Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch is assigned a port number (1‐2 for 2‐Port models; 1‐4 for 4‐Port models; 1‐8
for 8‐Port models). The port numbers are marked on the rear side of the switch. The port ID of a computer is derived from
the KVM port number to which it is connected.
LED Display
In addition to Power LED, IOGEAR Secure KVM Switch and RPS have Port LEDs (Online and Selected), keyboard lock
(Num Lock / Caps Lock / Scroll Lock) LEDs and CAC LEDs that are built into the front panel to indicate Port / Keyboard / CAC
reader operating status. A Video LED is located on rear panel (of the switch) to indicate the operating status of the video
