INSTALLATION
21
To start, identify the following prior to installation:
1.
Which ServSwitch Console Plus will be #1, #2, and so on.
2.
Which computer will be #1, #2, and so on.
3.
Which computers do not use a PC2 keyboard or a PS/2 mouse.
4.
Which Unit and CPU port each computer will be connected to.
5.
The “Starting computer” number for each Unit.
6.
The number of computers, or “Maximum computers”, that the ServSwitch
Console Plus will be managing.
The “Starting computer” and “Maximum computers” values are determined as
follows:
Starting computer
The “Starting computer” number will depend on which Unit is being
configured. The “Starting computer” number for the first Unit is always one
(default). Using Units that have 16 CPU ports, the “Starting computer”
number for the second Unit is the total number of CPU ports on the first Unit
+ one or 17, the third Unit would have a “Starting computer” number of 33
(Total CPU ports on unit #1 and unit #2 + 1, and so on.
Maximum computers
The “Maximum computers” value is calculated by counting the total number of
CPU ports on all units. If your system consists of 10 ServSwitch Console Plus
Units, each with 16 CPU ports, the “Maximum computers” number would be
160. The “Maximum computers” value must be entered from a KVM station
and when saved, this value is propagated to all connected Units.
