4.1Controlling Your System at the Analog Port

The KVM s2-1611 includes an analog port on the back of the unit that allows you to connect a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. The appliance uses OSCAR®, the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Report- ing interface, which utilizes intuitive menus to configure your system and select computers.

4.2Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers

Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the KVM s2-1611 system. View your servers by name, port or by the unique Electronic ID number (EID) embedded in each KVM s2-Adapter. You will see an OSCAR-gener- ated port list by default when you first launch OSCAR.

The Port column indicates the RI port to which a server is connected. If you con- nect a legacy KVM switch to the appliance, the port numbering displays the RI port first, then the switch port to which the server is connected. For example, in Figure 5, servers 06-03 and 01-02 are connected to switches.

4.2.1 Accessing the Main dialog box

Press Print Screen to launch OSCAR. The Main dialog box appears.
