5.2.2 Hot Plug
The KVM Switch supports “Hot Plug“ function for easy addition or removal of PCs. The user can
arrange or maintain PCs as follows:
a. A PC can be disconnected and reconnected to the same or different port of the KVM unit
without having to power it off as long as it is not the Daisy-chain port or pass through port.
b. When the pass through port PC (i.e. The pass through port means the PC port that is
connected to console port directly) is powered on, for hot plug function, please switch this
pass through port to next port (or say emulation port ) and then switch back to the pass
through port.
c. You may unplug or plug the mouse or the keyboard from the console port any time.
N
OTE
:
Some O.S. (Operation Systems) like SCO Unix are unable to support “ Hot Plug ” function.
If you apply “Hot Plug” to this kind of O.S., it will cause unpredictable behavior or shut
down the PC. Before attempting to use “Hot Plug”, please make sure your O.S. and
mouse software driver supports the “Hot Plug” function.
