Managing The Software Database
Each computer running the Network Access Software contains a local database that records the information you enter about the units. If you have multiple computers, you can configure one computer and then save a copy of this database and load it into the other computers to avoid unnecessarily reconfiguring each computer. You can also export the database for use in another application.
Saving and loading a database
You can save a copy of the local database and then load it back to the KVM server module computer where it was created, or onto another computer running the software. The saved database is compressed into a single zip file.
While the database is being saved or loaded, you cannot use or modify the database. You must close all other windows, including target device session windows and web interface windows. If other windows are open, a message prompts you to either continue and close all open windows or quit and cancel the database save process.
To save a database:
1.Select File — Database — Save from the Network Access Software menu. The Database Save window opens.
2.Enter a file name and select a location to save the file.
3.Click Save. A progress bar is visible during the save. When finished, a message indicates that the save is complete and you are returned to the main window.
To load a database:
1.Select File — Database — Load from the Network Access Software menu. The Database Load window opens.
2.Browse to and select a database to load.
3.Click Load. A progress bar is visible during the load. When finished, a message indicates that the load is complete, and you are returned to the main window.
Exporting a database
