Figure 3. Supported conversion options
The built-in memory of each connection option helps simplify the configuration by assigning and retaining
unique server identification codes for each attached server. This integrated intelligence enhances security
and helps prevent unauthorized access to a server through cable manipulation. The connection option is
powered directly from the server, providing Keep Alive functionality even if the server is not powered on.
Local and remote user interfaces
The LCM8 and LCM16 offer two user interfaces to manage connections:
An on-screen display (OSCAR) accessible via the Print Screen button on either local user keyboard.
This interface is used to control connectivity to the target servers.
A Web browser interface accessible from any computer on the same Ethernet network as the console
switch (provided the Ethernet port of the console switch is connected and properly configured). This
interface is used to configure and manage the appliance.
