Port ID Numbering

Each CPU port on a Master View installation is assigned a unique Port ID.
The Port ID is made up of two parts: a two-digit Station Number, and a
two-digit Port Number:

M The Station Number - reflects the switch’s position in the daisy

chain sequence. This corresponds to the number displayed on the
front panel Station ID LED.

M The Port Number - reflects the port on the Station that the

computer is connected to.

M The Station Number precedes the Port Number.
M Station and Port numbers from 1 - 9 are padded with a preceding

zero, so they become 01 - 09.

For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of Station 12 would have
a Port ID of: 12-06.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the switches, unplug its
power adapter cable from the power jack. Before starting it back up you
must do the following:

1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it.

Note: Unplug the power cords of any computers that have the

Keyboard Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will
still receive power from the computers.

2. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the Master View back in.

3. After the ACS-1208A / ACS-1216A is up, Power On the computers.

Note: If you have shut down more than one Station, power up the

highest Station first and work your way down to the lowest one.
