Assigning device types

The AutoView switch automatically discovers cascaded KVM switches, but you will need to specify the number of ports on the cascaded switch through the Devices dialog box. You will see an Sw-8 or Sw-24 display in the Type category for the cascaded switch. Select the switch from the list and the Modify button displays, allowing you to assign it the appropriate number of ports.

NOTE: The Modify button will only be available if a configurable switch is selected.

To access the Devices dialog box:

1.Press Print Screen to launch the OSCAR interface. The Main dialog box will appear.

2.Click Setup - Devices. The Devices dialog box displays.

When the AutoView switch discovers a cascaded switch, you will notice the port numbering change to accommodate each server under that switch. For example, if the switch is connected to ARI port 6, the switch port would be listed as 06 and each server under it would be numbered sequentially 06-01, 06-02 and so on.

To assign a device type:

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

2.Click Modify. The Device Modify dialog box displays.
