Hot Plugging

The 4-Station CPU Switch supports hot plugging - cables can be connected or
unplugged without turning off the switch's power. In order for hot plugging to
work properly, however, these procedures must be followed:
• Hot Plugging CPU Ports
CPU port cables can be unplugged if necessary without powering down the
switch. If you reconnect the Cabling Kit (available from your nearest Linksys
dealer) to the same port on the switch, the switch will immediately recognize
the PC. If you connect it to a different CPU port, the switch will need to rede-
tect and initialize the connection.
• Hot Plugging Console Ports
The switch supports limited hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Keyboards and monitors can be hot plugged on the Console ports. When hot
plugging the mouse from the Console's mouse port, however, the following
should be considered:
1. You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse,
for example), as long as you use the exact same mouse.
2. If you plug in a different mouse, all of the switches and all the PCs con-
nected to the switches must be shut down and restarted. (Refer to the
Powering Off and Restarting section the follows.)
NOTE: If there is no response to mouse and/or keyboard
input, simultaneously press and hold Port Selection buttons
1 and 2 on the Primary 4-Station CPU Switch for about ten
seconds to reset the keyboard and mouse connection.
