Assigning Device Types; Assigning Device Names - Dell Server Console Switch User Manual

For example, the Z key on a US keyboard is in the same location as the Y key on
a German keyboard. The Keyboard dialog box enables you to send a different
keyboard country code than the default US setting. The specified country code
is sent to all devices attached to the SCS when they are turned on or rebooted,
and the new code is stored in the SIP.
NOTE: If a SIP is moved to a different device, the keyboard country code will need to
be reset.

Assigning Device Types

To access the OSCAR interface Devices dialog box:
Activate the OSCAR interface and click Setup > Devices to open the Devices
dialog box.
NOTE: The Modify button is available only if a configurable switch is selected.
When the switch discovers a tiered switch, the numbering format changes from
SCS port to [SCS port]-[switch port] to accommodate each device under that
switch.
For example, if a switch is connected to SCS port 6, each device connected to it
would be numbered sequentially. The device using SCS port 6, switch port 1,
would be 06-01, the device using SCS port 6, switch port 2, would be 06-02, and
so on.
To assign a device type:
1 In the Devices dialog box, select the desired port number.
2 Click Modify to open the Device Modify dialog box.
3 Choose the number of ports supported by your switch and click OK.
4 Repeat steps 1-3 for each port requiring a device type to be assigned.

Assigning Device Names

Use the Names dialog box to identify devices by name rather than by port
number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. You can toggle between
