ATEN Technology CS-1732 Operation, Hot Plugging, Powering Off and Restarting, Port ID Numbering

Operation

Hot Plugging

The Master View CS-1732 / CS-1734 supports USB hot plugging - components 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.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off the Master View unit, before starting it back up you must do the following:

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

Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function that are connected to the shut down switches. Otherwise, the switches will still receive power from the computers.

2.Unplug the switch’s power adapter cable.

3.Wait 10 seconds, then plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.

4.After the switch is up, Power On the computers.

Port ID Numbering

Each CPU port on the CS-1732 / CS-1734 switch is assigned a port number (1 or 2 for the CS-1732; 1 to 4 for the CS-1734). The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch (see p. 6).

The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number it is connected to. For example, a computer connected to CPU port 3 has a Port ID of 3.

The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM focus and USB peripheral access with the Hotkey port selection method (see p. 13, for details).
