Operation
Powering On
When you power on your computers, the CS1182 / CS1184 emulates both a
mouse and keyboard on each port and allows your computers to boot normally.
When you power on the CS1182 / CS1184, the default selected port at switch
power on is the lowest port with a computer connected. The selected computer
will be displayed on the console monitor.
Note: The default connection is determined by the lowest numbered DVI
connection that is powered on.
Manual Switching
For increased security, the CS1182 / CS1184 offers manual port-switching
only. This is achieved by pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the
unit’s front panel.
Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus to the
computer attached to its corresponding port (see Port ID Numbering, below).
The Selected LED lights orange to indicate that the computer attached to its
corresponding port has the KVM.
Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on the CS1182 / CS1184 is assigned a port number (1–2 for
the CS1182; 1–4 for the CS1184). The port numbers are marked on the rear of
the switch. See Rear View, page 5. The port ID of a computer is derived from
the KVM port number it is connected to.
LED Display
In addition to the Power LED, the CS1182 / CS1184 has port LEDs (Online
and Selected) that are built into the port selection pushbuttons to indicate port
operating status, as shown in the table below:
