Since each CPU Port on a MiniView
TM
installation is assigned a unique Port ID, you can directly access any computer on any
level. Specify the Port ID using the Hotkey port selection method or the OSD Main Menu.
The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number that is determined by the Stage Level and CPU Port number of the MiniView
TM
unit that the computer is connected to. The first digit represents the CPU Port number of the First Stage unit; the second
digit represents the CPU Port number of the Second Stage; the third digit represents the CPU Port number of the Third
Stage.
For example, a computer attached to a First Sage unit has a one digit Port ID Number (1-8), that corresponds to the CPU
Port number that the computer is connected to.
A computer attached to a Second Stage unit has a two digit Port ID number. The first digit represents the CPU Port number
(1-8), on the First Stage unit that the second Stage unit is cascaded down from; the second digit represents the CPU Port
number on the second Stage unit that the computer is connected to. For example, a Port ID of 23 refers to a computer that
is connected to CPU Port 3 of a Second Stage unit that, in turn, is cascaded down form CPU Port 2 of the First Stage unit.
