6. Click the Access Application drop-down menu and select the
application you want to use when you connect to this port from the
list. To allow CC-SG to automatically select the correct application
based on your browser, select Auto-Detect.
7. Click OK to add the port.
Configure a KVM Port
To configure a KVM port:
1. Click the Devices tab and select a KVM device.
2. Choose Devices > Port Manager > Configure Ports.
ƒ Click a column header to sort the ports by that attribute in
ascending order. Click the header again to sort the ports in
descending order.
3. Click the Configure button that corresponds to the KVM port you
want to configure.
4. Type a port name in the Port Name field. For ease of use, name the
port after the target that is connected to the port. See Naming
Conventions (on page 353) for details on CC-SG's rules for name
lengths.
5. Type a node name in the Node Name field to create a new node with
an Out-of-Band interface from this port. For ease of use, name the
node after the target that is connected to the port. This means that
you will type the same name in the Port name and Node Name
fields.
6. Click the Access Application drop-down menu and select the
application you want to use when you connect to this port from the
list. To allow CC-SG to automatically select the correct application
based on your browser, select Auto-Detect.
7. Click OK to add the port.
Nodes Created by Configuring Ports
When you configure the ports of a device, a node is created
automatically for each port. An interface is also created for each node.
When a node is automatically created, it is given the same name as the
port to which it is associated. If this node name already exists, an
extension is added to the node name. For example, Channel1(1). The
extension is the number in parentheses. This extension is not included
as part of the character count for the node name. If you edit the node
name, the new name will be restricted to the maximum number of
characters. See
Naming Conventions (on page 353).
