Effect
If the target device for the power device socket in the DSView 3 software database
has a single appliance connection, the target device name will be pulled from the
appliance to update the target device name in the DSView 3 software database.
If the target device for the power device socket in the DSView 3 software database
has multiple appliance connections, the target device name will be pulled from one
of the appliance connections (based on the configured connection type priority) to
update the target device name in the DSView 3 software database.
If the target device in the DSView 3 software database has a single appliance
connection, the name will be pulled from the appliance to update the target device
name in the DSView 3 software database.
If the target device in the DSView 3 software database has multiple appliance
connections, the target device name will be pulled from one of the appliance
connections (based on the configured connection type priority) to update the target
device name in the DSView 3 software database.
If the cascade switch in the DSView 3 software database has a single appliance
connection, the name will be pulled from the appliance to update the cascade
switch name in the DSView 3 software database.
If the cascade switch in the DSView 3 software database has multiple appliance
connections to the same appliance (a multiuser cascade switch), the cascade
switch name will be pulled from the appliance connection with the lowest port
number to update the cascade switch in the DSView 3 software database.
(Multiuser cascade switches are treated as separate cascade switches by the
appliance.)
