Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off the unit, do the following:
1. Disconnect all the KVM cables from the CPU Port section of the switch
(refer to page 10).
2. If you are using an external power adapter, unplug the switch's power
adapter cable.
3. Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the KVM cables.
4. If you are using an external power adapter, plug the switch's power adapter
cable back in.

Port ID Numbering

Each CPU port on the CS1742 / CS1744 switch is assigned a port number (1
or 2 for the CS1742; 1 to 4 for the CS1744). The port numbers are marked on
the rear panel of the switch (see page 6).
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 (see Going Directly to
a Port, page 14, for details).
