Users And Buses - ATEN KN1108V User Manual

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.
All KVM Over the NET™ 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: 1. 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.
2. If Enable First Rider Transfer is enabled (see page 146), only the
first user on a bus can switch to an un-accessed port. Other users
on the bus cannot switch ports unless there is a bus that is already
connected to the port they would like to access, or there is a free
bus available.
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.
