USER GUIDE

From the File menu choose Log off. The Login screen appears and the Administrator can enter his password.

Security On – When checked Users must login to access the AIM.

Security High – When checked Users must login every time they connect to a server/device.

Relate name – You can relate the name of each device to either the Server or Port. When related to the Server, the device can be connected to any DX Central Server port, without the need to reconfigure the port.

When related to the Port, the DX system will only recognize the device when connected to the original Server port it was connected to. Connecting to any other DX Central Server port requires the new port to be configured.

Lock configuration – When checked, the system will only recognize the current devices configured. Any changes in the devices physically connected will not be recognized by the system.

Note: Relate name and Lock configuration only work for XRICCs and not for RICCs or Legacy switches.

11.6.3 IP/Cascade Settings

Here the IP elements of the selected DX Central appear as configured in the initial configuration wizard.

IP Address – A Static IP address in the usual dot notation. Subnet mask The net mask of the local network.

Default Gateway – Default Gateway address. Where the DX system is accessible from networks other than the local one, this IP address must be set to the local network router's IP address.

SNMP Manager - SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol is used to collect information and configure network devices on IP networks. Type the IP address of the SNMP Manager to send log traps of the DX system.

Send Log Trap check box – When checked SNMP log traps are sent to the SNMP Manager. The log traps are sent as soon as an event occurs. You can choose the events to be sent in the View/Activity Log window, see page 63.

Configure cascade options –When you add or remove a cascaded DX Central you must reconfigure the cascade status of the DX system. This is done using the Configuration wizard as described on page 20. To display the Configuration

wizard, click .
