Configuring Switches and Target Devices
This section provides an overview of configuration steps for the switch and for
user access to target devices. For switch-specific information, see the
Installation and User Guide
for the switch.
To add switches, complete the following steps:
1 Install the software on one or more client computers.
2 Open the software on a client computer.
3 Use the Explorer to set unit properties, options, and other customization as
needed.
4 Configure the names of all target devices using the local GUI interface.
5 Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each switch you want to manage.
6 After one software environment is set up, select File - Database - Save to
save a copy of the local database with all the settings.
7 From the software on a second computer, select File - Database - Load and
browse to find the saved file. Select the file and then click Load. Repeat this
step for each client computer that you want to setup.
8 To access a target device attached to an switch, select the target device in
the Explorer and click the Connect Video or Browse button to open a
session (only the corresponding button for the selected target device is
visible).
