Port ID Numbering

Each CPU port on the CS1782 switch is assigned a port number (1 or 2 for the CS1782). The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch (see page 6 for details).

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 2 has a Port ID of 2.

The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM USB peripheral, and audio focus with the Hotkey port selection method (see page 11 for details).

When Hotkey Setting Mode has been activated, pressing [S] will invoke the alternative front panel pushbutton manual port selection functions as follows (see page 19 also):

ŠPress a port selection pushbutton once to bring the KVM, audio and USB focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.

ŠPress a port selection pushbutton twice to bring the audio focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.

ŠPress and hold a port selection pushbutton for more than 2 seconds to bring only the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.

ŠPress and hold port selection pushbuttons 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds to start Auto Scan Mode, see page 13 for details.
