If a KVM s2-Adapter has not been assigned a name, the EID is used as
the default name.
4.4.3 Assigning device types
While the appliance automatically discovers cascade switches attached to your
unit, you will need to specify the number of ports on the cascade switch through
the Devices dialog box. The appliance recognizes KVM switches. You will see an
Sw-8 or Sw-24 appear in the Type category. When you select that switch from the
list, the Modify button appears, allowing you to assign the appropriate number of
ports to it.
