Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port section on the CS1942DP / CS1944DP switch is assigned a
port number. (1 or 2 for the CS1942DP; 1 to 4 for the CS1944DP). The port
numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch (see page 8 for details).

The Port ID of a computer is derived from the KVM port number it is
connected to. For example, a computer connected to KVM port 2 has a Port ID
of 2.

The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM, USB peripheral,
and audio focus with the Hotkey port selection method (see page 22 for
details)
.
