A computer attached to the first level KVM has a two digit Port ID. For example 03 would refer to the computer connected to the port #3 on the KVM.

A computer attached to the 2nd level cascaded KVM has a four digit Port ID. For example, 03-08 would refer to the computer connected to the port #8 on the 2nd level KVM which is connected to the port #3 of the 1st level KVM.

A computer attached to the 3rd level cascaded KVM has a six digit PORT ID. For example, 03-02-07 would refer to the computer connected to the port #7 on 3rd level KVM which is connected to the port #2 of the 2nd level KVM, which connected to the port #3 of the 1st level KVM.
