Basic Software Operation
The RCS software Explorer (which is called Explorer from here on) is the
main GUI interface for the software. You can view, access, manage, and create
custom groupings for all supported units.
Viewing Your System in the Explorer
When you start the software, the main Explorer window opens. The Explorer
is divided into several panes: the
View Selector
tabs, the
Group Selector
pane, and the
Unit Selector
pane. The content of these areas changes, based
on whether a target device or an appliance is selected or what task is to be
completed. Figure 3-1 highlights these navigation features.
Click one of the
View Selector
tabs to view your system organized by
categories:
Remote Console Switches, Servers, Sites,
or
Folders
. The
Explorer's default display is user-configurable. You can have it automatically
open to any one of these four tabs. For more information, see "Customizing
the Explorer Window" on page 44. If you do not customize the default
display, the Explorer will open to the
Server
view once you have added your
first Remote Console Switch.
