Port ID Numbering

Each server on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. Its Port ID is a one
or two segment number that is determined as follows:
 A server attached to a First Stage unit has a one segment Port ID (from 1–
16) that corresponds to the KVM Port number that it is connected to.
 A server attached to a Second Stage unit has a two segment Port ID:
 The second segment (from 1–16), represents the KVM Port number on
the Second Stage unit that the server is connected to.
 The first segment (from 1–16) represents the KVM Port number on the
First Stage unit that the Second Stage unit links back to.
For example, a Port ID of 16- 3 refers to a server that is connected to KVM Port
3 of a Second Stage unit that links back to KVM Port 16 of the First Stage unit:
