Set Port ID
When a user switches KVM ports from the OSD, a port ID is shown. The table below explains the choices:
Choice | Meaning |
|
|
Tag Mode | Selects how the port ID is displayed: the port number alone (ID); |
| the port note alone (Port Name); or the port number plus the port |
| note (ID + Port Name). The default is ID + Port Name. |
|
|
ID Position | Allows you to position where the port ID appears on the monitor. |
| The default is the upper left corner, but you can make it appear |
| anywhere on the screen. If the ID Position is Other, it cannot be |
| changed. |
