Port Note

Type a name in the Port Note field. Port notes may be up to 15

 

characters long. Legal characters include: a–z, A–Z, 0–9, space,

 

and hyphen. Enter a unique note for the port that will differentiate it

 

from all other ports in the KVM installation. The port note will appear

 

on the Port Status and Port Select Webpages, in the KM0832 tree

 

next to the computer icon, and in the OSD.

 

Note: Adding spaces to the port note will cause it to display on

 

multiple lines in the tree in some Web browsers.

 

Š If the KVM port cascades a KM0832, the port note is replaced by

 

the station name of the cascaded KM0832. To modify station

 

names, see Naming Stations, page 46.

 

Š If a non-KM0832 KVM switch or a computer is connected to the

 

KVM port by a KVM adapter cable, the port note can be changed.

 

If the position of the KVM switch or the computer in the KVM

 

installation ever changes, the port note for the new KVM port will

 

automatically change to the port note stored in the KVM adapter

 

cable. However, the port note for the old KVM port must be

 

erased manually.

 

Š If nothing is connected to the KVM port, the port note can be

 

changed. However, if a cascaded KVM switch or KVM adapter

 

cable is attached to the port later, the port note will change to the

 

port note stored in the KVM adapter cable.
