Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to power off the KH1508 / KH1516, or if the switch
loses power and needs to be restarted, before starting it back up you must
follow these procedures:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it.
Note:
You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the
Keyboard Power On function.
2. Wait 10 seconds then power it back on. If you have shut down more than
one station, power up the highest station first and work your way down to
the lowest one. Wait for each station to display its Station ID on the front
panel LED before powering on the next one.
3. After the station(s) is (are) up, power the computers back on.
Port ID Numbering
Each computer on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is
a one or two segment number that is determined by the Stage Level and KVM
Port number of the KVM switch that the computer is connected to.
The first segment represents the Stage Level of the KVM switch; the second
segment represents the KVM Port number that the computer is plugged into.
For example, a computer that is connected to KVM Port 3 of a KVM switch
that is in the 12th position of the daisy chain, would have a PortID of 12-03.
Note:
Single digit numbers (1–9) are padded with a preceding zero (0).
