ATEN CS-228 - Manual (Page 15)

Port Numbering
The Port Number (PN) for a computer connected to the CS-228 is derived from the CPU
Port (1 - 8) on the CS-228’s back panel that the computer is connected to. A computer
connected to CPU Port 7, for example, would have a PN of 7.
A computer connected to a daisy chained Master View has a two digit PN. The first digit
represents the CPU Port of the CS-228 (the First Stage Master View) that the Second
Stage Master View is chained down from; the second digit represents the CPU Port of the
Second Stage Master View that the computer is connected to. A computer connected to
CPU Port 3 of a Second Stage Master View that is daisy chained down from CPU Port 2
of a CS-228, for example, would have a PN of 2-3.
OSD Navigation
w To dismiss the menu, and deactivate OSD, Click the X at the upper right corner of the
OSD Window; or press [Esc].
w To Logout, press F8, Click F8, or Click the Z Z Z
symbol at the upper right corner of the
OSD Window.
w To move up or down through the list one line at a time, Click the Up and Down Triangle
symbols (
▲▼
), or or use the Up and Down Arrow Keys. If there are more items than
appear on the screen, the screen will scroll.
w To move up or down through the list one screen at a time, Click the Up and Down
Arrow symbols (
éê ), or use the [Pg Up] and [Pg Dn] keys. If there are more items
than appear on the screen, the screen will scroll.
w To access a port, Double Click it, or move the Highlight Bar to it then press [Enter].
Note: 1. If you try to access a computer that has been designated as private (see
Private Mode, p. 17), a message appears to inform you that the Port is in
Private Mode. In this case, the screen is blank, and the port can neither be
viewed, nor accessed.
2. If you try to access a computer that is already being accessed by another
Console, a message displays to inform you that the Port is In Use. The
target computer’s screen can be viewed, but you cannot give it any input
until the Console that already has control stops accessing it.
3. In a cascaded installation, if a computer attached to a Second Stage Master
View is already being accessed by the other Console, that computer and
all the other computers attached to the same Second Stage unit are
considered to be in use. None of them can be viewed or accessed from
your Console. This is so, because accessing any one computer attached to
a Second Stage unit ties up the entire CS-228 Port that their Second Stage
unit is cascaded down from. Only after the original Console no longer has
access - either because it relinquishes access, or because the timeout
delay (see Set Logout Timeout, p. 16), has been exceeded - can these
computers be controlled from another Console.
w After executing any action, you automatically go back to the menu one level above.
