highlight bar to it, then press [Enter] .

RESET
STATION IDS If you change the position of one of the stations in the daisy chain, the
OSD settings will no longer correspond to the new situation. This
function directs the OSD to rescan the station positions of the entire
installation and updates the OSD so that the OSD station information
corresponds to the new physical layout.
Note: Only the station numbers get updated. Except for the port
names, all administrator settings (such as Set Accessible Ports, Set
Quick View Ports, etc.), for all of the computers affected by the change,
have to be manually redone.

You must configure each port on the installation. For each port, press
the [Spacebar] to cycle through the choices (PC, Mac or Sun). Repeat
until all the ports have been set, then press [Esc]. The default is PC.
Note: If you are installing a Sun or Mac computer it may not boot when
you run it for the first time unless you first set the correct operating
system for the port it is connected to.

KVM adapter cable is. Press
[Spacebar] to cycle through the cable
length settings:
