6.4 Port ID Numbering
Each CPU port in an installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is made up of two parts: a
Station Number
, and a Port Number:
The • Station Number is a two-digit number that identifies the switch’s position in the daisy chain
sequence. This corresponds to the number displayed on the front panel Station ID LED.
The
• Port Number is a two-digit number which identifies the port number that the computer is
connected to.
The Station Number precedes the Port Number.
•
Station and Port numbers are always 2 digits, so 1 - 9 becomes 01 - 09. Eg., a computer attached to •
Port 7 of Station 15 has a Port ID of 15-07.
