Assigning Specific Device Types
If the system includes one or more secondary console switches in a tiered
configuration, the user must make the primary console switch aware of the secondary
console switches by assigning a specific device type. In addition, if one or more of
the computers in the system need a special type of monitor or other device, it may be
necessary to assign that device type to the port associated with that computer.
To assign a device type:
1. In the Advanced Menus screen, move the highlight to the Setup menu.
2. Highlight Devices and press the Enter key; the Device Settings screen is
displayed.
