Installing the IP Console Switch

Adding Servers

Although you configure the entire IP Console Switch system through either the OSD or the IP Console Viewer, HP recommends first adding server names to the OSD at the local analog station, before to adding or discovering the console switch in the IP Console Viewer at the digital station.

To add server names:

1.Launch the OSD at the local analog station, and input all server names. You can also customize the OSD, as well as access the IP Console Switch from the analog station. For detailed instructions on OSD setup and configuration, refer to Chapter 6 in this guide.

2.After you install the IP Console Viewer on each digital station, launch the

IP Console Viewer and click Add Console Switch to add the new IP Console Switch. The server names you entered in the OSD now are displayed in the IP Console Viewer for all servers and Interface Adapters that are powered online. The Interface Adapters that are offline can be added later using the

Resync feature.

For more information, refer to the HP IP Console Switch Software Guide, included with your console switch.
