The Remote Console Switch uses the powerful OSCAR interface, which uses intuitive menus to configure your system and select computers. Viewing and Selecting Ports and Devices Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure, and control devices in the Remote Console Switch system. View your devices by name, port, or by the unique Electronic ID number (EID) embedded in each SIP module. The Port column indicates the ARI port to which a device is connected.
