Controlling Your System
The LCM includes an analog port on the back of the unit that allows you to
connect a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. The
LCM uses the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting interface (OSCAR
®
)
for IBM which has intuitive menus to configure your system and select computers.
Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the
LCM system. You can view your servers by name, port or by the unique electronic
ID number (eID) embedded in each CO cable. You will see an OSCAR-generated
Name list by default when you first launch OSCAR.
The port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you
connect a legacy switch to the LCM, the port numbering displays the ARI port
first, then the port to which the server is connected. For example, in Figure 3.1,
servers 06-03 and 01-02 are connected to legacy switches.
