Hot Plugging

The CS1922M / CS1924M 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 switch, before powering it back on,

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 switch is assigned a port number (1 or 2 for the

CS1922M) or (1 to 4 for the CS1924M). The port numbers are marked (CPU

1, CPU 2, CPU 3, etc.) 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 Going Directly to

a Port, page 23 for details).
