Computer / Port Selection

You can select the computer you want to access in three different ways:

Front panel push button selection

Keyboard hotkey selection

On screen display menu selection

Port LED Display

The front panel of the switch has two LEDs for each port.

When the LED labelled “

P

” is illuminated

GREEN

a computer attached to this port is powered

on. When the LED labelled “

S

” is illuminated

RED

, the KVM console is connected to this port. If

this LED flashes, the console is connected to this port but either no computer is attached, or the

attached computer is not switched on.

3.1.5 Front panel push button selection

You can select a computer by pressing the appropriate port push button. Each push button

refers to two ports. To access ports 1 to 8 simply press the button; to access ports 9 to 16 you

must push the button marked “

” and the required port button simultaneously.

For cascaded KVM Switches you can ONLY use the port selection push buttons on the

MASTER P16-IP Switch to switch the SLAVES (you can also switch via OSD or keyboard

hotkey).
