There are no restrictions placed upon which ports are connected to devices and you can leave any of the ports disconnected if you wish.

User ports 1 and 3 are dual access ports and may have both a local KVM (connected directly) and a remote KVM (connected via and AdderLink extender) attached at the same time. The local and remote KVMs share the port on a timeout basis but only one KVM may be using the port at any one time. If you are not using all the local KVM connections it is preferable to connect the KVMs to ports that are not shared with the AdderLink so that these KVMs have fully independent access to the SmartView.
