Aten CS1824 [23/52] Port id numbering

Chapter 3. Basic Operation

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port section on the CS1822 / CS1824 switch is assigned a port

number (respectively, 1 to 2 or 1 to 4). The port numbers are marked on the rear

panel of the switch (see page 7 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).
