Port ID Numbering
Each KVM Port on a Master View installation is assigned a unique Port ID.
You can directly access any computer on any level of the installation by
specifying the Port ID of the KVM port that the computer is connected to –
either with the Hotkey port selection method, or with the OSD.
The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number. It is determined by the Stage
Level and KVM Port number of the Master View unit that a computer is
connected to.
The first digit represents the KVM Port number of the First Stage unit; the
second digit represents the KVM Port number of the Second Stage unit; the
third digit represents the KVM Port number of the Third Stage unit.
Š A computer attached to a First Stage unit has a one digit Port ID (from 1 to
4 for the CS9134; from 1 to 8 for the CS9138). The number corresponds to
the KVM Port number that the computer is connected to.
Š A computer attached to a Second Stage unit has a two digit Port ID:
Š The first digit represents the KVM Port number on the First Stage unit
that the Second Stage unit links back to.
Š The second digit represents the KVM Port number on the Second Stage
unit that the computer is connected to.
For example, a Port ID of 2 3 refers to a computer that is connected to
KVM Port 3 of a Second Stage unit that links back to KVM Port 2 of the
First Stage unit.
Š Likewise, a computer attached to a Third Stage unit has a three digit Port
ID. A Port ID of 2 4 1 refers to a computer that is connected to KVM Port
1 of a Third Stage unit, that links back to KVM Port 4 of a Second Stage
unit, which, in turn, links back to KVM Port 2 of the First Stage unit.
