Figure 7-13. SIP Version Window

On occasions when a tiered switch is not recognized by the Remote Console Switch, it may be necessary to reset the SIP which connects the tiered switch to the Remote Console Switch. This can be done using the Reset SIP button in the SIPs subcategory.

NOTE: PS/2, USB, and USB2 SIPs are available. In addition the Remote Console Switch is compatible with all Avocent IQ modules including Sun and serial IQ modules.

NOTE: The Reset SIPs button is only enabled when the SIP type is PS/2 and when a firmware upgrade is not in progress.

NOTE: This procedure is only relevant where your Remote Console Switch system involves a PS/2 SIP attached to a tiered switch. On these occasions, it may be necessary to reset the SIP when the tiered switch is not recognized.

NOTE: If a reset is performed, when a Remote Console Switch is connected directly to a server and not a Cascade Switch, the mouse/keyboard may fail to respond. When this occurs, the target server requires a reboot.

To reset a SIP:

1Click the Configure tab in the on-board web interface, then click the SIPs subcategory from the Versions category in the left column.

2Click the EID of the SIP you want to reset.
