HP Compaq Server Console Switches - Manual (Page 35)

Local port operation 35
When the HP KVM Server Console Switch G2 discovers a cascaded HP KVM Server Console Switch G2,
the port numbering changes automatically to accommodate each server. For example, if the HP KVM
Server Console Switch G2 is connected to port 02, the switch port is listed as 02, and each server under
it is numbered sequentially 02-01, 02-02, and so on.
However, when a HP KVM Server Console Switch G2 discovers a cascaded Compaq Server Console
Switch, you must select the number of ports on the Compaq Server Console Switch through the Device
Modify dialog box.
Modifying device types
1. From the Devices dialog box (" Accessing the Devices dialog box " on page 34 ), select the Port
number.
2. Click Modify. The Device Modify dialog box appears.
3. Select the number of ports supported by the cascaded Compaq Server Console Switch. If the number
of ports on the tiered switch is not listed, click Other and enter a port number between 4 and 24.
4. Click OK.
5. Repeat the previous steps for each port the user wants to assign a device type.
6. Choose one of the following options:
o Click OK in the Devices dialog box to save settings.
o Click X to exit, or press the Esc key to exit without saving settings.
NOTE: Changes made in the Device Modify dialog box are not saved until you click OK in the
Devices dialog box.
Accessing the Names dialog box
From the Main dialog box (" Accessing the Main dialog box " on page 17 ), click Setup>Names. The
Names dialog box appears.
NOTE: If the server list has changed since it was last displayed, the mouse cursor turns into an
hourglass as the list automatically updates. No mouse or keyboard input is accepted until the
list update is complete.
