KVM Ports List
After selecting one or more ports, the administrative user can enable or disable the KVM port(s) using the “Enable” or “Disable” buttons on the screen.
When you select a port and click the “Modify” button, the dialog box shown in the following figure appears.
KVM “Modify Port” Dialog Box
On the Modify Port dialog box, the administrative user can do the following:
Power management while connected to a KVM port is possible only when the following conditions are true:
The device connected to this port is plugged into an AlterPath PM IPDU that is connected to the AUX1 port on the OnSite
See To Configure an AUX Port for IPDU Power Management [Expert].
Note: On this version of the OnSite, cascading OnSites is not supported. For that reason, the only entry in the Device pull-down list is “master.”
The “Outlets at Device” field is for specifying the number(s) of the outlet(s) into which the device that is connected to the selected KVM port is plugged. Specify multiple outlet numbers separated by commas, or enter a range of numbers separated by a dash. For example, specify outlet number 1,4,6-8 if the device connected to the currently selected KVM port 3 is plugged into outlets 1, 4, 6, 7, and 8 on an IPDU connected to AUX port 1. If more than one IPDU is daisy-chained to a port, the outlet numbers would be specified sequentially. For example, if two IPDUs are daisy-chained, and the first IPDU has eight outlets, then you would enter the number 14 to indicate the sixth outlet on the second IPDU.
