Configuring Port Settings
Before you configure port settings, first verify that the KVM adapter cable for
the KVM port you wish to configure is connected to the correct KVM port on
the back panel of the matrix KVM switch. The other fields on the Port
Management screen are described in the table below. (These fields do not
appear if a cascaded KVM switch is connected to the port.)

Field Description
Port Note Type a name in the Port Note field. Port notes may be up to 15
characters long. Legal characters include: a–z, A–Z, 0–9, space,
and hyphen. Enter a unique note for the port that will differentiate it
from all other ports in the KVM installation. The port note will appear
on the Port Status and Port Select screens, and in the KA9233 tree
next to the computer icon.
If the KVM port cascades a matrix KVM switch, the port note is
replaced by the station name of the cascaded matrix KVM switch.
To modify station names, see Naming Stations, page 37.
If a non-matrix KVM switch or a computer is connected to the
KVM port by a KVM adapter cable, the port note can be changed.
If the position of the KVM switch or the computer in the KVM
installation ever changes, the port note for the new KVM port will
automatically change to the port note stored in the KVM adapter
cable. However, the port note for the old KVM port must be
erased manually.
If nothing is connected to the KVM port, the port note can be
changed. However, if a cascaded KVM switch or KVM adapter
cable is attached to the port later, the port note will change to the
port note stored in the KVM adapter cable.
