Managing Your Remote Console

Switch Using the On-board Web

Interface

Once you have installed a new Remote Console Switch, you have the ability

to view and configure unit parameters, determine who has access and control

rights, view and control currently active video sessions, and execute a variety

of control functions such as rebooting and upgrading your Remote Console

Switch from the on-board web interface. The on-board web interface has four

tabs: Connections, Configure, Status, and Tools.
For how to launch the on-board web interface, see "Launching the On-board

Web Interface" on page 32. For information about the Connections tab, see

"Accessing Servers from the On-board Web Interface" on page 65.

NOTE:

The on-board web interface is not supported on 2161DS Remote Console

Switches so switches of this model cannot be migrated. Use the Remote Console

Switch Software to manage 2161DS Remote Console Switches; see the Dell Remote

Console Switch Software User’s Guide or help for more information. All other

Remote Console Switches support the on-board web interface and may be

migrated. See "Migrating Remote Console Switches to the On-board Web Interface"

on page 135 for more information.

Migrating Switches from the Remote Console Switch Software

If you have an existing installation of Remote Console Switches that supports

the on-board web interface, you can migrate the switches from the Remote

Console Switch Software to the on-board web interface. To do so, following

the procedures in "Upgrading Firmware" on page 120, "Migrating Remote

Console Switches to the On-board Web Interface" on page 135, and "Using

the Resync Wizard" on page 137.

NOTICE:

Once you migrate a Remote Console Switch, you will manage switches

using the on-board web interface instead of the Remote Console Switch Software

AMP. However, you can still use the Remote Console Switch Software to modify
