Hot Plug - D-Link DKVM-16 Manual

Hot Plug

The DKVM-16 supports the "Hot Plug" function for easy addition or removal of
PCs. The user can arrange or maintain PCs as follows:
1. A PC can be disconnected and reconnected to the same or different port of
the DKVM-16 without having to power it off as long as it is not the master
daisy-chain port.
2. When the master port is active and selected, you must switch to a different
port before changing the configuration, and then you can switch back to the
master port.
3. You may unplug the mouse or the keyboard from the console port and plug it
back in at any time.
Note: Some Operating Systems like SCO Unix are unable to support the Hot Plug
function. If you apply the Hot Plug function to this kind of Operating System, it will
cause unpredictable behaviors or shut down the PC. Before attempting to use the
Hot Plug function, please make sure it is supported by your Operating System and
software.
