Figure 25 DX System Configuration window
The above figure shows the rear ports of a DX Central unit. You can view the rear
ports of all DX Central units and Legacy switches connected to the system by
clicking a switch from the list on the left.
After configuring the system, the ports appear color coded as outlined by the list of
RICC Types. So a connected PS/2 type server will show up as a blue circle. When
placing the mouse cursor over a configured port the name of the device connected
to that port appears.
11.1 Auto detecting system components
The DX system can auto detect DX User units and the RICC / XRICC types of
servers / devices connected to a DX Central. Once detected, the ports on the picture
of the DX Central unit – see Figure 25 – change color to reflect the connected
devices. You perform auto detect from the DX System Configuration window.
Note! Auto detect does not detect cascaded DX Central units, Legacy switches or
power devices.
To perform auto detect:
1. From the toolbar, click . A prompt appears.
2. Click OK. Auto detect activates. When completed the newly color coded ports
reflect the connected devices.
