Installation

Attaching an incompatible switch model

 

 

Connect the other end of the Cat 5 cable to any available ARI port on the rear panel of the KVM s2-0411 appliance.

Turn off and turn on the target devices to the tiered appliance according to the instructions that are included with that device.

Turn off and turn on the tiered appliance to enable its local port to recognize the KVM-IA.

Repeat the above steps for all tiered appliances that you want to attach to the switching system.The switching system will automatically merge the

two appliances.

All target devices that are connected to the tiered appliance are included in the main appliance target device list in the OSCAR interface. However, when an earlier appliance model is connected to a KVM-IA, the list of appliances in the OSCAR interface will display both the primary appliance port number, followed by a dash, and the secondary appliance port number. For example, the Port column for a secondary earlier appliance model might dispaly 01-02, where 01 is the primary port and 02 is the secondary port.

2.5.2Attaching an incompatible switch model

It is possible to attach appliances that are not listed earlier in this chapter. Incompatible appliances do not support seamless tiering and devices attached to an incompatible appliance will not be displayed in the OSCAR menu for the KVM s2-0411 appliance. Only the name assigned to the incompatible appliance will be displayed. To access a device attached to an incompatible appliance,

Using the OSCAR interface, select the incompatible appliance.

Re-enter the OSCAR activation sequence. This will activate the OSCAR interface for both the KVM s2-0411 appliance and the incompatible appliance.

Press the ESC key to deactiate the OSCAR interface for the KVM s2-0411 appliance.

Use the remaining OSCAR interface to select devices attached to the incompatible appliance.

2.6Setting up the KVM s2-0411 appliance

With the KVM s2-0411 appliance, you can auto detect and configure each port on the appliance. Chapter 3 provides detailed instructions on naming customization and OSCAR interface setup and configuration.
