Using your Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch

Setup Page

The “Setup” page is only available to the Admin user and is used to set the group name, server (computer) name, and server scan times. The scan time is dependent on the port being scanned, and is global (i.e. it’s independent of the console or user). While scan times are independent of the user, AutoScan will skip servers that the user does not have permission to view.

Group Column

The “Group” column displays the name of the group to which the server (computer) has been assigned. The group name is arbitrary text, purely for organizational purposes. The group name can be up to eight characters and is assigned by the KVM administrator. The default group name of a server is “Group X” where X is the BANK number of a KVM switch or KVM expander as determined by the BANK address DIP switch (or in the OSD for the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch). To change the group name, click in the desired cell.

Computer Name Column

The “Computer Name” column displays the name of each connected server (computer). The computer name can be up to 15 characters and is assigned by the KVM administrator. The server list can be sorted on this field by clicking on the column header. By default, all computer names will be named “BANK XX-Port YY”, where XX is a two-digit BANK address number from 00 to 15 and YY is a two-digit computer number from 01 to 16. To input the computer name, click in the desired cell.

ID Column

This column displays the BANK and port number of the KVM device where the server is connected. The server list can be sorted on this field by left-clicking the

26mouse on the column header.
