• The shift LED display indicates that ports 9–16 are selected (not
applicable to this KVM Switch in standalone mode)
• The Console LED display will be lit, indicating that this KVM Switch is
a Console
• BANK-selection buttons will have no function because there is only
one BANK in this configuration
1. Press the direct-access port selector corresponding to the port that
you want. When you release the button, the KVM Switch will beep
and switch the focus to the selected port. If you don’t have permission
to access the selected port, the KVM Switch will beep, switch focus
away from the selected port, and the 7-segment LED display will
indicate “AF” (Access Failure).
2. If you press the AutoScan button, the KVM Switch will beep and
switch into AutoScan mode.
Note: For a standalone KVM Switch to function as described in this
section, the BANK address must be set to 00 and the “Daisy-Chain this
KVM” box must be cleared. Otherwise, the KVM Switch will function, but
it will react like a daisy-chained KVM Switch.
Daisy-Chain Configuration
• The 7-segment display of a Secondary Switch will always display its
BANK ID
• All buttons and LED displays on Secondary Switches will be disabled
Static Mode (Not in Use)
• The 7-segment LEDs will display the current BANK ID
• The port and shift LEDs will be off
• The Console LED will be lit, indicating that this KVM Switch is a
Primary Switch (Console attached)
1. To switch out of Static mode, press any button (except AutoScan) on
the front panel of the Console. When you release the button, the
KVM will switch into Select mode. The KVM Switch will not beep
to indicate the transition from Static to Select mode, but the
port-selection LEDs and the 7-segment LEDs will change to
indicate the transition.
2. If the AutoScan button is pressed, the KVM Switch will beep and
enter AutoScan mode.
Select Mode: Selecting a Server Using the Direct-Access
Port Selectors
Note the following:
• Select mode will revert to Static mode after five seconds of inactivity.
• The 7-segment LEDs will always display the ID of the BANK in focus.
• One port LED will be lit, corresponding with the port in focus on the
BANK in focus.
• The shift LED will light up whenever ports 9–16 are selected. To use
an 8-Port KVM Switch to select ports 9–16 on a 16-Port KVM Switch,
hold down the corresponding button for one second (the shift LED
will light), then release it. For example, to select the computer
attached to port 9, from Select mode, press the button for port 1, and
hold it for one second before releasing it. The KVM Switch will beep
and both the port 1 LED and shift LED will light.
• The Console LED will be lit, indicating that this KVM Switch
is a Console.
1. Press the BANK selection buttons to cycle through the available
BANKs. The “BANK +” button will take you to the next available
BANK, the “BANK –” button will take you to the previous available
BANK. For example, when you are at BANK 02 and you want to
check a server on BANK 01, pressing the “BANK –” button will take
you to BANK 01. The change in BANK is immediately indicated by
the 7-segment LEDs.
2. Press the direct-access port selectors to go to the desired server on
BANK 01. When you release the button, the KVM Switch will beep
and switch the focus to the selected port. If the user does not have
permission to access the selected port, the KVM Switch will beep,
switch focus away from the selected port, and the 7-segment LED
will indicate “AF” (Access Failure).
