Local Port Operation

Controlling Your System at the Local Port

The DSR switch includes a local port on the back. This port allows you to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to the switch for direct access. The DSR switch uses the OSCAR® graphical user interface, which has intuitive menus to configure your system and select target devices. Targets can be identified by customizable names.

Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers

Use the Main dialog box to view, configure and control target devices in the DSR switching system. You may view the target devices by name, port or by the unique Electronic ID (EID) embedded in each DSRIQ module. You will see an OSCAR interface generated port list by default when you first launch the OSCAR interface.

The Port column indicates the port to which a target device is connected.

To access the OSCAR interface Main dialog box:

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