HP Server Console Switch

Can anyone tell me how to get a link light on a 0x1x8 KVM Server Console Switch? When I connect it to my network, there are no link lights. I know this sounds stupid, but it's all the information I have.

The device is connected correctly and I can control the server with it, but I can't detect it on the network with the HP IP Console Viewer. I want to be able to remotely manage it via IP address and can't figure out a way to do so.

Hi Mike,

I don't think you have an IP-manageable switchbox. The IP-console switchboxes only come in 16-port versions from HP. The RJ-45 port is only for cascading a 2nd switchbox. What is the part number of your switchbox?
You would need a 1x1x16 or 3x1x16 model to access the console remotely.

Regards,
Stephen

Please do not confuse IP console switch with Server Console Switch, IP Console designed for IP Console Switch.

Thank you very much!! I only have an 8-port KVM. If I can only cascade from that, you have answered my question. Thanks again!
