Global Console Manager Installation and User’s Guide
•
When target devices are daisy chained from a single ARI port, a Cat5 cable must be connected to the
second RJ-45 port on a KCO or UCO that is connected to a target device. The other end of the Cat5
cable must then be connected to the first RJ-45 port on a KCO or UCO cable that is connected to the
next target device in the chain.
•
When only one target device is connected to a port with a KCO or UCO cable or when the target
device is the last in a daisy chain, a terminator must be connected to the second RJ-45 port on the
connected KCO or UCO cable.

OSCAR graphical user interface
Users at a local user station can use the OSCAR interface, which provides menus to configure the
switching system and select target devices. You can list target devices by unique name, eID
(electronic ID), or port number. See Chapter 3 for details on how to use the OSCAR interface.
Security
Administrators can configure the OSCAR interface to restrict access to the switching system by
configuring a password and the screen saver. After an administrator-defined period of inactivity,
the screen saver engages and access is not allowed until the correct password is entered.
Operation modes
The OSCAR user interface allows administrators to configure the broadcast, scan, switch, and
share operation modes for the target devices.
