CL5708 / CL5716 User Manual

Port Selection

The CL5708 / CL5716 provides three port selection methods to access the
computers on the installation: Manual, an OSD (on-screen display) menu
system, and Hotkeys. Manual port switching is discussed below. See
Chapter 4, OSD Operation and Chapter 5, Keyboard Port Operation for more
information.

Manual Port Switching

Use the UP and DOWN Port ID / Station ID selection buttons located on the
keyboard module (page 8) to switch KVM focus to any port on the installation.
Continually pressing any button cycles through the list of available ports/stations.

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is
made up of two parts: a Station Number, and a Port Number:
The Station Number is a two digit number of the switch's position in the
daisy chain sequence. This number is displayed on the front panel station
ID LED.
The Port Number is a two digit number of the port on the CL5708 /
CL5716 station that a computer is connected to. This number is displayed
on the front panel port ID LED.
When keying in a Port ID number, the station number precedes the port
number.
Station and port numbers from 1–9 are padded with a preceding zero, so
they become 01–09.
For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of Station 12 would have a Port
ID of: 12-06.
