KM0832 User Manual

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port on a KM0832 installation is assigned a unique port ID. You can access and control any computer on the installation by specifying the port ID of the port that it is connected to. Depending on where the computer is on the installation, its port ID will have either two or three parts.

Cascaded Protocol Interface Installations

The port ID for computers on protocol interface cascaded installations is made up of two or three parts, depending on the number of levels of cascaded switches:

ŠThe port number on the root KM0832 station

ŠThe port number on the second level KVM switch (if applicable)

ŠThe port number on the third level KVM switch (if applicable).

For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of a child KM0832 that is cascaded from Port 15 of a child KM0832, which in turn is cascaded from Port 8 of the root KM0832, would have a port ID of: 8-15-6.
