Setup, Scan Column | Belkin F1DW216 specification

USING YOUR SWITCH

The Setup Page

The Setup page is only available to the Admin user and is used to set the group name, computer name, and computer scan times. The scan time is dependent on the port being scanned, and is global (i.e. it’s independent of the console or user). While scan times are independent of the user, AutoScan will skip computers that the user does not have permission to view.

Group Column

The Group column displays the name of the group to which the computer has been assigned. The group name is arbitrary text, purely for organizational purposes. The group name can be up to eight characters and is assigned by the KVM administrator. The default group name of a computer is “Group X” where X is the BANK number of a Switch as determined by the BANK address DIP switch. To change the group name, click in the desired cell.

Computer Name Column

The Computer Name column displays the name of each connected computer. The computer name can be up to 15 characters and is assigned by the KVM administrator. The computer list can be sorted on this field by clicking on the column header. By default, all computer names will be named BANK XX-Port YY. Where XX is a two-digit BANK address number from 00 to 15 and YY is a two-digit computer number from 01 to 16. To input the computer name, click in the desired cell.

ID Column

This column displays the BANK and port number of the Switch where the computer is connected. The computer list can be sorted on this field by left-clicking the mouse on the column header.

Scan Column

The Scan column displays the current setting for how long the console views each computer during AutoScan. To change the viewing duration for a computer, click in the desired cell.
