Port Numbering
Each CPU port on the KVM switch is assigned a port number
1 or 2 for the SV231USBAN; 1 to 4 for the SV431USBAN). The port numbers are marked
on the rear panel of the switch.
The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number to which it is
connected. For example, a computer connected to CPU port 2 has a Port ID of 2. The
Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus with
the Hotkey port selection method.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off the KVM Switch unit do the following:
1. Power off the switch, then unplug the KVM cables from the switch’s rear panel as
well as the power adapter cable.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the KVM cables.
3. Plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.
Hot Plugging
The KVM switch supports USB hot plugging. As such, computers can be removed
and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the CPU ports
without the need to shut the unit down.
