CHAPTER 4: Operation: Hardware and Keyboard Commands

4.3.8SET MAXIMUM PORTS

Use this command to tell a ServSwitch the total number of ports in its system (on that Switch and all attached submasters) to which devices are or will be connected. This allows the scan function to cycle correctly with CPUs connected to more or fewer ports than the factory default for this option, which (except for the 2-port models) is the total number of ports on the ServSwitch (“4” for a 4-port unit, “8” for an 8-port, etc.). (The factory-default Maximum Ports for 2-port units is “4.”) Although this command is used primarily for cascading, it can also be used to enable only some of the ports of a single ServSwitch with 4 or more ports.

To issue the Set Maximum Ports command to a single or master ServSwitch (not to any submasters), press and release the left Control key, type [P] followed by the total number of ports accessible to that Switch (from 1 to 3 digits), and press [ENTER]. To save the new setting, issue the Keep Settings command after you issue this command.

Maximum Ports can be set to any value from 2 to 256. We don’t recommend attaching submasters with different numbers of ports to the same ServSwitch; if you do, you might have to count ports that do not actually exist (see Section 3.3.2). Also note that if you are sharing Matrix ServSwitch submasters between two ServSwitch masters in your system, the Maximum Ports value might have to be set differently for each master.
