Hot Plugging
The CS1708i / CS1716i supports
hot plugging
– components can be removed
and added back into the installation by unplugging and replugging their cables
from the switch’s ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot
plugging to work properly, however, the procedures described below must be
followed:
Hot Plugging Stations
You can change a station’s position by simply disconnecting it from its master
and reconnecting it to another switch in the chain. In order for the OSD menus
to correspond to the change, the station IDs must be reset in the OSD.
See
RESET STATION IDS
, page 35 for details.
Hot Plugging KVM Ports
After switching KVM ports, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to the
change, you must manually reconfigure the OSD information for the new Port
information. See
F3: SET
, page 32, and the Port Setting selections under the
F4 ADM
function, page 34, for details.

function may not work properly.
