Accessing OSCAR at a Secondary Switch
With cascaded configurations, you specify settings at the primary switch. All
naming, scanning, status flag attributes, OSCAR attributes, device settings and
passwords must be set at the primary switch.
You will access OSCAR at the secondary switch to set up broadcasting, add another
level of security in cascaded configurations or use Snapshot to save the secondary
mouse and keyboard settings. You will also access the secondary OSCAR for
firmware version information or to reset the secondary mouse and keyboard.
To access OSCAR at a secondary switch:
1.
Press Print Screen. The OSCAR Selection screen will appear.
2.
Type the primary switch port number you want followed by a dash and
the number of the port on the secondary unit. For example, to switch to
the computer connected to Port 3 of a secondary unit connected to Port 1
of the primary, press Print Screen and then type 1-3.
3.
Press Enter.
