CS1764A switch is assigned a port

number. (1 or 2 for the CS1762

A; 1 to 4 for the CS1764A). The port numbers

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

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 20 for

details).
