Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on the CS1732B / CS1734B switch is assigned a port number
(1, 2, 3, or 4). The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch (see
CS1732B / CS1734B Rear View, page 8, for details).
The Port ID of a computer is derived from the KVM port number it is
connected to. For example, a computer connected to KVM port 2 has a Port ID
of 2.
The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM USB peripheral,
and audio focus with the Hotkey port selection method (see Selecting the Active
Port, page 20, for details).
Alternative Manual Port Selection Settings
Changing the OSD settings will invoke the alternative front panel pushbutton
manual port selection settings as follows (see Table , “BUTTON SETTINGS,”
on page 32):
 Press and release a port selection pushbutton once to bring the KVM focus
to the computer attached to its corresponding port. The USB and Audio
focus do not change – they stay with the port that they are already on.
 Press a port selection pushbutton twice to bring the audio focus to the
computer attached to its corresponding port.
 Press and hold a port selection pushbutton for more than 2 seconds to
bring the KVM focus plus the USB and Audio focus to the computer
attached to its corresponding port.
 Press and hold port selection pushbuttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for 2
seconds to start Auto Scan Mode. See page 22, for details.
Note: Press and release either port selection pushbutton to stop Auto Scan
Mode. The KVM focus goes to the computer attached to the
corresponding port of the pushbutton you pressed.
