59 CHAPTER 4 Using the OSCAR interface You can connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to local ports on the back of the appliance to act as a local user station for direct analog access. A local user can then use the OSCAR interface to configure the switching system and access target devices. OSCAR interface Main window The following illustration is an example of the Main window of the OSCAR interface. Figure 4.1: Example of a Main window The Main window lists the target devices connected to the switching system. You can order the list by target device names, eID numbers, or port numbers by clicking the Name, eID, or Port button. The Port column indicates the ARI port to which each target device is connected. If an earliermodel appliance or switch (called a cascade device) is connected to a GCM2 or GCM4 appliance, the ARI port number on the main appliance where the cascade device is connected is shown first, followed by the number of the port on the cascade device to which the target device is connected. For example, in Figure 4.1, the target device named Acton is connected to a cascade device that is connected to ARI port 06; the target device is connected to port 01 on the cascade device.

Using the OSCAR interface
You can connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to local ports on the back of the appliance to act
as a local user station for direct analog access. A local user can then use the OSCAR interface to
configure the switching system and access target devices.
OSCAR interface Main window
The following illustration is an example of the Main window of the OSCAR interface.
Figure 4.1: Example of a Main window
The Main window lists the target devices connected to the switching system. You can order the list
by target device names, eID numbers, or port numbers by clicking the
Name
,
eID
, or
Port
button.
The Port column indicates the ARI port to which each target device is connected. If an earlier-
model appliance or switch (called a cascade device) is connected to a GCM2 or GCM4 appliance,
the ARI port number on the main appliance where the cascade device is connected is shown first,
followed by the number of the port on the cascade device to which the target device is connected.
For example, in Figure 4.1, the target device named Acton is connected to a cascade device that is
connected to ARI port 06; the target device is connected to port 01 on the cascade device.
