Port Numbering
Each computer on the installation is assigned a unique Port Number (PN). The
PN is a one or two segment number that is determined by the Stage Level and
KVM port of the KVM switch that the computer is connected to. The first
segment represents the KVM Port number of the First Stage unit (the CS-228);
the second segment represents the KVM Port number of the Second Stage unit.
Note: The KVM port numbers are clearly indicated on the back panels of the
switches.
For example, a computer connected to KVM port 7 of a First Stage CS-228,
would have a PN of 7.
A computer connected to a Second Stage cascaded Master View has a two digit
PN:
The first digit represents the KVM Port of the First Stage Master View (the
CS-228) that the Second Stage Master View is cascaded down from.
The second digit represents the KVM Port of the Second Stage unit that
the computer is connected to.
For example, a computer with a PN of 2-3 would be connected to KVM Port 3
of a Second Stage unit cascaded down from KVM Port 2 of the CS-228.
