ATEN CL-1208 - Manual (Page 30)

Hot Plugging
The CL-1208 / CL-1216 supports hot plugging - components can be
removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables
from the ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot
plugging to work properly, however, the procedures described below must
be followed:
Switching Station Positions
You can switch station positions by simply unplugging from the old parent
and plugging into a new one. After you do, in order for the OSD menus to
correspond to the change, you must reset the Station IDs in the OSD. See
RESET STATION IDS, p. 35, for details.
Hot Plugging CPU Ports
In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must manually
reconfigure the OSD to reflect the new Port information. See the F3 SET (p.
30) and F4 ADM (p. 32), functions for details.
Note: If the computer’s Operating System does not support hot plugging,
this function may not work properly.
