To sort a display by a column header, click the arrow in a column header. The items in the list are
sorted according to that column. An upward-pointing arrow indicates the list is sorted by that
column header in ascending order. A downward-pointing arrow indicates the list is sorted by that
column header in descending order.
Managing The Software Database
Each computer running the Network Access Software contains a local database that records the
information you enter about the units. If you have multiple computers, you can configure one
computer and then save a copy of this database and load it into the other computers to avoid
unnecessarily reconfiguring each computer. You can also export the database for use in another
application.
Saving and loading a database
You can save a copy of the local database and then load it back to the KVM server module
computer where it was created, or onto another computer running the software. The saved database
is compressed into a single zip file.
While the database is being saved or loaded, you cannot use or modify the database. You must
close all other windows, including target device session windows and web interface windows. If
other windows are open, a message prompts you to either continue and close all open windows or
quit and cancel the database save process.
To save a database:
1. Select File — Database — Save from the Network Access Software menu. The Database Save
window opens.
2. Enter a file name and select a location to save the file.
3. Click Save. A progress bar is visible during the save. When finished, a message indicates that
the save is complete and you are returned to the main window.
To load a database:
1. Select File — Database — Load from the Network Access Software menu. The Database Load
window opens.
2. Browse to and select a database to load.
3. Click Load. A progress bar is visible during the load. When finished, a message indicates that
the load is complete, and you are returned to the main window.
Exporting a database
You can export fields from the local database to a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file or Tab
Separated Value (TSV) file. The following database fields are exported:
