ATEN Technology ACS-1208L user manual Port ID Numbering, Port Selection

Port ID Numbering

Each CPU port on a Master View installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is made up of two parts: a Station Number, and a Port Number:

wThe Station Number - a two digit number which reflects the ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L’s position in the daisy chain sequence. This corresponds to the number displayed on the front panel Station ID LED.

wThe Port Number - a two digit number which reflects the port on the ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L Station that the computer is connected to.

wThe Station Number precedes the Port Number.

wStation and Port numbers from 1 - 9 are padded with a preceding zero, so they become 01 - 09.

For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of Station 12 would have a Port ID of: 12-06.

Port Selection

Port Selection is accomplished either by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or by means of the ACS-1208L / ACS-1216L’s OSD (On Screen Display). Hotkey Port Selection is discussed in the next section; OSD Operation is discussed in detail beginning on p. 16.
