Assigning Device Types

While the 2161DS Console Switch unit automatically discovers cascade switches attached to your

unit, you will need to specify the number of ports on the cascade switch though the

Devices dialog

box. The 2161DS Console Switch intially recognizes cascade switches as being either an 8 port

maximum or 24 port maximum switch. You will see an Sw-8 or Sw-24 designation appear in the

Type category. When you select that switch from the list, the Modify button appears, allowing you

to assign the appropriate number of ports to it.
To access the Devices dialog box:

1

Press <Print Screen>. The Main dialog box will appear.

2

Click Setup - Devices. The Devices dialog box appears.

NOTE:

The Modify button will only be available if a configurable switch is selected.

When the 2161DS Console Switch discovers a cascade switch, you will notice the port numbering

change to accommodate each server under that switch. For example, if the switch is connected to

port 2, the switch port would be listed as 02 and each server under it would be numbered

sequentially 02-01, 02-02 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.
