2. To access a PC attached to Port 3 of a Two Stage installation, where the PC
is attached to Port 3 of a Second Stage (or Secondary) unit that is cascad-
ed down from Port 2 of the First Stage (or Primary) unit, key in 23 for the
Port ID, as follows:
[CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] + 2 + 3 + [ENTER]
3. To access a PC attached to Port 1 of a Three Stage installation, where the
PC is attached to Port 1 of a Third Stage (or Tertiary) unit that is cascaded
down from Port 4 of a Second Stage (or Secondary) unit, which, in turn, is
cascaded down from Port 2 of the First Stage (or Primary) unit, key in 241
for the Port ID, as follows:
[CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] + 2 + 4 + 1 + [ENTER]

• Overview
Each CPU port on an 8-Station KVM Switch is assigned a unique Port ID. You
can directly access any PC on any level of the installation by specifying the Port
ID of the CPU Port that the PC is connected to - either with HotKey navigation
or from the OSD (as shown in Using the OSD Function).
The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number that is determined by the Stage
Level and the CPU Port number of the 8-Station KVM Switch where the PC is
connected. The first digit represents the CPU Port number of the First Stage (or
Primary) unit; the second digit represents the CPU Port number of the Second
Stage (or Secondary) unit; the third digit represents the CPU Port number of
the Third Stage (or Tertiary) unit.
For example, a PC attached to a First Stage (or Primary) unit has a one digit
Port ID (from 1 to 8), that corresponds to the CPU Port number where the PC
is connected.
A PC attached to a Second Stage (or Secondary) unit has a two digit Port ID.
The first digit represents the CPU Port number on the First Stage (or Primary)
unit that the Second Stage (or Secondary) unit links back to; the second digit
represents the CPU Port number on the Second Stage (or Secondary) unit
where the PC is connected. Therefore, a Port ID of 23 would refer to a com-
puter that is connected to CPU Port 3 of the Second Stage (or Secondary) unit
that links back to CPU Port 2 of the First Stage (or Primary) unit.
Likewise, a computer attached to a Third Stage (or Tertiary) unit has a three
digit Port ID. One with a Port ID of 241 would be connected to CPU Port 1 of
a Third Stage (or Tertiary) unit, that links back to CPU Port 4 of a Second
Stage (or Secondary) unit, which, in turn, links back to CPU Port 2 of the First
Stage (or Primary) unit.
