Unit Overview Windows
The Unit Overview window contains the following information about an individual unit:
• Target Devices - Name, type and icon associated with the target device. You may also use this
window to connect to the target device. The available connection methods are determined by
the type of target device.
Power information appears only if the target device is a power device and the user has power
control rights. In this case, the user may power up, power down or cycle the power of the
target device.
• Managed appliances - Name and type of managed appliances and the tools that may be used to:
• Reboot
• Upgrade firmware
• Resynchronize
• Save or restore the configuration (valid only for supported KVM switches and serial
console appliances)
• Save or restore the user database (valid only for supported KVM switches and serial
console appliances)
The available tasks depend on the type of managed appliance and the user’s access rights on
the managed appliance. (Custom tools defined by a plug-in may also be available.)
• EVR1500 environmental monitor or generic appliance - Name and type of EVR1500
environmental monitor or generic appliance and links for establishing a connection to it.
You may change the overview information for one target device from a Unit Overview window.
From a Units View window, you can change the type or icon for several target devices in one
operation. This may be helpful when you want to assign the same values to several units. See Unit
Properties on page 125.
Other types of Unit Overview windows may be supported by plug-ins; see the plug-in
documentation for more information.

2. Enter a name for the target device.
