Port Selection
The CS1708A / CS1716A provides three port selection methods to access the
computers on the installation: Manual, an OSD (on-screen display) menu
system, and Hotkeys. See Chapter 4, OSD Operation and Chapter 5,
Keyboard Port Operation for more information.
Manual Port Switching
Use the front panel pushbutton switches to manually switch to a port.
Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on a CS1708A / CS1716A installation is assigned a unique port
ID. The port ID is made up of two parts: a Station Number, and a Port Number:
 The Station Number is a two digit number of the switch's position in the
daisy chain sequence. This number is displayed on the front panel station
ID LED.
 The Port Number is a two digit number of the port on the CS1708
A /
CS1716
A station that a computer is connected to.
 The station number precedes the port number.
 Station and port numbers from 1–9 are padded with a preceding zero, so
they become 01–09.
For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of Station 12 would have a port
ID of: 12-06.
