How to Assign a BANK Address

All PRO3 KVM Switches feature a “BANK DIP” switch. The “BANK DIP” switch is used to assign the proper BANK address to each PRO3 KVM Switch.

For a multi-unit configuration, the primary KVM switch (LCD Rack Console) is always set to “BANK address 00”. Each secondary unit must be set to a unique

BANK address (from 01 through 15). Refer to the chart below for “BANK DIP” switch settings.
