Port Numbering

The Port Number (PN) for a computer connected to the CS-228 is derived from the CPU Port (1 - 8) on the CS-228’s back panel that the computer is connected to. A computer connected to CPU Port 7, for example, would have a PN of 7.

A computer connected to a daisy chained Master View has a two digit PN. The first digit represents the CPU Port of the CS-228 (the First Stage Master View) that the Second Stage Master View is chained down from; the second digit represents the CPU Port of the Second Stage Master View that the computer is connected to. A computer connected to CPU Port 3 of a Second Stage Master View that is daisy chained down from CPU Port 2 of a CS-228, for example, would have a PN of 2-3.

OSD Navigation

wTo dismiss the menu, and deactivate OSD, Click the X at the upper right corner of the OSD Window; or press [Esc].

wTo Logout, press F8, Click F8, or Click the ZZZ symbol at the upper right corner of the OSD Window.

wTo move up or down through the list one line at a time, Click the Up and Down Triangle symbols (▲▼), or or use the Up and Down Arrow Keys. If there are more items than

appear on the screen, the screen will scroll.

wTo move up or down through the list one screen at a time, Click the Up and Down Arrow symbols (éê), or use the [Pg Up] and [Pg Dn] keys. If there are more items

than appear on the screen, the screen will scroll.

wTo access a port, Double Click it, or move the Highlight Bar to it then press [Enter]. Note: 1. If you try to access a computer that has been designated as private (see Private Mode, p. 17), a message appears to inform you that the Port is in

Private Mode. In this case, the screen is blank, and the port can neither be viewed, nor accessed.

2.If you try to access a computer that is already being accessed by another Console, a message displays to inform you that the Port is In Use. The target computer’s screen can be viewed, but you cannot give it any input until the Console that already has control stops accessing it.

3.In a cascaded installation, if a computer attached to a Second Stage Master View is already being accessed by the other Console, that computer and all the other computers attached to the same Second Stage unit are considered to be in use. None of them can be viewed or accessed from your Console. This is so, because accessing any one computer attached to a Second Stage unit ties up the entire CS-228 Port that their Second Stage unit is cascaded down from. Only after the original Console no longer has access - either because it relinquishes access, or because the timeout delay (see Set Logout Timeout, p. 16), has been exceeded - can these computers be controlled from another Console.

wAfter executing any action, you automatically go back to the menu one level above.
