[. . . ] The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number that is determined by the Stage Level and the CPU Port number of the 8-Station KVM Switch where the PC is connected. The first digit represents the CPU Port number of the First Stage (or Primary) unit; the second digit represents the CPU Port number of the Second Stage (or Secondary) unit; the third digit represents the CPU Port number of the Third Stage (or Tertiary) unit. For example, a PC attached to a First Stage (or Primary) unit has a one digit Port ID (from 1 to 8), that corresponds to the CPU Port number where the PC is connected. A PC attached to a Second Stage (or Secondary) unit has a two digit Port ID. The first digit represents the CPU Port number on the First Stage (or Primary) unit that the Second Stage (or Secondary) unit links back to; the second digit represents the CPU Port number on the Second Stage (or Secondary) unit where the PC is connected. Therefore, a Port ID of 23 would refer to a computer that is connected to CPU Port 3 of the Second Stage (or Secondary) unit that links back to CPU Port 2 of the First Stage (or Primary) unit. Likewise, a computer attached to a Third Stage (or Tertiary) unit has a three digit Port ID. One with a Port ID of 241 would be connected to CPU Port 1 of a Third Stage (or Tertiary) unit, that links back to CPU Port 4 of a Second Stage (or Secondary) unit, which, in turn, links back to CPU Port 2 of the First Stage (or Primary) unit. · Port Key ID Examples HotKey Summary Table COMBINATION [CTRL] + [CTRL] [SCROLL LOCK] + [SCROLL LOCK] ACTION Invokes OSD (default) Invokes OSD (alternate method) [CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] + [Port Switches access to the PC that ID number] + [ENTER] corresponds to the Port ID number (as shown in the above examples) [CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] + [0] + Invokes Auto Scan Mode [ENTER] 1.

OSD is a great deal more convenient than HotKey switching, especially in large, daisy chained installations where it is difficult to keep track of the port connection of a particular computer. You can optionally change the OSD keys from the CTRL key to the Scroll Lock key from the OSD Main Menu. When you invoke the OSD, a screen similar to that shown below will appear: OSD Menu Navigation To cancel the current selection on the menu screen, press the ESC key. This will also move back one menu screen and, if on the main menu screen, it will also close the OSD menu. To move up or down through the menu list, press the up or down arrows on your keyboard or click the Up or Down Triangles on the menu screen. To move up or down through the menu screens, press the Page Up or Page Down keys on your keyboard or click the Up or Down arrows on the menu screen. To activate a port, move the Highlight Bar to it and press the Enter key. After executing any action, you will automatically be brought back to the previous menu screen. OSD HotKey Navigation HotKey navigation can also be used under OSD, as follows: 1. From the OSD Main Menu, press [CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] keys in sequence (not at the same time). Then, type in the Port ID for the computer you wish to access (refer to the Port ID Numbering section for more information on this), then press the Enter key. The Port ID number must be typed within one second of invoking HotKey navigation and should be typed from the keyboard, not the number pad.
