Users And Buses - ATEN KN4164Vl User Manual

Users and Buses

The KN8164V / KN8132V / KN4164V support eight remote buses. The
first, ninth, 17th, etc., 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, etc., users are all on the fifth bus; the sixth, 14th, 22nd,
etc., users are all on the sixth bus; the seventh, 15th, 23rd, etc., users are all
on the sixth bus; the eighth, 16th, 24th, etc., users are all on the eighth bus.
All 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 156), 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.
