10DSR Switch Installer/User Guide

Verifying the ConnectionsDSR switch

The front panel of the DSR switch features two LEDs indicating the Ethernet connection. The top green LED is the Link indicator. It will illuminate when a valid connection to the network is established and blink when there is activity on the port. The lower amber/green LED, labeled 100/ 1000, will indicate that you are communicating at the 100 Mbps rate (amber) or the 1000 Mbps rate (green) when using an Ethernet connection.

Additionally, there are two LEDs above each port number on the front of your DSR switch to indicate the target device status: one green and one amber. The green LED will illuminate when the attached target device is powered. The amber LED will illuminate when that port is selected.

DSRIQ modules

PS/2, Sun, USB, USB2 and USB2L DSRIQ modules are available for attaching servers to your DSR switch. Connect virtual media to a workstation using USB2 and USB2L DSRIQ modules.

The DSRIQ-SRL serial module is used to connect serial devices to your DSR switch and features two green LEDs: a POWER LED and a STATUS LED. The POWER LED indicates that the attached DSRIQ-SRL is powered. The STATUS LED indicates that a valid selection has been made to a DSR switch. The DSRIQ-SRL module prevents a serial break from the attached device if the module loses power. However, a user can generate a serial break with the attached device by pressing Alt-Bafter accessing the Terminal Applications menu.

Before a computer connected to the DSR switch may be used for remote user control, you must set the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration. For machines running Microsoft® Windows® (Windows NT®, 2000, XP and Server 2003), use the default PS/2 mouse driver.

NOTE: For the various versions of Windows, mouse motion and acceleration are set in different places within the Mouse Control Panel applet. If you don’t find the motion or acceleration options as described in the following procedures, check the other tabs on the Mouse Control Panel applet.

To adjust mouse settings on Windows NT (using default drivers):

1.From the Desktop, select Start - Settings - Control Panel - Mouse. The Mouse Properties dialog box will appear.

2.Click on the Motion tab.
