Port ID Numbering
Each CPU port on the Miniview™ Extreme switch is assigned a port number (1 or 2 for the GCS1732; 1 to
4 for the GCS1734). The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch.
The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number it is connected to. For example, a
computer connected to CPU port 3 has a Port ID of 3.
The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM focus and USB peripheral access with the
Hotkey port selection method.
Hot Key Operation
The Miniview™ Extreme provides an extensive, easy-to-use, hotkey function that makes it convenient to
control and configure your KVM installation from the keyboard.
