  • Page 17: Auto Discovery

    Chapter 1: Introduction Auto discovery An administrator can enable auto discovery for a serial port. If the hostname of the connected target device is successfully discovered, the hostname is shown instead of the serial port alias. This feature can save time for administrators because they do not need to enter port aliases manually. NOTE: If the console server is being managed through DSView 3 software, hostname discovery can be configured through the DSView 3 software.
