Chapter 4. Administration

The Main Page

The Main page governs port access. Selecting a port and double-clicking it switches you to the device on that port.

ŠA monitor icon is in front of the port number. The monitor icon is green for ports that have devices connected to them that are powered on; otherwise, it is gray.

ŠIf a port has been specified as a Quick View port (see below), a red eye icon is displayed along with the monitor icon to indicate so.

In addition to using this page to select ports to switch to, 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. The following sections describe how to enable Quick View status and how to create, modify, or delete port names.

Quick View Ports

Selecting certain ports as Quick View ports is a way of limiting which ports are included when the KL9108 / KL9116 is in Auto Scan mode. If the KL9108 / KL9116 is configured to only auto scan ports that have Quick View status (see Scan Select, page 40), 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 in the port icon column to indicate so. When a port isn't selected, there is no red eye icon.
