Screen>, <Ctrl +Ctrl>, <Shift +Shift>, and <Alt +Alt>. The defaults are
<PrintScreen> and <Ctrl-Ctrl>.
To launch the local UI:
1 Connect your monitor, keyboard and mouse cables to the switch. For more
information,see "Connecting the RCS Hardware" on page 25.
2 Press any of the enabled keystrokes to launch the local UI.
3 If local UI authentication has been enabled, enter your username and
password.
NOTE: If the switch has been added to an Avocent management software
server, then the Avocent management software server will be accessed to
authenticate the user. If the switch has not been added to an Avocent
management software server, or if the Avocent management software server
cannot be reached, then the switch local user database will be accessed to
authenticate the user. The default local username is Admin, and there is no
password. Usernames in the local user database are case-sensitive.
Attached target devices in the Local Port User Interface can be viewed and
managed from two individual screens that are selected from the left navigational
toolbar. For less than 20 targets, the Target List-Basic screen is recommended
for navigation. For more than 20 attached target devices, the Target List-Full
screen provides additional navigation tools. At the Target List-Full screen you
can navigate by entering the page number, using the page navigation buttons, or
using the filter. Either the Basic or Full screens can be set as the default screen
for selecting target devices.
Filtering
You may filter the list of target devices by providing a text string that will be
used to retrieve matching items. Filtering can provide a shorter, more exact list
of items. When filtering is performed, the Name column is searched for the
specified text string. The search is not case sensitive. When filtering, you may
use an asterisk (*) before or after text strings as a wildcard. For example, typing
emailserver* and clicking Filter will display items with emailserver at the
beginning (such as emailserver, emailserverbackup).
