Users and Buses

 The KN4124VA / KN4140VA support four remote buses. The first, fifth,

ninth, etc., users are all on the first bus; the second, sixth, 10th, etc., users

are all on the second bus; the third, seventh, 11th etc., users are all on the

third bus; the fourth, eighth, 12th, etc., users are all on the fourth bus.

 The KN2124VA / KN2140VA support two remote buses. The first, third,

fifth, etc., users are all on the first bus; the second, fourth, sixth, etc., users

are all on the second bus.

 All KVM over IP switches support independent bus switching. With

independent bus switching, if a user switches to a port that is being utilized

by someone on a different bus, only the user that switched ports goes to the

new port and the new bus – the other users on the original bus remain on

the original port and original bus.

Note: 1. Independent bus switching does not work when Auto Scan Mode

or Panel Array Mode is being used by one of the members of the

bus.

2. If Enable First Rider Transfer is enabled (see page 144), only the

first user on a bus can switch to an un-accessed port. Other users

on the bus cannot switch ports unless there is a bus that is already

connected to the port they would like to access, or there is a free

bus available.

 We recommend that the user who starts Panel Array Mode set it to display

at least four panels. Otherwise, it is possible that the other users may only

receive part of the picture.
