Resynchronizing the Server Listing
You may wish to periodically resynchronize the database on your client workstation with the
database stored in the Remote Console Switch. Do this if the local user has changed server
names or if SIPs have been added or moved.
NOTE: This procedure only re-synchronizes your own client workstation. If you have multiple client
workstations, you may wish to save your re-synchronized local database and load it into the other client
workstations to ensure consistency.
To resynchronize the server listing:
1 Click the Resync button in the Server category of the MP. The Resync Wizard launches.
Click Next. A warning message displays indicating that the database will be updated to
match the current configuration in the Remote Console Switch. Your current local
database names will be overridden with the switch names. To include unpowered SIPs or
Avocent AVRIQs in the re-synchronization, click to enable the Include Offline SIPs check
box.
2 Click Next. A polling Remote Console Switch message box appears with a progress bar
indicating that the switch information is being retrieved.
