Viewing Target Devices

Accessing devices with a DS series network appliance is accomplished

through DSView. When DSView is opened, all host PCs and serial devices

that may be accessed system-wide are displayed in a tree structure. This tree

structure can be displayed in two ways: a DS topology view showing target

devices and the appliances to which they’re connected, or a server view that

shows all available target devices. Both viewing methods can be selected

under the View menu.
