• Target Devices - Name, type and icon associated with the target device. You may also use
this window to connect to the target device. The available connection methods are

Power information appears only if the target device is a power device and the user has
power control rights. In this case, the user may power up, power down or cycle the
power of the target device.
• Managed appliances - Name and type of managed appliances and the tools that may be
used to:
• Reboot
• Upgrade firmware
• Resynchronize
• Save or restore the configuration (valid only for supported KVM switches and serial
console appliances)
• Save or restore the user database (valid only for supported KVM switches and serial
console appliances)
The available tasks depend on the type of managed appliance and the user’s access
rights on the managed appliance. (Custom tools defined by a plug-in may also be
available.)
• EVR1500 environmental monitor or generic appliance - Name and type of EVR1500
environmental monitor or generic appliance and links for establishing a connection to it.
You may change the overview information for one target device from a Unit Overview
window. From a Units View window, you can change the type or icon for several target
devices in one operation. This may be helpful when you want to assign the same values to
several units. See Unit Properties on page 158.
Other types of Unit Overview windows may be supported by plug-ins; see the plug-in
documentation for more information.
To change overview information for a target device:
1. In a Units View window containing target devices (see Accessing Units View windows on
page 118), click on the name of a target device. The Unit Overview window will open.
2. Enter a name for the target device.
3. Enter a type for the target device.
4. Select a new icon for the target device using the arrows.
