Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is
made up of two parts: a Station Number, and a Port Number:
The Station Number – is a two digit number which reflects the switch's
position in the daisy-chain sequence.
Note: 1. The first station CL1008 / CL1016 has a station number of 01.
The first daisy-chained unit has a station number of 02, etc.
2. The daisy-chained switches have front panel LEDs that display
their station IDs.
The Port Number – is a two digit number which reflects the port on the
station that the computer is connected to.
The station number precedes the Port Number.
Station and port numbers from 1–9 are padded with a preceding zero, so
they become 01–09.
For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of Station 12 would have a port
ID of 12-06.
Port Selection
The CL1008 / CL1016 provides three port selection methods you can use to
access the computers on the installation: manual; OSD menus, and hotkey.
Manual port switching is discussed below; OSD operation is discussed in the
next chapter; hotkey port selection is discussed in Chapter 5.
Manual Port Switching
Press a switch to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its
corresponding port.
Press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for two seconds to perform a
keyboard and mouse reset.
Press buttons 7 and 8 (CL1008), or 15 and 16 (CL1016) simultaneously
