OSCAR

graphical user interface

The KVM switch uses OSCAR’s intuitive menus that allow you to configure and manage your

switch system and select servers.

Security

OSCAR allows you to protect your system with a screen saver password. After a user-defined time,

the screen saver mode engages and access is prohibited until the appropriate password is entered to

reactivate the system.

Scanning

OSCAR allows you to select a list of Server Modules which are then displayed in the order selected

while OSCAR is in scan mode. Each Server Module is displayed for a time period that you have

specified.

Identify Server Modules

Assign names to Server Modules using OSCAR. By default all Server Modules are given the name

Slot followed by the slot number. However, these names are user definable to allow ease of use.

Tiering

The KVM switch

can be tiered from an existing DELL Console Switch. In this instance, the

Server

Module

s are accessed through the OSCAR screens or software of the switch from which

PowerEdge 1855

FLASH upgradable

The KVM switch is FLASH upgradable to ensure that it is always running the most current

firmware version available.
