Chapter 7. Port Access

The Sidebar

All KVM switches are listed in a tree structure in the Sidebar at the left of the screen:

The Sidebar Tree Structure

ŠUsers are only allowed to see the devices and ports that they have access permission for.

ŠPorts and child devices can be nested under their parent devices.

Click the + in front of a device to expand the tree and see the ports/outlets nested underneath it. Click the - to collapse the tree and hide the nested ports/outlets.

ŠA port’s ID number is displayed in brackets next to its icon.

ŠSwitches and ports that are on line have their monitor screen icons in Green; the monitor screens are Gray for devices and ports that are offline.

ŠOutlets that are On have their icons in Amber; the icons are Gray for outlets that are Off.

ŠTo access and operate a port, double click its icon. Port operation details are discussed in Chapter 13, Port Operation.
