1.Port LEDs

The Port LEDs provide status information about their corresponding CPU Ports. They come in pairs - one pair for each Port. The one on the left is the On Line LED; the one on the right is the Selected Port LED:

ŠAn On Line LED lights ORANGE to indicate that the computer attached to the corresponding port is up and running.

ŠA Selected LED lights GREEN to indicate that the computer attached to the corresponding port is the one that has the KVM focus. The LED is steady under normal conditions, but flashes when its port is accessed under Auto Scan Mode (see page 33).

ŠWhen the ACS1208 is first powered on, the On Line and Selected LEDs blink one after the other as the Switch performs a self-test.

2.Reset Switch

Pressing this switch in performs a system reset. This switch is recessed and must be pushed with a thin object - such as the end of a paper clip, or a ballpoint pen.

3.Power LED

Lights to indicate that the ACS1208 is powered up and ready to operate.

4.Station ID LED

The ACS1208's Station ID is displayed here. If this is a Single Station installation (see page 9), or the First Station on a Daisy Chained installation (see page 10), the ACS1208 has a Station ID of 01.

On a Daisy Chained installation, the ACS1208 auto-senses its position and displays the Station ID that corresponds to its place in the chain. (see Port ID Numbering, page 14 for details).
