Local Port Operation
The IP Console Switch has a local port on the rear panel that enables the user to
connect a KVM to the console switch for direct access. The IP Console Switch also
uses an OSD that enables the user to configure the system.
Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Use the OSD Main dialog box to view, configure, and control servers in the
IP Console Switch system. You can also view your servers by name, port, or by the
unique EID embedded in each Interface Adapter. When the OSD is first launched, an
OSD-generated port list is displayed by default.
The Port column indicates the port to which a server is connected. If you connect a
legacy KVM console switch to the console switch, the port numbering displays the
port then the console switch port to which the server is connected.
