SCS Quick Setup
The following is a quick setup list. For detailed rack mounting and installation
instructions, see "Rack Mounting the Switch" on page 14.
1 Unpack the SCS and verify that all components are present and in good
condition.
2 Install the SCS hardware and connect a SIP or Avocent IQ module to each
target device or tiered SCS. Connect each SIP or Avocent IQ module to the
SCS with CAT 5 cabling and connect the keyboard, monitor, and mouse
connectors to the analog ports of the SCS.
3 Connect the local port peripherals to the appropriate ports on the back
panel of the SCS and set up the network configuration. The IP address can
be set here or from the RCS software. Dell recommends using a static IP
address.
4 For the local port connection, input all device names using the OSCAR
interface or the OBWI.
5 Adjust mouse acceleration on each device to Slow or None .
To set up the RCS software (see the Remote Console Switch Software User's
Guide):
1 Install the RCS software on each client workstation.
2 From one client workstation, launch the RCS software.
3 If you have installed the RAK, click the New Server Console Switch task
button to add the new switch to the RCS software database. If you
configured the IP address as described above, select
Yes , the product already
has an IP address; otherwise select No , the product does not have an IP
address.
The RCS software will find the switch and all SIPs connected to it and
display the names in the Explorer.
