1.Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch.
2.Unplug power adapter cable from the switch
3.Wait 10 seconds, then plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.
4.After the switch is up, Power On the computers.
Port ID Numbering
Each CPU port on the GCS1772/GCS1774 switch is assigned a port number (1 or 2 for GCS1772; 1 to 4 for GCS1774). The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch.
The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number it is connected to. For example, a computer connected to CPU port 2 has a Port ID of 2.
The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM USB peripheral and audio focus with the Hotkey port selection method.
