Hot Plugging
The CS1642A / CS1644A supports USB hot plugging – components can be
removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from
the USB hub ports without the need to shut the unit down.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off the unit, before starting it back up you
must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch.
2. Unplug the switch’s power adapter cable.
3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.
4. After the switch is up, Power On the computers.
Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on the CS1642A / CS1644A switch is assigned a port number
(1 and 2 on the CS1642
A; 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the CS1642A). The port numbers are
marked on the rear panel of the switch (see CS1644A Rear View, page 10, 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 Port Switching,
page 21, for details).
