1.Port LEDs

Port LEDs provide status information about their corresponding CPU Ports. The top row of LEDs corresponds to Ports 1 - 8; the bottom row corresponds to Ports 9 - 16. There are two LEDs for each Port. The left one is the On-Line LED; the right one is the Selected Port LED:

•An On-Line LEDs light ORANGE to indicate that the computer attached to the corresponding port is powered up and running.

•A Selected LEDs light GREEN to indicate that the computer attached to the corresponding port is the one that has the KVM focus. The LED is steady under normal conditions, but flashes when its port is accessed under Auto Scan Mode (see F7 SCAN, page 12).

•When the B022-016 KVM Switch is first powered on, the On-Line and Selected LEDs blink sequentially as the Switch performs a self-test.

2.Reset Switch

Pressing this switch in performs a system reset. This switch is semi-recessed and must be pushed with a thin object, such as the end of a paper clip or a ballpoint pen. Lights turn on to indicate that the KVM is powered up and ready to operate.

3.Station ID LED

The B022-016’s Station ID is displayed here. If this is a Single Station installation (see page 8), or the First Station on a daisy-chained installation (see page 8), the unit has a Station ID of 01. On a daisy- chained installation, the KVM auto-senses its position and displays the Station ID that corresponds to its place in the chain. (see Port ID Numbering, page 11 for details).
