HP 409054-003 manual Assigning device types, Modifying device types

Assigning device types

The console switch automatically discovers cascaded console switches attached to your unit, but you must specify the number of ports on the cascade console switches through the Devices dialog box.

To access the Devices dialog box, from the Main dialog box ("Accessing the Main dialog box" on page 28), click Setup>Devices. The Devices dialog box appears. The Modify button is available only if a configurable console switch is selected.

When the console switch discovers a cascaded console switch, the port numbers shown in the Port column change automatically to accommodate each server shown under that console switch. For example, if the console switch is connected to port 02, the switch port is listed as 02, and each server shown under it is numbered sequentially 02-01, 02-02, and so on.

However, when the console switch discovers a cascaded Compaq Server Console Switch, you must select the number of ports on the Compaq Server Console Switch through the Device Modify dialog box.
