3.9.2 Assigning 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.
