Using your Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch
Setup Page
The “Setup” page is only available to the Admin user and is used to set the
group name, server (computer) name, and server scan times. The scan time is
dependent on the port being scanned, and is global (i.e. it’s independent of the
console or user). While scan times are independent of the user, AutoScan will
skip servers that the user does not have permission to view.
Group Column
The “Group” column displays the name of the group to which the server
(computer) has been assigned. The group name is arbitrary text, purely for
organizational purposes. The group name can be up to eight characters and
is assigned by the KVM administrator. The default group name of a server is
“Group X” where X is the BANK number of a KVM switch or KVM expander as
determined by the BANK address DIP switch (or in the OSD for the Rack-Mount
Console KVM Switch). To change the group name, click in the desired cell.
Computer Name Column
The “Computer Name” column displays the name of each connected server
(computer). The computer name can be up to 15 characters and is assigned
by the KVM administrator. The server list can be sorted on this field by
clicking on the column header. By default, all computer names will be named
“BANK XX-Port YY”, where XX is a two-digit BANK address number from 00 to
15 and YY is a two-digit computer number from 01 to 16. To input the computer
name, click in the desired cell.
ID Column
This column displays the BANK and port number of the KVM device where the
server is connected. The server list can be sorted on this field by left-clicking the
mouse on the column header.
