Assigning Device Types
While the appliance automatically discovers legacy KVM switches, you will need to specify the
number of ports on the legacy switch in the
Devices dialog box. You will see an indication of the
switch type such as
Sw-8 or Sw-24 appear in the Type category for the tiered switch. Select the switch
from the list. The
Modify button displays, allowing you to assign it the appropriate number of ports.
NOTE: The Modify button will only be available if a configurable switch is selected.
To access the Devices dialog box:
1 Press <Print Screen> to launch OSCAR. The Main dialog box appears.
2 Click Setup - Devices . The Devices dialog box appears.

When the Console Switch discovers a legacy switch, the port numbering changes to accommodate
each server under that switch. For example, if the switch is connected to ARI port 6, the switch port
is listed as 06 and each server under it is numbered sequentially 06-01, 06-02 and so on.
To assign a device type:
1 In the Devices dialog box, select the desired port number.
2 Click Modify . The Device Modify dialog box appears.
