Operation
Powering Off: | Port ID Numbering: |
If it becomes necessary to power off one of the GCS1758 units, you must do the following:
Shut down all the computers that are attached to the unit which do not support hot plugging feature, such as PS/2 computers or computers with Novell OS, etc.
Each CPU Port on a GCS1758 installation is assigned a unique Port ID. You can directly access any computer on any level of the installation by specifying the Port ID of the CPU port that the computer is connected to - either with the Hotkey port selection method (see p. 20), or with the OSD (see p. 27).
The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number. It is determined by the Stage Level and CPU Port number of the switch that a computer is connected to.
The first digit represents the CPU Port number of the First Stage unit; the second digit represents the CPU Port number of the Second Stage
unit; the third digit represents the CPU Port number of the Third Stage unit.
