Managing Your Switch Using the Remote Console Switch Software AMP : The Appliance Management Panel

The Appliance Management Panel
Once you have installed a new Remote Console Switch, you have the ability to view and configure unit parameters, determine who has access and control rights, view and control currently active video sessions, and execute a variety of control functions such as rebooting and upgrading your Remote Console Switch. This can be done through the Remote Console Switch Software Appliance Management Panel (AMP). The AMP has three tabs: Settings, Status, and Tools.
NOTE:
The Dell Remote Console Switch Software supports the Dell 2161DS, 2161DS-2, and 4161DS Remote Console Switches.
NOTE:
The Dell Remote Console Switch Software can be used to manage Avocent® A1000R and A2000R Remote Console Switches. Therefore, all procedures outlined in this document refer to both Remote Console Switch and Avocent Remote Console Switches. Exceptions are noted where applicable.
