The Console supports
“
Hot Plug
“
function for easy addition or removal of PCs. The user
can arrange or maintain PCs as follows:
a. A PC can be disconnected and reconnected to the same or different port of the KVM
unit without having to power it off as long as it is not the Daisy-chain port or pass through
port.
b. The pass through port PC (i.e. The pass through port means the console port is
connected to PC directly) is powered on. Before you go hot plug function, please switch to
this pass through port to next port (or say emulation port) and then switch back to the
pass through port.
c. You may unplug the mouse or the keyboard from the console port and plug it back in at
any time.
