Avocent 1500 Switch User Manual


 
22 AutoView 1400/1500/2000 Installer/User Guide
Figure 3.5: Devices Dialog Box
When the AutoView switch discovers a cascaded switch, you will notice the port numbering
change to accommodate each server under that switch. For example, if the switch is connected to
ARI port 6, the switch port would be listed as 06 and each server under it would be numbered
sequentially 06-01, 06-02 and so on.
To assign a device type:
1. In the Devices dialog box, select the desired port number.
2. Click Modify. The Device Modify dialog box displays.
