Users and Buses
The KN2132, KN2124v, and KN2140v only support two remote buses. The first, third, fifth, etc., users to log in are all on one bus; the second, fourth, sixth, etc., users to log in are all on the other bus.
The KN4116, KN4132, KN4142v, and KN4140v support four remote buses. The first, fifth, ninth, etc. users are all on the first bus; the second, sixth, 10th, etc.; users are all on the second bus; the third, seventh, 11th, etc.; users are all on the third bus; the fourth, eighth, 12th, etc.; users are all on the fourth bus.
The switches support independent bus switching. With independent bus switching, if a user switches to a port that is being utilized by someone on a different bus, only the user that switched ports goes to the new port and the new bus – the other users on the original bus remain on the original port and original bus.
Note: Independent bus switching does not work when Auto Scan Mode or Panel Array Mode is being used by one of the members of the bus.
We recommend that the user who starts Panel Array Mode set it to display at least four panels. Otherwise, it is possible that the other users may only receive part of the picture.
