Configuring Your SCS
Once all physical connections have been made, you will need to configure the
SCS for use in the overall SCS system. This can be accomplished using serial
interface, OBWI, OSCAR, or Avocent management software. When configuring
the SCS using OSCAR, see "Network Settings" on page 68. When using Avocent
management software, the Dell RAK is required. See the applicable Avocent
Installer/User Guide for detailed instructions.
Setting Up the Built-in Web Server
You can access the SCS using the OBWI for most day-to-day switch tasks.
Before using the OBWI to access the SCS, specify an IP address through the
10101 setup port on the back panel of the SCS using the local UI. To use the
SCS UI, see "Local OSCAR User Interface" on page 39.
Connecting to the OBWI Through a Firewall
For SCS installations that use the OBWI for access, the following ports must be
opened in a firewall, if outside access is desired.
Port Number Function
TCP 80
Used for the initial downloading of the Video Viewer. The SCS Admin
can change this value.
TCP 443
Used by the web browser interface for managing the switch and
launching KVM sessions. The SCS Admin can change this value.
TCP 2068
Transmission of KVM session data (mouse and keyboard) or transmission
of video on switches (requires the RAK).
TCP/UDP 3211 Discovery (requires the RAK).
