Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the units, unplug its power cable from the rear panel.

Before starting it back up you must do the following:

1.Shut down all the computers that are attached to it.

Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will still receive power from the computers.

2.Wait 10 seconds, then plug the Station back in.

3.After the Station is up, Power On the computers.

Note: If you have shut down more than one Station, power up the highest Station first and work your way down to the lowest one.

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM Port on a KL1508 / KL1516 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 KL1508 / KL1516 has a Station Number of 01. The first daisy chained switch has a Station Number of 02, the next daisy chained switch has a Station Number of 03, etc.

2.The daisy chained switches 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.
