Click Restore to cancel the changes and exit the window. The last saved settings will be restored.

Enabling individual SNMP traps

An SNMP trap is a notification sent by the KVM switch to a management station indicating an event has occurred in the KVM switch that may require further attention. You can specify what SNMP traps are sent to the management stations by clicking the appropriate checkboxes in the list. Alternatively, select or clear the checkbox next to Enabled Traps to select or deselect the entire list.

Viewing and resynchronizing server connections

The Servers category retrieves and displays the servers that exist in the Network Access Software database as well as information on how the servers are connected to the selected KVM switches.

The Path column displays the current server connection. This can be to either a KVM server module or a tiered switch. If the server is connected to a KVM server module, the KVM server module’s ARI port is displayed. If the server is connected to a tiered switch, the switch channel is also displayed. Click a Server Name to change the name of the server.

Modifying a server name

You can use the web interface to rename a server from a remote workstation rather than from the OSD of the KVM switch.

To modify a device name:

1.In the Server category, click the name of the server you wish to change. The Modify Server Name window appears.

2.Type the name to assign to the server. Names must be 1-15 characters, must include alphabetical characters and may not include spaces or special characters with the exception of hyphens.

3.Click Save. The name you have supplied is updated in both the KVM switch and the local client database.

Viewing and configuring tiered switch connections

The Cascade Devices window lets you view the tiered switches in your system. Clicking on a switch name displays a window that allows you to change the Name or Number of Channels.

To configure a tiered switch connection:

1.Click the Configure tab in the web interface, then click the Cascade Devices sub-category in the left column.
