Chapter 3: Analog Port Operation
Controlling Your System at the Analog Port
The RCM includes an analog port on the back of the unit that allows you to
connect a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access.
The RCM uses the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting interface
(OSCAR
®
) for IBM, which utilizes intuitive menus to configure your system
and select computers.
Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in
the RCM system. You can view your servers by name, port or by the unique
electronic ID number (eID) embedded in each CO cable. You will see an
OSCAR-generated Name list by default when you first launch OSCAR.
The port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you
connect a legacy KVM switch to the RCM, the port numbering displays the
ARI port first, then the port to which the server is connected. For example, in
Figure 3.1, servers 06-03 and 01-02 are connected to legacy switches.
