11. 1 01 13 PORT ID NUMBERING Since each CPU Port on a Master View installation is assigned a unique Port ID you can directly access any computer on any level of the installation using the Hot Key port selection method or from the OSD Main Menu by specifying the Port ID that the computer is connected to The Port ID is made up of two parts 1 The Station Number a two digit number which reflects the Master View s position in the daisy chain sequence and 2 The Port Number a one or two digit number which reflects the port on the Master View station that the PC is connected to Numbering Rules The rules for assigning Station and Port numbers are as follows The Station Number precedes the Port Number and must always be two digits That means that Stations 1 9 must be padded with a preceding zero so their Stations Numbers will be 01 09 The Port Number can be either one or two digits Ports 1 8 can be keyed in as 01 08 or 1 8 according to your preference Therefore a complete Port ID will consist of either three or four numbers the first two for the Station Number the last one or two for the Port Number Therefore after enabling Hot Key switching with Ctrl Ctrl or invoking the OSD Main Menu with Ctrl Ctrl keying in 0315 Enter switches to the PC attached to CPU Port 5 of Master View Station 3 Likewise 123 Enter switches to the PC attached to CPU Port 3 of Master View Station 12 You
