Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each target device in the switching system.

Click OK in the Names window to save the changes, or click X or press Escape to exit without saving changes.

3.9.2Assigning appliance and device types

The KVM s3-1621 and KVM s3-1641 appliances automatically discover attached tiered appliances, but you must specify the number of ports on the tiered appliances through the Devices window. Fujitsu Siemens console switches and other earlier appliance models are listed in the Type category for the tiered appliances. When you select a configurable appliance from the list, the Modify button becomes available, so you can assign it the correct number of ports.
