Chapter 3: Local Port Operation

When the DSR1021/1022 switch discovers a cascade switch, the numbering format changes from a DSR port only to [DSR port]-[switch port] to accommodate each target device under that switch. For example, if a switch is connected to DSR port 6, each target device connected to it would be numbered sequentially. The target device using DSR port 6, switch port 1 would be 06-01. The target device using DSR port 6, switch port 2 would be 06-02 and so on.

To assign a device type:

1.In the Devices dialog box, select the desired port number.

2.Click Modify to open the Device Modify dialog box as shown in Figure 3.6.

3.Choose the number of ports supported by your switch and click OK.

4.Repeat steps 1-3for each port requiring a device type to be assigned.

5.Click OK in the Devices dialog box to save settings.

NOTE: Changes made in the Device Modify dialog box are not saved until you click OK in the Devices dialog box.

Changing the display behavior

Use the Menu dialog box to change the display order of target devices and to set a Screen Delay Time for the OSCAR interface. The display order setting alters how target devices display in several dialog boxes, including Main, Devices and Broadcast.
