Green: Host accessible
Red: Host inaccessible
Blue: Inconsistency related to
a cascade connection.
There.is,.however,.a.third.state.where.the.dot.turns.Blue..A.blue.dot.against.a.
host.entry.indicates.that.an.inconsistency.relating.specifically.to.cascaded.hosts.
The.problem.can.occur.for.two.main.reasons,.either:
•. A.cascaded.computer.(or.multiple.computers).has.been.added.to.an.
address.such.as.0301,.however,.there.is.still.a.registered.entry.for.a.directly.
connected.host.at.address.03..Thus,.the.now.non-existent.host.at.03.will.be.
marked.with.a.blue.dot.
•. A.previously.connected.cascade.has.been.removed..This.will.cause.all.of.the.
entries.for.the.removed.cascaded.hosts.to.be.marked.with.blue.dots..If.they.
are.not.to.be.re-instated,.then.the.administrator.should.delete.the.entries.
If.you.attempt.to.select.an.entry.marked.with.a.blue.dot.(by.the.menu,.
by.hotkeys.or.from.the.VNC.viewer).you.will.see.an.error.message.stating.
‘computer.not.connected’.
