Port ID Numbering
Each CPU Port on a KM0832 installation is assigned a unique Port ID. You can
access and control any computer on the installation by specifying the Port ID
of the port that it is connected to. Depending on where the computer is on the
installation, its Port ID will have either two or three parts.
Cascaded Protocol Interface Installations
The Port ID for computers on Protocol Interface cascaded installations is made
up of two or three parts, depending on the number of levels of cascaded
switches:
 The Port Number on the root KM0832 station
 The Port Number on the second level KVM switch (if applicable)
 The Port Number on the third level KVM switch (if applicable).
For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of a child KM0832 that is cascaded
from Port 15 of a child KM0832, which in turn is cascaded from Port 8 of the
root KM0832, would have a Port ID of: 8-15-6.
