Channel Configuration Menu Options:
1. Ch. ID
: Channel ID number.
2. Name
: Displays and enables editing of device name. Device names are case sensitive and may
contain up to 12 characters.
3. Scn
: Displays device’s individual scan rate. Type a number from 01 to 24, or use the <Ç> and
<È> keys to change the number. Default setting is 03 seconds.
4. Device
: Displays type of connected device. Use the <Ç> and <È> keys to edit a device type. If a
type other than the computer type (CPU) is selected, it is assumed that a Raritan KVM switch has
been connected to the channel according to the installation procedure for Multi-Tier Installation.
A default device name is created when a KVM switch is selected. It is highly recommended that
you change the name to something meaningful, as the name will be programmed to the CIM
associated with the device.
