users are all on the first bus; the second, 10th, 18th, etc., users are all on
the second bus; the third, 11th, 19th etc., users are all on the third bus; the
fourth, 12th, 20th, etc., users are all on the fourth bus; the fifth, 13th, 21st,

 The RCM416VA / RCM432VA / RCM464VA / RCM416A support four
remote buses. The first, fifth, ninth, etc., users are all on the first bus; the
second, sixth, 10th, etc., users are all on the second bus; the third, seventh,
11th etc., users are all on the third bus; the fourth, eighth, 12th, etc., users
are all on the fourth bus.
 All RCM Series of KVM Over IP Switches support independent bus
switching. With independent bus switching, if a user switches to a port that
is being utilized by someone on a different bus, only the user that switched
ports goes to the new port and the new bus – the other users on the original
bus remain on the original port and original bus.
Note: 1. Independent bus switching does not work when Auto Scan Mode
or Panel Array Mode is being used by one of the members of the
bus.
2. If Enable First Rider Transfer is enabled (see page 162), only the
first user on a bus can switch to an un-accessed port. Other users
on the bus cannot switch ports unless there is a bus that is already
connected to the port they would like to access, or there is a free
bus available.
 We recommend that the user who starts Panel Array Mode set it to display
at least four panels. Otherwise, it is possible that the other users may only
receive part of the picture.
