Avocent 590-222-501M manual Persistent mode, User station inactivity settings

Chapter 3: Operations 57

Persistent mode

Persistent mode allows a user station to attempt to re-establish a connection to the last known target. When you enable persistent mode, the currently displayed target UID and connection type is stored as the persistent mode settings. If there is no established connection when you enable persistent mode, the settings of the next successful connection are stored.

NOTE: If persistent mode is enabled in a dual AMX switch configuration and the connection to a target server is lost due to a switch failure, then the connection is re-established automatically through the redundant path.

To set the persistent mode

1.Press Ctrl+Ctrl to launch the OSCAR interface.

2.Click the Console tab, then click the down arrow button to display the Redundancy screen.
