|
Click the desired port number. The General Info page appears. |
|

To rename a serial port in the console server, enter a desired name in the Name in Appliance field. This may be a target device name in the console server. |
|

Select an Authentication Type for the serial port from the drop-down list. The DSView software is the global authentication method. |
