Chapter 7. Windows Client Port Operation

The Main Page

This page lists all of the KH1508i / KH1516i's ports and governs port access. Selecting a port and double clicking it switches you to the device on that port.

Note: The administrator selects which ports are accessible to each user with the User Management function (see page 65 for details).

ŠThe OSD uses a tree view. To see the ports for a particular station, click the plus sign [ + ] in front of the Station Number. To dismiss the list, click the minus sign[ – ] in front of the Station Number.

ŠA port icon in the shape of a monitor displays in front of the port number. Ports that have devices connected to them that are up and running have the port icon lit in green.

ŠPorts that have been selected as Quick View ports (see below), have a red eye icon displayed with the monitor in the port icon column to indicate so.

ŠThere are two buttons on the title bar at the top right:

Log out: clicking this button (or pressing F8) closes the OSD display and logs you out of the KH1508i / KH1516i session.

Close: clicking this button (or pressing [Esc]) closes the OSD display but does not log you out of the session. You can bring the display back with the OSD hotkeys (see OSD Hotkey, page 81).

The administrator can also use this page to enable/disable Quick View status for selected ports, and to create, modify, or delete names for each of the ports.

Quick View Ports

Selecting certain ports as Quick View ports is a way of limiting which ports are included when the KH1508i / KH1516i is in auto scan mode. If the KH1508i / KH1516i is configured to only auto scan ports that have Quick View status (see Scan Select, page 81), designating a port as a Quick View port in this dialog box means that it will be included when auto scanning is in effect.

The spacebar toggles a port's Quick View status. To select/deselect a port, highlight it and press the spacebar. When a port has been selected as a Quick View port, a red eye icon displays with the monitor icon in the port icon column. When a port isn't selected, there is no red eye icon in the column.
