Chapter 3: Local Port Operation
Controlling Your System at the Local Port
The DSR1021 switch includes a local port on the back of the appliance. This
port allows you to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to the appliance for
direct access. The DSR1021 switch uses the OSCAR
®
graphical user interface,
which has intuitive menus to configure your system and select computers.
Computers can be identified by name or number, allowing you to customize
server names.
Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Use the Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the DSR
switching system. You may view your servers by name, port or by the unique
Electronic ID number (EID) embedded in each DSRIQ module. You will see an
OSCAR interface-generated port list by default when you first launch the
OSCAR interface.
The Port column indicates the port to which a server is connected.
To access the Main dialog box:
Press Print Screen to launch the OSCAR interface. The Main dialog box
will appear.
