CS1768 User Manual

Port Selection

The CS1768 provides three port selection methods to access the computers on

the installation: Manual, an OSD (on-screen display) menu system, and

Hotkeys. See Chapter 4,OSD Operation and Chapter 5, Hotkey Operation for

more information.

Use the front panel pushbutton switches to manually switch to a port.

Each port on a CS1768 installation is assigned a unique Port ID. You can

directly access any computer on any level of the installation by specifying the

Port ID that the computer is connected to – either with the OSD (see OSD

Operation, page 27), or with the Hotkey port selection method (see Hotkey

Operation, page 41).

A computer attached to a master unit has a two digit Port ID (from 01–08

for the CS1768) that corresponds to the KVM port number that it is

connected to.

A computer attached to a slave unit has a four digit Port ID.

The first two digits represent the KVM port number on the master and the

second two digits represent the KVM port number on the slave unit that

the computer is connected to. For example, a Port ID of 02–16 would refer

to a computer that is connected to KVM port 16 of a slave unit that links

back to KVM port 2 of the master unit.
