About the Software

You can operate the ServSelect IP from either an

analog or digital workstation. At the local station, you

will use the On-Screen Display (OSD). At the digital

station, you will use the ServSelect IP Software, a

powerful Explorer-like interface, to view your ServSelect

IP system.

The ServSelect IP Software is fully integrated with the

OSD, allowing you to manage your ServSelect IP and

other data-center devices both over LAN connections

and from the local station. The ServSelect IP Software

pulls server names from the OSD and then allows you

to view, manage and group your devices with ease.

For ease of installation, configure your server names in

the OSD and then resynchronize your ServSelect IP

Software digital station with the OSD any time you make

server changes.

While you can configure the entire ServSelect IP system through either its On-Screen Display (OSD) or ServSelect IP Software, we recommend first adding server names to the OSD at

the local analog station prior to “discovering” the appliance with the ServSelect IP Software at the digital station. Follow the procedure below for setting up the ServSelect IP Software through

local and digital stations. For more detailed instructions on hardware connection or firmware (OSD) configuration, refer to the ServSelect IP Installer/User Guide. For further information

about software setup, please refer to the ServSelect IP Software Installer/User Guide.
