Powering Off And Restarting; Port Id Numbering - ATEN kh2508a User Manual

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to power off the KH2508
loses power and needs to be restarted, before starting it back up it is suggested
that you follow these procedures to prevent possible equipment issues:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch.
Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the
Keyboard Power On function.
2. Wait 10 seconds then power it back on. If you have shut down more than
one station, power up the highest station first and work your way down to
the lowest one. Wait for each station to display its station ID on the front
panel LED before powering on the next one.
3. After the station(s) is (are) up, power the computers back on.

Port ID Numbering

Each computer on the installation is assigned a unique port ID. The port ID is
a one or two segment number that is determined by the stage level and port
number of the switch that the computer is connected to.
The first segment represents the stage level of the switch (04, for example); the
second segment represents the number of the port that the computer is plugged
into.
For example, a computer that is connected to KVM port 3 of a switch that is in
the 12th position of the daisy chain, would have a port ID of 12-03.
Note: Single digit numbers (1–9) are padded with a preceding zero (0).
