Select the Port Number:
Select the KVM port on which your subsequent settings on this page are directed. You
can use the drop- down combo box as well as use the Previous and the Next button
to navigate to a specific port.
Computer Name
Enter a character string of 32 characters maximum to identify the computer attached
to the selected port.
Note: The computer names you specify here for each port will appear in the Windows and Java
viewers.
Scanning:
If you do not want this computer be included in the auto-scanning, check Do not
include in scanning process. Thus, you can put a specific computer out of your radar
screen if it is of no monitoring value.
Alarms:
If you do not want the scanning process to generate alarm or SNMP messages for this
specific computer, check Do not generate alarm to exclude it.
If you require power control for your connected computers, you can connect a serial
power control (SPC) device to the serial port on the back side of the PRIMA IP, and
then enable the power control feature on the PRIMA IP. Hence, remote users can then
perform power on/off and power cycling either via the viewer interface, or by pre-
defined alarm-triggered action. The PRIMA IP can support most of standard serial
power control device via its serial port (RJ12) on back panel (Don’t mix it up with the
serial console port on the front panel). To enable the PRIMA IP power control feature,
please refer to the Power Control page.
Important Note: when using a power control device, please note that some newer computers will
require some BIOS option adjustment to restart when power is coming back. Otherwise they will
not restart without a push of the computer power button. Usually, you should enable the Power
Loss Restart option on your computer BIOS (or similar option depending on the BIOS vendor), so
that your computer can boot up when the power control device is feeding power again.
Power Management:
Power Down Command: Specify here the command that must be sent to the power
control unit to power down the computer. Refer to your power control unit
documentation.
Note: To remotely power-down this computer from the Windows or the Java Viewers, switch to this
computer and then click Power off in the Viewer menu. The command specified here will be sent
automatically by PRIMA IP to the power control unit.
Delay: Here you should specify the delay time between the sending of power-down
and power-on commands to complete a power cycling. A power cycling is processed
only if you have selected Restart Computer into the Alarm page. By default this delay
is 5 seconds.
