Port ID Numbering

Each KVM 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:

ŠThe Station Number - is a two digit number which reflects the switch's position in the daisy chain sequence.

Note: 1. The first station CL-1208 / CL-1216 has a Station Number of 01. The first daisy chained unit (ACS-1208A / ACS-1216A) has a Station Number of 02, etc.

2.The daisy chained ACS-1208A / ACS-1216As have front panel LEDs that display their Station IDs.

ŠThe Port Number - is a two digit number which reflects the port on the Station that the computer is connected to.

ŠThe Station Number precedes the Port Number.

ŠStation 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.
