NOTE: Some older 2161DS, 2161DS-2, and 4161DS Remote Console Switches may
have the Appliance Management Panel (AMP) enabled. To manage these Remote
Console Switches, you must migrate them to the on-board web interface. See
"Migrating Your Remote Console Switch" on page 171 for more information. The
2161DS Remote Console Switch cannot be migrated. Please see your 2161DS
Remote Console Switch user documentation for instructions on managing it with
the AMP.
When you select a server, you can click the Connect Video task button in the

When you select a Remote Console Switch, you can click the Configure
Remote Console Switch task button in the Explorer to launch the on-board
web interface. This component enables you to control each individual
Remote Console Switch. For more information, see "Managing Your Remote
Console Switch Using the On-board Web Interface" on page 140.
Viewing Your System in the Explorer
The Explorer is divided into several panes: the View Selector tabs, the Group
Selector pane, and the Unit Selector pane. The content of these panes will
change based on the type of unit selected or the task you wish to complete.
Figure 4-1 highlights these navigation features.
Click one of the View Selector tabs to view your system organized by
categories: Remote Console Switches, Servers, Sites, or Folders. The
Explorer's default display is user-configurable. You can have it automatically
open to any one of these four tabs. For more information, see "Customizing
the Explorer Window" on page 99. If you do not customize the default
display, the Explorer will open to the Server view once you have added your
first Remote Console Switch.
