Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on the CS1732B / CS1734B switch is assigned a port number
(1, 2, 3, or 4). The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch (see
CS1784 Rear View, page 6, 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 11, for details).
Alternative Manual Port Selection Settings
Changing the OSD settings will invoke the alternative front panel pushbutton
manual port selection settings as follows (see Table , “BUTTON SETTINGS,”
on page 32):
Press a port selection pushbutton once to bring the KVM, Audio and USB
focus simultaneously to the computer attached to its corresponding port.
Press a port selection pushbutton twice to bring the Audio focus to the
computer attached to its corresponding port (in 2 secs).
Press and hold a port selection pushbutton for longer than two seconds to
bring only the KVM ficus to the computer attached to its corresponding
port.
Press and hold port selection pushbuttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for 2
seconds to start Auto Scan Mode. See also Auto Scanning, page 22 and
F4: SCAN, page 30)
Press port selection pushbuttons 3 and 4 simultaneously for 2 seconds to
perform a keyboard and mouse reset (CS1734
