Port Assignments in OSD
When the Master powers up with the powered-ON
Slave switches connected, you will need to enter
Command Mode (page 12) to view the updated port list.
Port Identification Rules:
1. Index numbers will always follow the
number of CPU ports connected, consecutively
as they are presented by the switches.
For example, with three 1x16 slaves connected to
a 1x16 Master, you will have:
Index numbers
1-16 assigned to ports for the switch
connected to Master port 1.
Index numbers
17-32 assigned to ports for the switch
connected to Master port 2,
Index numbers
33-48 assigned to the ports for the switch
connected to Master port 3.
The CPUs connected to Master ports 4 thru 16 in this scenario would then have Index numbers
49-61 .
2. Port names, by default, will follow the switches they are attached to. If you connect three 1x16 slaves, you will have three
ports named “Port 01”, three named “Port 02”, three named “Port 03”, and so on. (See below.)
For this reason, when connecting Slave switches to a Master switch, we recommend that Slaves be connected
to consecutive ports (the first to Master port 1, the second to Master port 2, and so on). Once they are connected, renaming the
ports to something meaningful for the switches they pertain to will help keep their identities/locations easier to remember in the
Command Mode list.
