•Individual in-band connections are labelled by an administrator-defined server name, which should identify the type of computer being accessed or be the actual name of the server.

Note: A server that is configured for both in-band and KVM connections can have two different aliases configured: one for the KVM port and one for the in- band connection. In this case, the alias that appears in the Connect to Server drop-down list is the alias assigned to the KVM port.

Port Numbers of Cascaded KVM Devices in the Connect to Server Drop-down List

In the Connect to Server drop-down list on the Connect to Server form, a name and a number connected by a period (.) indicate the alias or name of the cascaded KVM unit followed by its physical port.
