Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on the CS1784 switch is assigned a port number (1, 2, 3, or 4).
The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch (see CS1784 Rear
View, page 6, 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 Port Switching,
page 11, for details).
