Octoware software to manage the database and assign unique names to users, target
devices and switches. For more information, see the Octoware software online
Help program.
To begin using the Octoware software:
1. After updating the Octoware software, follow the instructions in the Octoware soft-
ware online help program for
Discovering Devices or Adding Devices . If the Octo-
ware software exists on the same physical network and subnet as the Octet switches,
then you will only need to perform a Discover Devices command, and all of your
Octet switches will be automatically discovered. If they are not automatically discov-
ered, check that the config ID specified in the Network Settings dialog box matches
the config ID specified on all of your Octet switches.
