NOTE: For appliances that require Secure mode, this checkbox will not be visible and the appliance will enable Secure mode automatically.

b.Click Allow target devices with the same name to be merged into a single target device if you wish to merge a target device that has multiple connections into a single target device.

Any target devices that contain default names in the managed appliance and support the enabled connection type in the managed appliance will be added to the DSView 3 software database.

This option has no effect when adding a DSI5100 appliance, since default target device names are not supported. A target device is named when it is added as a BMC port using the Add IPMI BMC Wizard.
