KH0116 User Manual
Hot Plugging
The KH0116 supports hot plugging - components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work properly, however, the procedures described below must be followed:
Switching Station Positions:
You can switch station positions by simply unplugging from the old parent and plugging into a new one. After you do, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must reset the Station IDs in the OSD. See RESET STATION IDS, p. 29, for details.
Note: If the computer's Operating System does not support hot plugging, this function may not work properly.
Hot Plugging Computer Ports:
In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must manually reconfigure the OSD to reflect the new Port information. See the F3 SET (p. 24) and F4 ADM (p. 26), functions for details.
Hot Plugging Console Ports
The keyboard, monitor, and mouse can all be hot plugged to/from the KH0116’s console ports. When hot plugging the mouse, however, keep the following in mind:
1.If you unplug and replug the mouse (to reset it, for example), you should replug the same mouse that you removed.
2.If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, and then restarted following the power up sequence described on page 11.
Note: If, after hot plugging, there is nos response to keyboard and/or mouse input, perform a Keyboard and Mouse Reset by pressing the Reset switch in (see page 5).
