Figure 7-13. SIP Version Window
On occasions when a tiered switch is not recognized by the Remote Console
Switch, it may be necessary to reset the SIP which connects the tiered switch
to the Remote Console Switch. This can be done using the Reset SIP button
in the SIPs subcategory.
NOTE: PS/2, USB, and USB2 SIPs are available. In addition the Remote Console
Switch is compatible with all Avocent IQ modules including Sun and serial IQ
modules.
NOTE: The Reset SIPs button is only enabled when the SIP type is PS/2 and when a
firmware upgrade is not in progress.
NOTE: This procedure is only relevant where your Remote Console Switch system
involves a PS/2 SIP attached to a tiered switch. On these occasions, it may be
necessary to reset the SIP when the tiered switch is not recognized.
NOTE: If a reset is performed, when a Remote Console Switch is connected
directly to a server and not a Cascade Switch, the mouse/keyboard may fail to
respond. When this occurs, the target server requires a reboot.
To reset a SIP:
1
Click the
Configure
tab in the on-board web interface, then click the
SIPs
subcategory from the
Versions
category in the left column.
2
Click the EID of the SIP you want to reset.
