Deleting Devices
To delete a device, do the following:
1. Select
Devices
either from the Sidebar list, or on the main menu bar (the
orange bar).
2. Click to put a check in front of the device you wish to delete.
Note:
You can delete more than one device by checking as many of them
as you require. You can delete all of them at once by checking the
box at the top of the column.
3. After you have made your selection, click
Delete
(at the top-right of the
panel).
4. In the confirmation popup that appears, click
OK
.
Note:
When you delete an Aggregate Device, all of its ports return to their
original physical devices with their status changed to locked.
Detached Devices
In addition to the device types described above, there is another category of
device, a
Detached Device
, which represents devices or ports that have been
detected to have some sort of conflict with other valid devices or ports.
Examples:
1. On a CC2000 managed Cat5e KVM switch, if there are Adapter Cables
connected to ports 4 and 6, and you remove the adapter from port 4, the
CC2000 will assume that the device connected to port 4 is off line.
2. If on the CC2000 managed Cat5e KVM switch you unplug the adapter
cable from port 6 and plug it into port 4, the cable’s Adapter ID will not
match the device information for port 4 stored in the CC2000’s database.
The CC2000 will recognize the new Adapter ID for port 4 and will treat
the original port 4 Adapter ID as a detached device.
3. If you plug the Adapter Cable originally connected to port 4 in
Example 2
,
into any other port on the KVM switch, the CC2000 will recognize the
cable’s Adapter ID and update its database accordingly, and the cable will
not be treated as a detached device.
Detached devices can be found at the bottom of the tree. You can look at the
device to try to resolve the conflict. Detached devices that haven’t been
resolved within 10 days are automatically removed.
