The IBM ASM RSA II and the DRAC 4 embedded units have one target port and one appliance for
each embedded appliance.

The NEC IPF embedded unit has nine target ports and one appliance for each embedded appliance.
Port names default to “Blade” plus the port number.

The HP iLO embedded unit has one target device.
In the DSView 3 software, each of these appliance types will contain specific information about the
target as well as the embedded appliance itself. All KVM connections are initiated through the
target port/device.

Launching embedded unit sessions
From the Target Devices window, users may launch a KVM or browser session to the embedded
devices. Each session is handled by the embedded unit and is launched in a separate window

There is no status polling for these sessions (status is idle by default); nor are there connection
