Customizing Properties
The Properties window in the Network Access Software contains the following tabs: General,
Network, Information and, if the selected unit is a network-enabled device, Connections. Use these
tabs to view and change properties for the selected unit.
You may alter certain properties of individual KVM switches and servers using the Network
Access Software. The Properties dialog box in the Network Access Software contains five tabs:
General, Network, Information, Connections and Telnet.
General properties
General properties describe the unit and its location. You may specify a unit’s Name, Type (server

this field contains a value, the Browse button appears in the Network Access Software task bar.
For a server, network properties specify the URL to use when establishing a browser connection to
the server. When this field contains a value, the Browse button appears in the Network Access
Software task bar.
