!!! tip "Quick IDs changing on PiKVM V4 Plus"
PiKVM V4 Plus has a simple way read and adopt display identifiers like model and serial number
from your physical display. See [here](edid.md#adopt-real-display-indentifiers-on-v4-plus) for details.
Run `kvmd-edidconf` on PiKVM:
```console
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-edidconf
Manufacturer ID: LNX
Product ID: 0x7773 (30579)
Serial number: 0x01010101 (16843009)
Monitor name: PiKVM V4 Plus
Monitor serial: CAFEBABE
Audio: yes
```
The fields have obvious names and purposes. Note the two similar fields `Serial number` and `Monitor serial`.
The first has a numeric value, and the second is ASCII. If you are using a custom EDID from some real display, some fields may be missing.
To change the values of the EDID fields, use the `kvmd-edidconf` with options, a complete list is available in `kvmd-edidconfi --help`.
Here the small example of changing all available fields from the previous listing:
```console
[root@pikvm ~]# rw
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-edidconf --set-mfc-id=TTP --set-product-id=0x5B81 --set-serial=0x8DE11B79 --set-monitor-name=TOSHIBA --set-monitor-serial=ABCD1234 --apply
Manufacturer ID: TTP
Product ID: 0x5B81 (23425)
Serial number: 0x8DE11B79 (2380340089)
Monitor name: TOSHIBA
Monitor serial: ABCD1234
Audio: yes
...
[root@pikvm ~]# ro
```
The full list of manufacturer IDs is available [here](https://uefi.org/pnp_id_list).
