24 Local Console Manager Installation and User's Guide Table 3.3: Setup features to manage routine tasks for the target devices (Continued) Option Devices Names Keyboard Broadcast Scan Switch Network Purpose Specify the number of ports that are on the attached tiered appliance. Assign a unique name to each target device. Specify the keyboard country code. Simultaneously control multiple target devices through keyboard and mouse actions. Set up a custom scan pattern for up to 16 target devices. Specify the appliance mode. Specify the network speed and configuration, IP address, netmask, and gateway for the switching system. Assigning target device names Use the Names window to identify individual target devices by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. Names are stored in the CO cable, so even if you move the cable or target device to another ARI port, the name and configuration are recognized by the appliance. If a target device is turned off, you will not be able to modify the name of the applicable CO cable. To access the Names window, complete the following steps: 1. Press Print Screen to start the OSCAR interface. The Main window opens. 2. Click Setup > Names. The Names window opens. If the target device list changes, the mouse cursor will turn into an hourglass as the list is automatically updated. No mouse or keyboard input is accepted until the list update is complete. To assign names to target devices, complete the following steps: 1. In the Names window, select a target device name or port number and click Modify. The Name Modify window opens. 2. Type a name in the New Name field. Names of target devices can be up to 15 characters long. Valid characters are A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, space, and hyphen. 3. Click OK to transfer the new name to the Names window. The selection is not saved until you click OK in the Names window. 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each target device in the switching system. 5. Click OK in the Names window to save the changes, or click X or press Escape to exit without saving changes.
